I think Irfanview can do resizing. The Vista version of MS Paint is also capable of resizing jpeg and gif images. Any of the advanced photo editing software packs will also have a resize function (Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Gimp, etc...)

Anyone who's interested, the signature rules are linked from the signature section of the Forum Rules thread in the top of every forum, or cllick here

He-280?

Yes, it's the He-280.

Makes one wonder how the Luftwaffe would perform and look like if Ernest Udet, then head of RLM, approved the further funding of the design after it was demonstrated to him as early as in April 1941 - flying under own jet power. Perhaps this funding would help iron out the problems they had with HeS units.

Dance, shoot.

Thanks Tim, it was strange that they had a fairly sound base to work with but did nothing with it, when you you look at some of the later crackpot ideas that were pursued.

Ok, what's this?

Is it a Bloch M.B.162 - bomber version of the civilian passenger and mail plane M.B.160?

Not a M.B.162 sorry TT.

Here's another view of it, it was built for the same requirement as the M.B.162 that Tim mentioned. There were two other competitors but only one other manufacturer built a prototype, afaik.

Amiot 350?

Not an Amiot 350, there was an Amiot 380 design submitted for this requirement, but that's the one that wasn't built I believe.

So it's not a M.B.162 or an Amiot 380, it's one of the two left to choose from

SNCAO CAO-700

That's the one Uufflakke, the other design that reached prototype stage in this search for a French long range bomber was the Breguet Br.482.

The CAO 700 didn't fly until after the armistice and was then stored in a hangar where it was destroyed by allied bombing.

Over to you Uufflakke

That was not an easy one that darnn CAO-700!

What is the name of this thing and which country made use of it?

RAF Fighter Command control room clock for plotting RAF fighter positions. They used a different style with 2.5 minute instead of 5 minute divisions for plotting German aircraft.

Yep, that's the one!

Here is some more info about it and how it worked:

RAF Operations Room Plotting Clock

Thanks Uufflakke, here is the other clock I mentioned.



Ok, should be fairly easy, what's this?

General Airborne Transport XCG-16?
