Finally from the RFC archives come snaps of our v.own Fozzer, circa Jan. 1917 Antwerp.....
Hooning around in the morning air

Suddenly he spots that most dangerous of enemies, an unguarded bottle of plonk :o

Navigating by pubs

Off into the sunset

According to Pauls former CO "Fozzer would frequently shoot down a dozen aircraft with a single burst, but we had to divide the number of aircraft by the number of bottles he'd consumed with his gourmet lunch to get realistic statistics" ;D

...took a while to get used to the spinning rotary engine, but quick left-hand rolls catch the Hun out every time...!
..and always remember to give it a boot-full of rudder pedal on take off.. ;).... 8)...!

Off to the Mess now for a couple of beers with the lads and show them the bullet holes in the canvas, and then paint some more aeroplanes kills on the fuslague... ;)...!

Never a dull moment... ;D...!

Tally-ho chaps, wizard prang, and all that sort of thing... 8)...!

Paul.

No more flailing rotary engines.
An oily, but reliable Gypsy Major engine now in a Tiger Moth.
...just as draughty tho'... ::)...!

What a load of cobblers.

It's pretty obvious those original shots were of Fozzer's SON
