As you might have suspected from my last post, I soon decided to bodge the Albatros into a two-seater. This took the form of moving the top wing further forward and mounting it lower. The original cockpit became the observer’s location while a new cockpit for the pilot was created from the aperture for the MG mounts. What could go wrong? While Albatros two-seaters (C-type = armed two-seaters in German aviation parlance of the time) did exist, mine wasn’t going to conform to a particular type so I really-christened it ‘the Albadross’ which nicely sums up its status in life. Of course, ideally a C-type would be longer of fuselage and broader of wingspan but you can’t have everything. Just tell yourself it’s further away....

I trust that the 2 seats are positioned to enable social distancing?

Sensible aircrew are keeping well away from this horror but the spares box has been scoured for er, 'volunteers'....
As we used to say in the Navy, a volunteer is just someone who misunderstood the question.
Looks great Tim- a return to WW1 beckons?
Cheers,

I have plans (or at least vague ideas) for several more Great War games.
