OK. So, moving on from your penultimate post, does anyone know the correct Latin for "potato"? Solanum tuberculosum seems a bit clumsy. Also, I would be interested to know the Latin for chips, crisps and bacon-flavoured cheezy wotsits.

All the best,

John.

Damn!

And I thought this was the "Panzerschlachtflieger-continuation-thread" !

Now it turns out to be the "Kartoffelverwandlungsargumentehass-continuation-thread", ...ARGH! :mad:

Anyway, maybe this is still useful...in the oncoming discussion... ;)

...looks (and sounds) to me that the Ju87G fires 5 shots (bursts?) in the first and 3 shots (bursts?) in the second attack-run...?

- The film shows eight attack runs (one against two targets) of the "Kanonenvögel" against soviet shipping...
