Thanks Pukin Dog.

Snippy and I have often said "Too bad we can't get paid for this", we love doing it getting paid would be icing on the cake. It's the people who contribute and read who make the threads so special though.

Morning.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Johnny.

Good plane profile today. The HS-129 was the German A-10 of it's day just like the IL-2 Sturmovik was the Russian version.

[SAMWolf]

Lets try that again.

AIBOHPHOBIA - the fear of palindromes.

LOL. Good morning Valin.

Thank you Colonel.

The "Calliope", was a multiple rocket launcher fitted on top of a Sherman tank. The training in azimuth was carried out by moving the turret, and in elevation by moving the gun. When the 60 rockets had left the tubes, the wooden launcher was jettisonned and the tank took its usual role (at least in theory, beacuse it seems that it was not so easy to get rid of the cumbersome contraption).

Patton's army equiped one batalion with that rocket artillery and the general was satisfied with the results it got, at least on the morale of his own troops. Note: Calliope designated only the launchers set, not the whole tank

Sort of a graphic heavy thread today.

It's so hard not to do with so many good pics available on the web.

[snippy_about_it]

Awwww, thanks Pukin Dog.

If we didn't have to work at our regular jobs we would have the time to put some ideas together. It's a catch 22.

LOL. But we'd have to drag you all along with us, wouldn't be the same without our readers. :-)

Bookmarked? Darn why didn't I think of that!! Most of them are just scrounged up as we do threads and I just remember the "good" sites.

[snippy_about_it]

Neat plane, thanks Johnny.

[snippy_about_it]

Good morning feather.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Surely you jest! I have a few favorites bookmarked but actually most of my library consists of ASL sites. I know, I know, no life ...

[Valin]

but my work computer doesn't like websites dealing with deadly things such as guns and armor. LOL.


The kinder gentler computer. :-)

What is it? The Kumbaya 2000?

[snippy_about_it]

Goof morning feather? ROTFLOL. So I take it the posts removed were yours SAM??? Need more coffee? LOL. I can't stop laughing.

Thanks for the flailing crab tank pics. :-)

[SAMWolf]

Believe it or not most of my bookmarks are Panzer Elite, Steel Panthers, News or Music sites. That's only because I forget to bookmark sites as I find them.

[SAMWolf]

Yes. Not having luck with remote linking today, so I saved the pics and reposted.

Hiya Sam. A slightly practical TreadHead toy:

Howdy ma'am

Sam's brain is a bookmark. :-)
