    It's been ages since I had some good sauerkraut. It's not normally in my Italian diet but one must keep an open mind.

    Don't say you're going to eat Sauerkraut
    Open minded or not, it'll make him & the men nervous...

    Is it a Kentucky thing ?

    I can hear whistling. Camelbeagle, Baz, Zenlizard and Sauerkraut stare each other down as if they are in a Mexican Standoff. Who is the 'Good', the 'Bad' and the 'Ugly'? And a 4th, 'More Ugly'?

    Over the Briny Turn 7

    The first and second to splash into the Briny.


    The Mexican Hat Dance doesn’t end on friendly terms as it turns into a brawl. We’ll never know who started it. Zenlizard gets in the first shot into Baz’s tail.

    Camelbeagle look on from above with bad intent.

    Flash banks right while Blind Hans frantically hauls in the line with a bucket flailing madly at the end.

    Maslachi turns right with an eye on Blind Hans working away in the tail end of the tandem.

    Karo7 turns away from these two, leaving them far below.

    Baz shoots on the diving camelbeagle.

    Sauerkraut puts zenlizard out of his misery with a round to the back of his head. At least he won’t burn to death as the fire is put out.

    Good luck to all left, a bit difficult to stay alive but entertained 2-3 of our Italian friends. What a way to treat a visitor to your country at the beginning of the mission!

    I remain convinced that the deck is entirely wrong - too fast and too manoeuvrable...

    Speed's right - the Macchi M.5 had a 160hp lump and rates at 189 km/h (117 mph@SL) which equates to the fast deck - and described as 'fully aerobatic' in my reference book so, unfortunately, it is probably spot on. The M.7 was quicker still.

    The various Albatros models had the same 160hp (or more), were smaller, lighter, more streamlined and had much less drag-inducing rigging wiring...
    I simply don't believe the Macchi figures.

    Yes, that's strange. Can the uplift of a bigger wing area compensate the higher weight, in terms of speed? And can the Macchi's fuselage without the undercarriage and the pusher design give an advantage? Although the Albatros looks perfectly streamlined, the Oeffag types without the spinner had a better performance.

    Sauerkraut somehow keeps camelbeagle in his sights and pushes the firing tab on his one functioning Schwarzlose.
    Camelbeagle instantly realizes why his Macchi is dropping like a brick. There is very little left to think he is flying an airplane. This Macchi won’t float for long. Maybe the fishing boat has room for one more?
