Thankyou one and all.
I have since had a good close up look at the truck and people near it!
Sorry, I did not see the 2008 thread.
It would appear that somebody has done a CGI based on a much smaller aircraft.
Anyway thanks again for all the URLs, fascinating stuff………….Digger
But that ‘much smaller aircraft’ was a GIANT in its day….
The Kalinin K-7, built in 1933, had a span of 173 ft (53m), had seven M-34F engines and a takeoff weight with max bombload of 42.4t.
It crashed on its ninth flight – vibration in the tailbooms caused structural breakup…
