h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hi
I very much enjoyed reading mosquito history.
My dad,who was an armourer,used to wax lyrical about the aircraft.
he told me,which i did'nt believe at the time,that it was made of plywood.
the versatility: variety of ordnance,speed,range he spoke of in glowing terms. In retrospect now,this impresses me alot - as he was - I suppose,an expert.
He also told me,with some pride, the he worked on the same bench as 'cats-eyes' Cunningham and told of me the 'carrot/vitamin' propaganda

I am glad that you enjoyed it And thank you for taking the time to stop by and tell me Unfortunately I did not know anyone who worked with the Mossies, I just thought that the PhotoReccy one was one of the most beautiful things ever designed Did your dad know it was propaganda at the time?

Hopefully your stopping by here is just what I need to get writing again Cheers and until later...

I think it was well after the war that he talked about details like 'carrots'!

I still remember being mesmerized by his explanation, in some detail, of the principals of 'synchronization' - bullets/propellers and how impressed my schoolfriends were when I regaled them with the technicalities !

Keep up the good work
