Doc Henry Posted January 24, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just some pictures of airplanes (little) near Rheims during a week-end (taken last year) I am not an expert to recognize these planes....but our flying birds (in France we call "cuckoo")are so nice and the liberty to be able to fly (if we can be a bird) is inside of all of us ! Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted January 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2008 Henri, You captured quite a nice bunch of old birds, amongst others the Stampe (canopied biplane, Belgian) and the Havilland Gipsy Moth (British). By the way, here's a small fact:most pilots flying aircraft like these are a bit careful about what and when they eat: Castor Oil spraying from the engine does its trick to your bowels anytime!

Marquinius Posted January 24, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2008 Henri, I even like the second batch better! But I'll have to think awahile about #1 ... it'll come to me. 2-4 are easy: Stampes. So there you are in your Spad/Fokker DVII ... and just when you spot the enemy, something urgent is pressing ... in your pants. If only: that would stop all fights! I mean: I just can't envison soldiers in the middle of battle ... "sorry mate, gotta take crap firs .. too late" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
