    Keep in mind that PENGI is screaming at his target near the speed of sound.

    That camera just has a really fast shutter speed.

    This one only having a 125lb warhead of course, more than enough to blow that Commie spy away though. The King Pengi on the other hand, has a 300lb shaped-charge warhead and can effectively be used against ships.

    I wasn't exactly thinking kamikaze penguins, I was thinking of the amount of cannon that NCO would be hiding under its wings...

    I'm sure that Russian spy is thinking "I wish I'd chosen to do a tour in Afghanistan..." :lol:

    all mine, from chap 2nd. right, sent to me when he was there in late 50's/ 60's. Was one of my early trainees, whale bone arch/john bisco were in port Stanley.
    Incidentally, the Governer at the time had a stuffed King Penguin in his embassy that he used to kick down the stairs because he did not like the Island posting!!!
