A Cat from Hell?

Hey Dex,

I'm curious about the quote in your sig, from a film or something? Whilst I'm most definitely a dog person, that does sound a little harsh on olé Tiddles. Or was she the Cat from Hell you mentioned in your opening?

Hi Jamie,
It's a line used in Battlestar Galactica which is my fav "dark" sci-fi show! Certainly no bad intent against kitties of any kind!
 
Jamie, have'nt you got the new FSX Gannet ASW that Rob Richardson did, I think I had that Gannet a good few years back spent more time on its tail when taxiing than on 3 wheels left it behind when I moved out here.

Hey Dex,

I love the shot, wish my X looked like that, green with envy I am. Anyway, your shot inspired me, I've just finished a little dash around in my Fleet air arm Gannet (Hellkitty :d) bought it ages ago on disc and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me.

Jamie

PS. no pics I'm afraid (cos I am)

In defense of being "accurate", I would say that you fellows that don't give a R.A. as to if a plane is depicted correctly, I would say that there are so many inaccuarcies that have crept in about WWII aircraft that as long as I live. I will defend against them.
From the bob nosed PBYs the folding wingtip floats on the JRF, the back brace on the canopy of the Bearcat to the bombs carried by the Hellcats.
Now I lived with these aircraft and for future reference, I'd like to show them as they really were.
No jet engines on a PBY or purple TBFs thank you.

Rich, I thinks he's referencing the fact that the Fleet Air Arm initially called Hellcats Gannets in keeping with the aircraft naming policy extant at the time. Then someone pointed out it was just confusing issues, never mind trying to order parts, so they reverted to calling them Gannets. It was at the same time they stopped calling Wildcats Martlets.

Now to see if I can mount some railguns on an F4U...
