Bachem Natter photos

Interesting pics, thanks for sharing.
You’ve got to admit the Luftwaffe had some very couragous pilots in those dark days, were the Natters any good operationally, ie any ‘kills’ etc?

Who’s fancies buying one of the new ones, then??

I was about to mention those!

I can think of a few people I’d like to strap into one, then light the blue touch paper and stand well back! 😀

I’m not sure the pilot had an awful lot of choice in the matter!

They never got past test flying, so another of those ‘What if’ questions..

The “One eyed son of the Manse” by any chance??

…Funny you should say that… 😀

During WWII several pilots on both sides of the conflict broke the sound barrier before Chuck Yeager, and 2 or 3 of them even lived to tell about it. All of them did so in a dive however, not in level flight.

From memory, I think it only flew with a pilot once, and he was killed

Just looked through those photos – that bloody thing creeps me out!

I wonder what the Americans evaluation was on this aircraft. Picture 15 shows the M58-Transporter being driven through Silver Hill, USA on 6 April 1945.
