Hi all
in The Battle of Britain there is a shot of a formation of Heinkels flying towards the camera (yes I know there were a lot of those) but I think the one in question is just before the hangar goes up at Duxford and just before Keneth More is talking to Maggie Harvey about gas masks etc.
The question I have is what is the pod like item slung under the fuselage of the lead aircraft? Looks like a mini drop tank. Is it a camera pod for use in further filming?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I thought I’d start an aircraft type thread as I’m sick of Douglas Bader.
The answer to that one is obvious there were two (at least) DB’s
All the best

Target Towing Gear.
Hi all
sorry to bump this back up to the top but has anyone got any further information on this equpment.
A picture of a Spanish Heinkel on the ground fitted with this gear would be wonderful.
Many thanks
