Purhaps this website will be of interest to you LH: https://flying-guns.com/flying-guns-wwii-fighters/

It lists various fighters and considers their armament, including how long they can fire their various weapons for.

The day after my Birthday in 1991, the Alliance invaded Kuwait/Iraq.

On my birthday in 1981 there was an attempted coup in Spain.

On my birthday in 1988 Saddam Hussein begins a genocide against the Kurds

On my birthday in 2021 Four prison riots killed 62 people Ecuador.

The day after my birthday in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.

In January 2023, I started monitoring how much I spent on the hobby; figures, books, paints etc.

So far, it's somewhere between "wow!" and "ouch!".

I justify it 'cos I don't go on holiday, don't own a car and don't socialise. If I ain't at work, I'm hobbying.


To be fair I only looked at it 'cos I just put in another order with Pendraken and another with Maverick Models (flags for armies I haven't even started ordering!  :( )

Mine's got the relief of the siege of Malta to its credit; also Borodino, from the days when Russians could with a straight face be called good guys in venues other than Quora.

I'm impressed you were born before Borodino...

I've just had our new starter ask me how to use the photocopier - she's 24 AND NEVER HAD TO USE ONE BEFORE.

I feel soooooooo old...  :'(

OK - what is going on - has someone excavated a pyramid in Smoggy. There are "unread" posts from 2019 up today. Take it Leon has uploaded the entire "waybackmachine" content ?

Yep, exactly as Ithoriel suspects, I've not updated the requests lists for a while so thought I'd get it done last night.  We're hoping to clear some of the decks this year (along with some of the requests too) so I'll get a new Top 10 list put out this weekend.
