Airco DH.2B Home Defence 1917

[stevehed]

Very nice and a neat back story. Often wondered why the DH2 didn't figure more prominently in Home Defence.

It's weird isn't it? It's like the British learned about interrupter gears and then the DH.2 disappeared overnight.

Yayyyyy!! 
I'm glad you liked it old chap!
I'm currently working on a followup story and build that follows Dummet's flying career a bit further.

DO IT !!!!
I would be quite happy to read more of this dudes career ,,also what ever else he flew to and his impressions of those aircraft ...which means you gotta build those aircraft to match the story   
Definitely evil intent there for me saying that

I suspect that's exactly what happened. It made aircraft with forward firing guns and large engines much more practical.

Nice, the night green paint scheme suits her well. 

[Glenn Gilbertson]

A great idea excellently modelled, a brilliant backstory and all very plausible - well done!  
I remember reading Lanoe Hawker's reminiscence that the problem with the DH.2 was that he got so cold that he almost did not care if he died or not.

Thank you very much Glenn!
I didn't know that about the DH.2 though.... perhaps a cabin heater might be an addition to the DH.2B for those long night patrols?

Having jabbed Murphy in the eye with a pointy stick, I've actually managed to finish off Sqd Ldr George Dummet's follow up story and model here;
