Where do you find these! Brilliant, I'll do that when I get back. Cheers Dave

Dave!
That is absolute GOLD!
As Ben asked, where did you find it?
And talk about a coincidence, look what I read the other day:

I found it here: https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/topics/technical.56/

Back in 2016 I made a display board for Tangmere based in this booklet.


Whenever I see anyone standing in front of it trying to do the calculations, I have great fun reminding them that they had to be done at altitude while you and your opponent's aeroplanes were manoeuvring relative to each other and while still somehow keeping an eye open for other aircraft which would be trying to shoot you down! Mind-blowing but, somehow, they managed it.

Or did they? Reading some accounts by successful fighter pilots, their technique was to get as close to the enemy as possible, centre the ball then let fly with everything they had. Only the crack shots seem to worry about proper deflection shooting.

Whatever method they used, I've nothing but admiration for them.

How long ago was that, Dave?
I've been there and seen a reference to it, but whereas most of their documents are straight out PDFs, and download as soon as you look at them, that seems to be off somewhere on an insecure site that my system refuses to open
I was interested in what else might be in that archive.

Couple of weeks ago Mike. I'd downloaded it on my phone, not tried on the pc.
