1918 01 30 SE5 McCudden victories 45 and 46 - Mark Postlethwaite

On 30 January 1918 - a bright winter's morning - No 56 Sqn ace Capt James McCudden took off alone at 0945 hrs. The previous day the engine of his SE 5a had been fitted with high compression pistons, and McCudden hoped that they would sufficiently increase the power of his Hispano-Suiza 8B motor to enable him to catch and engage the enemy's high-flying. Maybach-powered, Rumpler Cs. After two unsuccessful engagements involving a Hannover C over Bullecourt and five Albatros scouts south of Vendhuille. McCudden saw five more German fighters climbing for height above Anneux. Determined as ever to follow his own dictum 'to destroy as many as possible of the enemy at the least risk and casualties to one's own side', the veteran ace waited until the aircraft had reached 14,000 ft before using a 5000-ft height advantage to dive on them; 'Down I went, and very quickly got behind the leader, into whom I fired a burst at very close range. He at once went down vertically, with pieces of three-ply wood falling off his fuselage. and he was seen to strike the ground by our "Archie" gunners. I hadn't time to watch him, as I was fighting four more scouts now and had my attention fully occupied. However, I got into position behind a Plalz, and after a short burst from the good old Vickers he went down in a spiral dive and crashed also.' The remaining three enemy scouts, in McCudden's own words 'now evinced signs of alarm'. He fired at another Albatros. which spun away, but was then attacked by a second machine from behind. McCudden quickly reversed the positions. got onto the tail of the Albatros and opened fire. but after only a short burst both guns stopped - his Lewis gun was out of ammunition, and the the belt of his Vickers had broken. McCudden now felt 'awfully brave'·, and realising the remaining Albatros and Plalz were 'awfully dud', stayed to fight them, chasing the scouts south of Cambrai before heading home. The leader of the formation. Vfw Adam Barth of Jasta 10. flying Albatros D V 4565/17 was killed, whilst the pilot of the Plalz- McCudden's second victory of the day, and his 46th overall - survived the crash

With missions like these it's always best to be one with the shadows!

Take aim with your new camouflage weapons skins as you hide amongst the foliage in these top quality Ghillie suits.

And now you can survive amongst your stealthy partners as you battle it out on the brand new survival map 'Amongst the rubble'

Take aim soldiers and I'll see you on the battle fields!!!!!

Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5 

Sporting estate cars are very much in vogue on 21st century European roads, with Audi, BMW, and Mercedes all marketing high performance cars you can fit a wardrobe in. But back in 1968 the Reliant Scimitar GTE created the genre by combining a sporting chassis and drivetrain with an Ogle Design body that incorporated a large load area behind the two front seats.Ford’s Capri 3-litre provided the powertrain, although Reliant opted to locate the rear axle properly with four trailing arms and a Watt’s Linkage, rather than relying on cart springs like the donor car. Coupled with a four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox the Essex V6 leant the new model impressive performance, and its looks gained admirers from all quarters, including, famously, Princess Anne, who owned several examples.A 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of nearly 120mph made Scimitar owners amongst the fastest antiques dealers in the land, and that glass fibre bodywork resisted the British climate far better than the steel used on most cars of the period.The GTE was an instant hit and soon Reliant were making four for every booted GT they built.

1917 04 23 SE5 Ball vs Rumpler - Graham Turner

While No. 56 Squadron was equipped with S.E.5s, Britain’s top ace, flight commander Captain Albert Ball (with 30 aerial victories, mostly in a Nieuport), was sceptical about the new machine and was given permission to continue tofly his Nieuport 23 on lone patrols. On 23 April 1917, No. 56 Squadron began patrols with the S.E.5s. Because his Nieuport had been damaged in an early-morning encounter, Ball took up an S.E.5 (no. A4850) at 1130hrs and soonran into a flight of Albatros D.IIIs. He downed one and managed to break contact with the rest using the S.E.5’s superior speed. While returning to his airfield at 1230hrs, Ball encountered a lone Albatros C.III observation planefrom Flieger Abt 7 near the front lines north of Cambrai. In a diving attack Captain Ball put 40 rounds into the German machine, disabling it and wounding the observer. With a smoking engine, the German aircraft dived to the ground and managed to land. The German pilot and observer survived. Captain Ball now saw the worth of the S.E.5. Not only did the two machine guns give him extra firepower, but the speed advantage of the S.E.5 gave the pilot the initiative to initiate or break contact with enemy aircraft. Captain Ball would go on to shoot down 11 more German aircraft before his death in combat in May 1917.
