Does the submission item have to be forcibly taken over/captured? How about cases like the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when lots of equipment ended up in foreign (and not always "friendly" teritory)?

Yes. The Soviet dissolution is an edge case: there were negotiations about the equipment. This was more like selling secondhand equipment than a forcible takeover.

Thank you for clarification!

The time has come to open the "Finished Builds" section, please

.

And I wonder why the "General Discussion" thread has been closed?

TomZ · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2020, 03:49:25 am »

Both unlocked.

Not sure why the discussion one was locked.

It figures that Dizzy is the first one to want to post a finished build

So what else is new?

Ooops apologies on both accounts

I should have opened the Finished Builds and the closing of the General Discussion thread may well have been down to my misbehaving mouse

STOP THE PRESS!

What about interned aircraft? As an example, Portugal operated a Sunderland that was interned after alighting there, fuel exhausted after fighting its way through a fierce storm.

I have a cunning plan... Or two...

I would say that interned aircraft classify as captured

That might work well for Sweden and Switzerland, too, several aircraft landed there in WWII and occasionally pressed into service.

Ireland too.

Sweden used one or more interned B-17 as airliner(s) at the end of the war. A "civilian" capture is contemplated in the GB?

Since you're one of the moderators I will take that as a YES!
