gruffy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) Morning peeps! Can anyone explain What German muti- coloured Lozenge is made of and is it Irish linen British Biplanes use? x Edited November 23, 2008 by gruffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blimp Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) yes gruffy old bean , german fabic was made of linen , but it wasn't as good as the irish matierial . flax didn't grow too well the german climate , so they had to thicken it up , thus increasing the weight . the british empire was built on textiles , they had the knowhow and the raw matierial on tap . - by the way , there's a thread (sorry) going on here - theaerodrome.com/forum/ - they are trying to resolve , once and for all the dfferent types and colours . and they are availiabe as downloads for anyone that fancies a go with a printer . just go to 'models' then scroll down to 'lozenge test for all ' Edited November 24, 2008 by blimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidad Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 As mentioned already, The Aerodrome is the best site for WWI - the guys there know everything there is to know. Watch out for the occasional "spat" that develops between the contributors on some tiny detail of WWI trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
