Default V1

Really interesting pics, thanks Luke!

Another small correction - the V1 was powered by a pulse jet, not a rocket. I've interviewed several Spitfire, Mosquito and Typhoon pilots who intercepted these and either shot them down or toppled the gyros by carefully lifting a wing under theirs.
In their logbooks they listed the trips as 'anti-diver' patrols.
