Jimmy James flew for the RAF!
Question: 607 Squadron at Martlesham Heath September 1941: the first operational squadron equipped with the 'Hurri Bomber'. Standing, from left: Sgt E.A.S. 'Stan' Perris, Sgt E.J. 'Johnny' Staerck, Sgt W.D. Jimmy James, ? ? P/O A.J. Beales, F/O J.N. Watson, F/o J. McGregor, P/O S.F. Mansfield. Seated: Centre Sqdn Ldr G.D. Craig, ? far right F/O H.S. Mills ? Front on ground seated 2nd right, Fred Vivian Griffiths. Others unknown. According to my Osprey Aircraft of the Aces #81 Griffon Spitfire Aces, He flew with No. 607 Sqn in Burma in 1942-44 claiming 2 destroyed, 1 shared, and 8 damaged, flying Hurricane IIc and Spitfire Mk.Vc's. Later he flew Griffon-engined Spitfire's in Malaya against the insurgents post-WWII, is why he is in that volume. Answer: Uncorrect. I was with the 506th. Easy company. I jumped into Normandy the day before D-Day. Killed a Kraut with his own helmet. I'm just sayin'. Answer: Uncorrect. I was with the 506th. Easy company. I jumped into Normandy the day before D-Day.

You could've flown down in Burma with Erroll Flynn until '44 then jumped with the 506th. :o Answer: To quote the map forums "That would mean his name was James James", interesting.

I hate Griffon spits... i'm a purist :) Lately i've been flying this a lot in Warbirds... Answer: I hate Griffon spits... i'm a purist :) Lately i've been flying this a lot in Warbirds... La-5 or La-7? looks like a La-5 but they look a bit similar anyway. I need to try Warbirds, I have one of those blue-metallic Saitek joysticks with the separate throttle that I used for sims awhile back, but I havent hooked it up to this computer, and I've had this 'puter for 3 years. I also have some CH rudder pedals, I'm not sure if they'll work with the Saitek or not? :confused: (I used to use CH joystick/throttle, but my CH stick broke from hard use) Answer: Uncorrect.

This is like some kind of bizarro-Motorik post. :freak::o Answer: La-5 or La-7? looks like a La-5 but they look a bit similar anyway.

Fastest plane in the air below 8K, 3 x 20mm cannon, turns and rolls on a dime.... scary good :) Squirrely as hell though - the insane roll rate makes it basically unstable. Your Saitek and CH pedals should both work fine with WB, as well as your 3 year old comp - WB isn't that graphic intensive, and there are lots of video options that can be turned down without ruining the experience. theories on how this guitar got broken? Mesa DC 5 clean clip (with pedal FX)? I'm taking my strat and to get a nut job, few questions.? Lots of Solitaire? Peavey XXX lounge enter here? Which one of these do you like better Your opinions please.? Tube amp fried? Hilarious? Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.todayaq.com
