    aviation wise i read a book titled Airbridge, by (iirc) Hammond Innes (sp?), i think that would make a good film,
    non aviation, When the wind blows, by James Patterson.

    Hi Starfire, from what i have heard neither type exist now, unless you count a heyford that was buried beneath a runway at (iirc) upper hayford. i’ll have a looksee on the net for interior pics for you but i think the RAF Museum will be your best bet for interior pics of these

    thanks for the pics, with your permision may i download them onto my hard drive?.

    But as a Saab driver I’m biased 😉

    Hi Firebird, another fellow Saaber here, are you in the owners club?. i have a 9-3 turbo cabrio. a 900i and a 900 base model, both three door classics, and am about to buy a 900i five door classic for a VERY reasonable amount.
    whats yours?

    thinking about this, did the B17 have the ability to carry such a heavy load? i seem to remember reading theat the B17 had a load that was roughly half that of the lanc (could be wrong though) also from some footage i have seen one of the aircraft lost by the USAF during the highball tests was i belive an A20 havoc/boston type.
    best regards.

    acording to a book i have in the loft there was also a six engined lanc B2, four bristol hercules on the wings, a dart or mamba in the nose (can’t remember which) and a jet engine (viper?) in the tail with a dorsal intake.
    hope this is usefull, if you want more info on this or any of the other testbeds give me a shout here i will dig out the book.
