My FJ parachute down firing their MG34’s from the hip

As in all the best Commando comics...

Sadly, not. They got all their killing kit from cannisters.

They will in my Bury game. They know that if cannisters were dropped in Lancashire, the local inhabitants would have made off with them before the FJ got anywhere near them

Need to surround the weapons with cannisters ful of cheap booze.

I hear they don't even have the decency to prop them up on bricks, unlike the Scousers.

Nope.

Good to see the post is still working - I had too many of them, having discovered that I’d already painted a bunch of Foundry canisters.
Working up a little scenario where pistol armed Jerries have to get to their canisters before the pike and shotgun armed locals do so.

Could Ju 52's reach Fife?

On a one way trip they could! Rudolf Hess flew his Bf110 there.Given the massed forced landings of Ju52's in Holland and Crete, where the aim seems to have been simply getting down, with the ability to take off again a distant second, such a high risk approach seems possible for the right target. FWIW Wiki gives them a range of 1000km.
