Just want to correct you on that expression, the fjords of Scanidanvia are located on the Atlantic side, so the only time Swedes have been dwelling there was at the times when they occupied parts of Norway. (Neil is of course welcome to visit the Norwegian fjords whenever he likes, we are proud of them and like to show them to visitors) The German emperor liked to visit the Norwegian fjords before WW1, usually he brought a fair part of the "Hochseeflotte" with him. This resulted in the British Royal navy staying just outside Norwegian waters to keep an eye on things and the Norwegian navy feeling small with their four small coastal battleships. Two other items that are more directly OT: I have more photos to scan and send in, think the next sets will be German. And the discussion on the Aerodrome forum is a good example of people pressing the "send" buttton before thinking about the consequences - I respect the work of both parties and I am impressd by the time and effort they put into our hobby.

Yes? No? > Possibly? According to O'Connor, red and white bands were at first the main AH national marking, later (about 1914-15 winter, I can check if you need exact date) black crosses were added, and finally Army aviation withdrawn stripes (in 1915?). In Navy aviation stripes were used till the end of the war, as "fast recognition" markings - Italians used a lot of very similar airplanes to the Austrians (also license built Lohners!) so that was necessary. Also Italians painted their flying boats in a lot of green-white-red stripes or other fields. Lohners (and Aviatiks and DFW and Albatrosen B were used with these stripes operationally on the Eastern Front. I have interesting, but short book about it).

Till the May 1915 in theory (date of the order introducing crosses) , and till the Dec. 1915 in reality (on which is dated the first photo showing plane with crosses) that stripes were the only Austro-Hungarian national markings (with addition of the black eagle on the yellow field sometimes). Introduction of crosses wasn't probably applied in training units, so if you see a photo of plane without the crosses, but with stripes later in the war, it probably belongs to the training unit. Crosses were introduced in order to avoid misidentification with enemy Serbian planes, which were marked with red-white-blue stripes, with very pale blue, which tended to fade quickly, leavung the impression of the red and white stripes only.

Thanks for jumping in with real knowledge (grin). I spent time today with a tuna sandwich and the FMP books and convinced myself that I was wrong about the trainer thing as a single explanation but couldn't see an alternative. I think my misinformation came from reading abou the Lohner B.I & B.II and all the references to their use as trainers. I could have sworn that I'd read an explicit statement about the stripes and trainers but I sure can't find it now so it must have been my imagination. > Lohners (and Aviatiks and DFW and Albatrosen B were used with these stripes > operationally on the Eastern Front.

RK sopwith, naglo........etc. and speaking of Sopwith, I shot a film roll last weekend of the San Diego museum's new, unfinished Pup. I spoke for a long while with the guy who did the metal work and he explained what a pain in the left buttock it was making all the duplicate mounts, plates, fittings, turnbuckles, etc. Also spoke with some of the woodwork guys and they told the same tale of wanting to get it all RIGHT.This thing is going to look like it just rolled out of the Sopwith factory when finished. One of the wives of one of the sponsors of the project whispered in my ear in a raspy snarl "you know what they're going to do to this airplane?........COVER IT! can you believe it? They're going to cover up all that beautiful work". I know what she meant- it's going to be one elegant skeleton. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2002 22:30:02 -0500 From: "Dave Burke" To: Subject: Re: Your question about the Italian front Message-ID: <001601c26c1f$7e8dbf80$21eb79a5@s0024008072> 1> Lohners (and Aviatiks and DFW and Albatrosen B were used with these stripes > operationally on the Eastern Front.

I'm back too - it's a long story and I missed meeting up with list members along the way (except "nieuport", of course). I did meet up with a number of fellow modellers in Ottawa and attended a local IPMS meeting there. Even better, I sold my house there to one of 'em ;-) I currently have two cars, one aeroplane and one house in various stages of dismantlement, so modelling is not the highest priority. I did get some decals and a couple of kits along the way but I would be ostracized on this list if I mentioned the subjects... On the 'OT' front, I did divert from the primary mission and visit the NASM in 'DC'. I even got a passable photo of the rotary engine that spins (albeit slowly, so I didn't need a fast shutter speed).

Thanks again for the clarification. Of course in Polish. It's a more fun than serious book, was sponsored by Okocim brewery - as on the Okocim (Brzesko) brewery area was located one of the most important aerodrome during Galizien campaign in 1914, also brewery workshops were used as aircraft repair workshops. Some interesting events described in the book are: "Bombing" of the Russian parade in captured Okocim with brewery leaflets "Drink the finest Okocim beer!" story about cossacks ordered to destroy the big beer reserves and remove them to the river - immediately after all the Russian soldiers were drinking "water" from the river (rather small creek). First artillery attack corrected from air through radio: bombing of Tarnow 12 January 1915, aircraft involved was Albatros B.I "Muzzl" from Flik 1, crew Hesse and Dumbacher, but Benno Fiala was involved too. Airmail to the besieged Przemysl Fortress and the beginning of the AH air operations in the WWI from Galizien airfields, by Fliks 1, 5, 7, 8, 10 , 11, 14. Book contains some nice OT paintings: mostly mentioned in the book airplanes, but also big colour plate showing air-service uniforms of all main WWI countries. Book isn't available in the bookstores now. Cheers!

I would estimate them 2,5mm for 1/48.
