The same lack of common sence made me send this to the list instead of

Steve,

to answer your original (title) question:

"Homms a zwoates Bapperln fer mi?" or something like that - even we Germans
fail to understand the Austrians sometimes.

However, I have a Glencoe Albatros with its decals somewhere (sorry Matt -
nobody´s perfect). Could that help? And concerning help: Where do I find
your wicker seat webpage? Those Sopwith´s are now starting in earnest...

I just received a set of wings for my D.II, (Thanks Bob!), so that project
has taken over the front burner again. Unfortunately I must have mis-ordered
because Sopwith sent me 1/72 wire wheels instead of 1/48. Oh well they won't
go to waste ;-) I'll just get a set of 1/48.

I'm stuck for A-H crosses as I used the four I had on the failed wings.
Anyone have a set of four A-H all black crosses in 1/48 that I could buy,
trade or whedle off you?

I know I'm going to regret this, but...

This subject has been exhaustively covered in CCI and OTF, complete with forensic models and trajectory diagrams and learned comment by a pathologist.  So much was discussed, over multiple issues, that I have forgotten the conclusion.  Actually, I seem to recall it was favorable to the contention he was killed from the air.

Even the most recent issue of CCI has an update on the triplane seat, which was un-punctured by bullets and making it very difficult to account for a shot from below.

Hardcore devotees of Manfred's demise should avail themselves of these issues; if anyone has interest, LMK and I will search these out over the weekend and reply on Monday.

I sort of like the "grassy knoll" theory, personally.

Bob, Excellent job on Collishaw's Strutter. I just got Eric's kit a couple
of weeks ago and I'm looking forward to building it. Your review and tips
will come in handy (especially the lower wing center section and fuselage
fit). Can't do a model without a good scale drawing to follow. Can you
please send me off list the details on the cowling work you did? Your cowl
looks GREAT.

Neil,
Yes John Porte was the designer whilst he was in charge of Felixstowe
Station. But the work itself was done by Pemberton Billings I thought. Have
to check when I get home tonight. For those who want to read about unsung
heroes who got shafted during wwi, You should read about John Porte. Very
sad story.

Message-ID: <OF432D9F6C.03999515-ON852569E0.0059687B@hyperion.com>


Hi Gang,
Reading Killduff's "Illustrated Red Baron", it says that the official
autopsy revealed that the single bullet that killed MvR "entered thru the
anterior fold of the right armpit and exited thru the front of the chest
just under the left nipple". It also states that the exit wound was
"slightly higher"  than the entrance wound. This would make one think that
he was shot from below or as some have theorized, that he was hunched over
and shot from behind.  Also, photos taken of MvR after the landing show no
signs of his being beaten.  So, unless there was a massive coverup of the
incident, he was most likely killed by either ground fire or Brown.  Some
credible eyewitnesses to his being shot after the landing would certainly
have come forward by now, one would think.

Regards,
John

I suppose,  very interesting. I must read more about this.
I've read a few mag-articles about John Porte, he seemed to have

Tom, on the close up of the front of the airplane, what are the two black
dots on the leading edge of the wing?

You offering one for me Glen??

Actually I've been trying to get my hands on some OT armour. I have an FT17
at the plastic palace just waiting for me to find the cash to get it. Other
than that I've lost out on ebay auctions for Tauro A7V's and a couple of
Whippets. . .the one I really want.

Anyone looking to shed a little weight and unload some OT armour. . .bigger
scale the better??

Mack asks:

"... what are the two black dots on the leading edge of the wing?"

... and I'll horn in, since I'm here; the stacking pads for standing the winds on their leading edge.

Tom does great work, and I can't wait to see the DH2 finished.

Mack

Stacking pads - for laying the wing on the leading edge on the ground for
storage, maint or repair.
Look at Fokker Dr. I and D.VII, they are there as well.
Stacking pads are usually noted in the PM Grosz titles in Windsock.

Actually I left the cowling off because I didn't want to hide the work I did
on the Le Rhone :-) And yes in Macedonia, Mesopotamia and Palestine they did
modify or remove the spinners, but as far as removing the cowling I did not
come across any pictures of that. Removing the cowling would have caused a
HUGE castor oil mess. I set the cowling on a tarp as if the engine were
being serviced.

Thanks for the compliments. The Morane Bullet is not mine though, it is Tom
Morgan's ;-)

I fully understand, We have trouble understanding yankees down here ;-)

Sure did. I forgot about that. I dug out my kit, the crosses have white
borders, but they are the correct shape, so I can trim the borders. Thanks
for reminding me.

And concerning help: Where do I find

Please overlook the stupid pop up window the host has put on there recently.
Just hit the X to kill it when it pops up. Gotta find a new web host.

Exactly, as you described it. Diameter of the 'cut rod' is around 4 mm. But,
other list members have located this tool in automotive shops for de-rusting
purposes, and I think that's the better way to get one.

Very, very nice Tom!

I really like the strut ends and fittings and the prop boss and prop are as
good as it gets. An extremely clean build.

Anyone have a telescope? People keep rasising the bar around here and I'm
gonna need one just to see the bar.

They do have one:
http://www.nnc.or.jp/~aerobase/e_a-series.htm

I have seen one in the Deutsches Museum branch of Oberschleissheim (Munich,
Germany), and it's great (but too expensive!). I opted for the 1/160
version.

Folks,

I just discovered another gem on my bookshelf. It's the book mentionned in
the subject line. I bought it some months ago for a few bucks from a German
anthiquaric bookstore but had no time to read it yet. I browsed its pages
now for some quick reading about the crash of MvR and found some interesting
details:

1) There was more than just one bullet hitting him since another bullet hit
his boots

2) MvRs face showed no bullet holes but teeth was broken and forced in due
to the impact on the guns

3) After a week in Poulianville the wreckage was burned on the nearest
salvage yard.

That book got published in 1970. Will read it an share details with you
freaks out there in thr world ;o).

Beware of the Hun in the Sun!
