Me too – and it proved to be correct on an aborted take-off at Frankfurt a few years ago – a lot of people hit their heads and/or knees on the seats in front, but not me! (Mind you, I am small enough to be dwarf-like). When fully applied aircraft brakes are REALLY powerful!

Melvyn, perhaps like me you are suffering from alcohol-induced insomnia!

Don’t be shy, Scouse, show us yer picture(s)!

Join me in the naughty boy corner, wildcat!

I assume it’s dayglo on the 748.
Poor camera = poor quality!

Just checked through my fully illustrated “Fighters of the USAF” and there is nothing exactly like this, for example the P-64 fin is triangular and more like that of the T-6. I agree with Mr McKay.
By the way, only six P-64s were built, for export to Siam, but were confiscated by the US Army, armament removed and placed in service as trainers at Luke Field, Arizona.

Here we are, Putnam’s “British Naval Aircraft since 1912” page 145:
“By the end of 1941 Swordfish were taking ASV radar on operations, and on the night of 21 December 1941 a Swordfish so equipped from 812 Sqn based at Gibraltar, sank the first U-boat ever destroyed by an aircraft at night.”

If you read the story as told in my link above, the Soviet actions were totally reprehensible and designed to achieve subsequent political control of Poland, without regard to the brave efforts of the Poles, whom the Russians could virtually watch being destroyed on the other side of the Vistula river. No wonder the Polish people hate the Russians, after the Molotov pact which divided their country at the start of the war and this absolute failure to help them near the end of the war. As we all know, the result was the total destruction of Warsaw and the end of Polish self-government for the next 40 years.
