Nope the above is rubbish, due to me forgetting how to read!! 😮

After looking at the info we have again, we have written confirmation of 2 places & events where Whirlwind P6994 was at the same time. Eglin Field for a Fighter Conference and Anacostia for her Navy Evaluation… 😉

I’m afraid both Wright Field and Patuxent River are mere assumptions on our part at the moment, which until we get info to prove otherwise are back on the shelf again… 🙁

The next bit is if the USAAF made an evaluation report, what might they call it, was there a standard form for aircraft evaluation?

As you can probably guess I’m running blind here, so bear with me… 😮

Stu…

…and 16-23 October 1944 NAS Patuxent River, MD

Now I remember bought a book about that and although very interesting reading it did not mention anything about the Whirly but did have the evaluation reports at the rear, for Mosquito and Spitfire, unfortunately I appear to have mislaid it long since… :confused:

Sorry I haven’t replied sooner, thank you for posting this for me, one thing though…

“tilt and shift functions“

How does that work?

Will a virtual camera with the same format/focal length be able to make the same perspective corrections with tilt and shift functions produce an image of a 3D virtual cockpit that fits the original photo?

Because that is what we will need to do…

Ian…

One of the Norfolk loss reports does include several copies of the same large format cockpit photo, the cockpit having separated from the wings and rear fuselage.

😮

Cockpit photo?

Ian, you have a PM…
