Unfortunately the "Search Arcs" problem was not fixed in latest WitP-AE patch "Version 1.01.06i" from 26 November 2010...

One of my very favorite things about snowfall is the quiet that it usually brings.  

Speak for yourself, mate. There is no environmental condition that results in quiet that can befall a household with a 3 year old and a 6 year old running around.


Mine are 17 and 20 and it's still noisy with them around. Wouldn't want it any other way....



Hear, hear. Mine are 22, 21, and 15. I like all of their noise



Mine are 17 and 11. One's going shopping for clothes, the other is paintballing today. The house goes very quiet when they're both out.

It's been some time since we've had a vicarious BFU update. Do tell...

Booty For A Babe: Another Al Wheeler Mystery
Al Wheeler appears again in Booty For A Babe. This title was published in 1956 by Horwitz and is the 31st entry in the Numbered Series. This story is a screwball case as quoted by Commissioner Lavers. Lavers is LT Wheeler's immediate superior. Take a bunch of science fiction fans, a lecturer, a tungsten dart in the heart of the lecturer, and the dames. Even the redhead dame, with no experience with boy and girl stuff, so Al brings her back to his apartment and he introduces her to his Hi-Fi setup. And then there is the blonde, her boyfriend bores her so she prefers to drink with Al. And how about the other blonde who can throw a switch as fast as Al can duck. Here she is, there she isn't, that away kind of girl. People keep dying in this case and Commissioner Lavers wants the case solved fast. Or Wheeler will be in a blue uniform very soon.

Productive day ... have put up all Christmas paraphernalia (not that its so much being a bachelor), went downtown and finished all my Christmas shopping and topped it off by doing one months worth of accumulated laundry.

Time to award myself by finishing off what's left of the bottle below ...

Smooth ... and with just that perfect little touch of rum in it ... bliss ...





You had a very productive day. We are planning to do the xmas decoration thing today also. Some years we get it done this early, some years it is not finished until the last minute.

Hehe, that is a great line. Without the Nazis I am not sure there would even be a History Channel.

Same thing for me. I just had a short burst of productivity.

BTW, up early or going to bed late?

Cannon-armed Spitfire in November 1940...


There were few (very few) Mk IB's...

Not seen it yet. Looks interesting though.

He's got his Spitfire all wrong for November 1940 though Should be brown/green for 1940, without the band round the fuselage. And the MkV wasn't in service then either


Movie was made in 2008... he usually puts it on Internet for free but this one went to few movie festivals and thus it is not released (as far as I know) to general public thus far...

And agreed about cammo scheme (although this is November 1940... perhaps the cammo started to change at that time)...




Leo "Apollo11"


I'm just nitpicking I guess

The sky fuselage band came in during early 1941 iirc, and grey/green camo in 1942. The thing about using a MkV cockpit for a MkI Spit isn't going to make any issues. But the wings are CGI right, so there's no reason for those to have the cannon on them.

Hearing you pick nits re: the cockpit / armament / paint scheme used is actually interesting, believe it or not. I hadn't really thought of the camo pattern at all until you mentioned it. What's the rationale for the R/W/B striped 'flag' on the foreward part of the tail? It looks awfully French...

iirc, it's a holdover from the days of the ASF in France. Just another form of quick identification brought in to provide similar forms of ID between French and British aircraft. The RFC in France used a similar thing in 1914-18.

And Albacores, Martlets, Swordfish...

iirc they were painted with the stars as it was thought the French would be less likely to shoot at the Americans than us. Apparently the French were slightly upset that the RN sank their fleet

How unsporting. It's not like the RN had done that a couple of times historically ...
