Once agian work called. I am now out of town and have no chance of posting for the contest. (Unless it rains and we cant work, or Neal changes the time to 2300 ). Not to mention the thrill of the worlds slowest dialup.
And yes Neal, that a good one. Make them work for it.

Right, it's a Focke-Achgelis Fa330 called Bachstelze (=wagtail in english) which lifted off from 18Miles windspeed (wind+boat). There were built nearly 100 of this helis and they were made for the german Type IX D2 for the indic. The time to activate the Bachstelze was 7 Minutes and the time for taking apart and packing was 2 minutes. |

Well, damn. I thought that was a torpedo being dropped so I guessed the QH-50.
I actually found the kite first , but discounted it because I was fixated on the torp.. |
