Default Re: Aircraft pics

Just one of those little bits of information I learned over the years.

By the way, the British jet bomber used in "Thunderball" was the Avro Vulcan.

As for the name Vindicator, the real Vindicator was a US Navy late 1930s-early WWII single-engined dive-bomber similar in appearance to the Douglas SBD. The Vindicator saw use at Midway in June 1942 but was already obsolete.
