Gabe's creation
This is my Greek combat ship. The thing on the front was used for ramming the enemy and sinking them. Of course there were a lot more oars, but I couldn't fit that many toothpicks on the cork :)!

The Flying Porcupine
This plane is a RAF Sunderland Mark III. One just like this fought off eight German Ju 88 pilots in 1943. Shot down three, and the rest were badly damaged. It was then respectfully nicknamed Stachelschwein [porcupine] by the Germans. It was used to rescue torpedoed ship crews, a rubber raft was kept inflated so it could be ready in a minutes notice. The British were very proud of their "FlyingBoat." It was used for 21 years of service, more than any other RAF plane at that time.
