In an effort to quickly produce a side by side cockpit layout for the He111, the company constructed a single airframe with the cockpit assembly installation simply rotated 90 degrees to the left. This did not prove very practical.

Oh, Gentlemen, you are all doing VERY well.
It will be a pleasure and a privilege to eventually have to judge this one!

Fritz never liked having to take an IFR check flight, there was always too much cloud wherever he looked and he could never remember where the instruments were.

Yep I think we are ok to eject from this and not have our legs cut off at the knees
or
having been intercepted by a couple of Spitfires after 7600 Lost Comms Kiltrash returned to London and finds a missing man flypast is in full swing ( goodbye Danny)
or
Bombardier, Radio operator, Navigator, air gunner, cook, bottle washer, lav attendant, nurses maid and report writer .... There is only soo much one crew member can do. Time to apply to be a Pilot. They have such a easy time

Having transferred from the army, the nav was always prepared for "Greatcoats on, greatcoats off."

Look here Nav. When I said that we had been sent to Coventry, I didn't mean that you should pointedly ignore me!

Actually, now that I get a better look at it, I don't think that's Everest.

Typical Nav: using the where I've been principle, rather than the where I want to go one.

Hans tried not to stare and mused: What's with Gerhardt and all that leather all the time? And his insistence on naming the aircraft the Enola Gay?

If only the wing-mirrors were bigger... flying this thing in reverse would be a lot easier...!

No! Take your time and look a bit more closely... if that was a Mark 9B, he'd only be firing 4 cannons at us and not 8...!
