like I said… only reason I’m not okay with that photo… I know a guy I’d rather not like to see bombed in pest control… y’know? And for the record, I knew it was a Lancaster. knew a guy who built “museum grade” 1/4scales for very-local airshows (think count fairs and kids at schools. they were all R/C, mind. Those were beautiful. Even better was the ‘kiddie scale’ b-25… that he’d open up and let the kids go inside and go to town… it was scaled so it would ‘feel’ full-sized. Yes. He’d disable the engines, but the control surfaces all worked. Like handing the kids crack-laced sugar.)
The picture is a Lancaster dropping a “blockbuster” bomb in conjunction with incendiary bomblets.
Wrecking and torching a city is not OK in my book. But I’m less concerned with the health of individual nazis.

But. the jokes… the hellfire missile we’re talking about has blades that spring out on it. probably a billion+ R&D racket there…
