I was still half asleep when I read this and (not helped by the total absence of capital letters) thought it was Grizz having another rant about wargamer-animal cruelty!

No, the Bears were of the Soviet flying variety.

I was recently banned from an Air Cadet Facebook group, due to an RAF Careers post, which showed a female RAF Corporal delivering a briefing in front of a lecture-theatre screen, which featured a large photo of a Tu-95.
Apparently it wasn't appropriate to ask if the young lady knew that she had a Bear behind...

I wondered what the heck they were doing in autogyros.
Read the squadron histories - turns out they used them for radar calibration.
Not a bad way to spend the war.

Someone list all methods in order cost effectiveness, coverage and compatibility with different painting styles

There is only one undercoat: Humbrol Matt White, all else is heresy;
There is only one varnish; testors, all else is apostasy.

A safer use than the French, who used them for artillery spotting, although I'm not sure that they actually used them in action.
