Just kidding of course, I'm the proud servant of four cats. Though, while they literally have every colour covered from white to black, none of them are actually pink and that I would like to see.

Cheers and Regards

Don't want to spoil the fun you guys are having with Googly, but I thought I would get it back on track here for a minute. There is an excellent site with all kinds of great information on WWII aircraft MG's and cannon here... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/ ... un-in.html
There is some really useful information in the gun tables here... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/ ... un-pe.html for anyone who would like to see comparative performance of the aircraft MG's and cannon of the major combatant nations in WWII. It may come as a surprise to many people, but the Soviets had some of the most effective aircraft guns of any nation.
