Re: RAF and dive-bombing.

SMF144.

Firstly, let's agree there is no room for a pissing match. We discuss only to search after facts we can all agree on - that is by you, Juha, hopefully Chris Thomas, and anyone else interested, and myself.

Secondly, let's define terms before deciding whether 2TAF implemented dive-bombing or not.

For me, an aircraft can be defined as dive-bombing when all of the following are present, with the aircraft:
1. equipped with dive brakes
2. diving from a minimum of 5,000ft
3. releasing its bomb/s at no higher than 1,500ft
4. diving at an angle steeper than 75 degrees.

Do you, and others, agree with this definition?

Tony
