Here, I've got vague memories of reading about an L-4 fitted with some sort of rocket launcher under each wing... anyone else recall that? Mind you, it might have been in one of those "War" comics everybody had when we were kids...!

Glenn - I'm not trying to give you ideas here, mate!

Think you are right Tulio, seem to remember that the Airfix Storch had a machine gun protuding from the rear transparency - made that kit when I was about twelve... memory seems to be getting better

For me the definition of "warbird" is one that can attack - an AC-130 fits the bill, a straight C-130 doesn't, though that said, didn't the USAF drop some of those earthquake bombs out the back of a C-130 in Afghanistan?

Cheers
