I do not remember well but the lady pushing the stroller is either a Brit or Belgium nanny. So transportation caretaking should be ok 2. No comment to Stropp as we have proved several times your materiel to be fake. 3. VL (comes from VTOL=vertical take off and landing), in this sense only Vertical Landing, was very common in the RAF. This humble sample shows a masterpiece VL on a tip of this mast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 Egbert, I only see Germans putting part of a British wing on top of a mast, correct me when I am wrong, sign of surrender??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 A vertical crash landing or landing with the tailsection kept upward was called a 'Denkmal' (monument) by the germans To avoid STROPP making more vertical landi!ngs, they gave give another machine, initially a present for the Red Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 Worked well until, rounding a corner at speed, a 'wing' tip touched the ground and.... ouch, the grazes. This is why Manfred von Richthofen gave it away. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marina Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 Marina here is a picture from this morning with Heinrich baby and the civilian tross being evacuated from the war zone due to Brit bombardments Oh, it is so nice to know that we gave the civilians time to evacuate! Glad to that the child is fleeing to the british zone. He'll be safe there from Fokkers and Albatrosses! Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cnock Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 ''and German of course'' Yes, Flanders was to be become part of the German Reich! of course without asking the locals what they thought about it.

egbert Posted 21 July , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2007 Well the good ol' times: now Flanders, with county seat Ypern, is part of the Brit Empire, of course without asking the locals what they thought about it.

Cnock Posted 21 July , 2007 Share Posted 21 July , 2007 and I must admit, they still pay in £ at Ypres, and want exchange money in £, while we are in the Euro age Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no depths to which that Egbert and his Fokkers won't stoop! Marina Marina is sis skottisch slang? Poor child he will learn proper Flemish (Dutch) and German of course! No, No, Egbert.

SiegeGunner Posted 22 July , 2007 Share Posted 22 July , 2007 What the picture actually shows is German engineers constructing a decoy out of salvaged British aircraft parts on top of a pylon. The object of this dastardly ruse was to trick British pilots into descending to low level to investigate, whereupon Stropp would dive on them out of the sun - giving rise to the saying "beware the Hun in the sun".

egbert Posted 22 July , 2007 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2007 The next propaganda trick in a long and unpleasant row to discredit Stropp. Stropp was not on base the last 1.5 days, he did not fire any rounds as he is some 300km away from the aerodrome: Stropp discovered that doped athlets are welcomed at Tour de France. Now since he takes these green pills each day he thought he can join the bunch. Currently he is actively participating in the tour of the tours as proven here in the Paris Match journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 22 July , 2007 Share Posted 22 July , 2007 In the mean time the nigh shift is not performing it's proper repair job.

SiegeGunner Posted 22 July , 2007 Share Posted 22 July , 2007 Currently he is actively participating in the tour of the tours as proven here in the Paris Match journal This remarkable photograph may provide the answer to one of the great unsolved mysteries of the War — the unexplained disappearance of an entire peloton of elite Belgian 'Chasseurs à bicyclette', who were last seen pedalling furiously into action on the Yser front. The fact that Stropp entered the Tour de France on what appears to be one of their bikes suggests that, with their heads down over their racing handlebars, they inadvertently pedalled straight through the front lines and into history.
