Re: Operation Vengeance and a Fork Tailed Devil
I can’t say that I’ve met any Frenchmen face to face. We served alongside them in Bosnia and crossed paths on occasion, but both groups avoided one another.
Now Spaniards I know a bit more from my travels… and considering I have a huge family that is still in Mexico…

I've worked with a few French people over the years - nice guys, much like the Poles I've worked with.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 11:45 am I can’t say that I’ve met any Frenchmen face to face.

Awesome! I've not been to Mexico but I like the vibe. I've been to Spain a few times over the years and loved it. A very chill place, especially if you go to the non-touristy bits (we travelled to Valencia from London by Train). Loved the food!

That's a nice pit! And I think I've asked this already somewhere: how does Marmite perform as a weathering wash?

Lol! I use it for the oil staining under the fuselage!
Thanks Martin!
