Could anyone point me in the right direction to find out info on 269 Squadron. I am mainly interested in their spell at Abbotsinch?

Thanks Joe for this detailed post! It seems quite clear – there were more SB-29 than sixteen…

HP-385 – a registration from Panama after 1952?
Another one to add to the list is
44-84123 B-29-65-BA SB-29
Scorpion89, please could you add your source? Thanks in advance. Martin
Another source mentions 123 as a KB-29P-65-BA

I can’t recognize a jet between the outer port engine and the wing tank as you can clearly see on the photo.

It’s interesting to read…

edit: 49-368, Boeing B-50D-125-BO Superfortress, converted to KB-50 tanker, later to KB-50J. To MASDC. Declared excess Jun 26, 1964
From a friend at the LAAHS forum – he asked Mr. Mercadal, a man working by Embraer.
‘…ese avión fue utilizado y es utilizado todavía para acompañamiento de aeronaves en vuelos experimentales (prototipos)…’
rough translation
‘…that airplane was still used and is used for support of airships in experimental flights (prototypes)…’
