The X-38 was based on the X-24 project. Thats why they are so alike.

However, the X-38 was unmanned and incorporated new technology in computing and materials.

The Japanese took a serious pounding towards the end and most material was utterly destroyed. The remaining was used as last effort weapons. Everything that could fly, was used untill it fell out of the sky.

1. As you say: the pacific might still turn up a few perls.

2. So the Americans did get a ki46-2. Is anything known about its end?

Great to see another spit returning to the air. You just can’t have too many.

AFAIK technical writers often traced the lines on photographs, so details were easier to see and the picture would look better when printed in books/manuals.

I would be very surprised if its not the same photo. As JDK writes, too many details exactly identical.

Thanks for clearing that up.

AFAIK the Jug had a normal type stick (on all pictures i can remember seeing).

However, its very possible that they made a spade grip model.

Again AFAIK the Havard “trigger” was off-set to the left, not centered like this.

The Cosford Dinah is a ki 46-III. I think Oz Rb Fan wants the ki 46-II on the list.

I was about to caption the bomb instruction image, but my girlfriend is Irish and i would get into trouble…….

They call it a Birmingham on the other picture as well:

“A view showing a Birmingham two-seater training plane at the Baldonnel airport.”
