What the hell was wrong with Farrier

>>85387047
he didnt really have a choice where he could or could not land his plane, ya big dummy

>>85387047
Just a dumbass I guess

>>85387047
So he should've just jumped out of his plane and killed himself?

>>85387122
How so?

>>85387047
He did it because getting caught was part of his plan

>>85387778
>>85387122
>turn the plane and land in the water and hitch a boat ride to England

>>85387047
He didn't fly so good.

>>85387047
The wrong side won

>>85388172
right because the sequence of his m8 doing that was to show that its so easy to do and definitely not super dangerous, right?

No power, no altitude.

He had literally no other choice than to keep his course and use what little altitude he had left to make the corrections he needed and the landing required to stay alive.

Were the brits too retarded to have parachutes? He didn't need to fly off like that

>>85387047
Was getting caught a part of his plan?

>>85392203
parachute technology was not anything like it was today. He was at too low of an altitude to safely deploy his parachute. Risking a water landing was also pointless.

>do an immelman to bleed off excess energy and lose altitude
>land on the super flat beach still full of british soldiers
>get the boat

that scene was just silly

Needed to have the throttle to do a last minute bit of thrust so the plane could land on its belly

Like handsome ginger did

No gas though so landing in the water has a high chance of flipping like a badly tossed javelin
Being under a plane in shallows is fucking dangerous
And that's assuming the plane doesn't shatter on the water

>>85392367
>all while manually pumping the landing gear
Yeah fucking right

>>85392485
and why not?

And it's not like it's so hard to land without the landing gear in a light fighter, especially when it's a fucking sandy beach...
