yes it was..the thing that worries me is they are saying it was a two seat jet…if i recall the only two seat venom is the sea venom….and none are flying…i hope no one else was injured or worse.

great to hear from you again SB….and congrats on your Yak 52 flight,may you get many more in….the Gooney flight must have been cool as well….as to how long they will fly there are still quite a few earning their keep all over the world,i doubt i’ll be around when the las one retires.

looking at those pics it almost looks like he’s trying to get the gear back up just before he lands in the field…the right lag facing seems to be unlocked

collings foundation were planing to do an F105 around the time the mirage news came out….but the USAF cut the engine mounts on all the possible candidates if i recall and that put an end to any chance of it happening.

the only problem is the diameter of the R2600 one Beaufighter was modified to take R2600’s and had much extended nacelle’s…now according to WIKI…the R2800 is a smaller diameter to the herc……..might have to do more checking.

Some historians refer to ‘zombie myths’ – assertions that are embedded enough in the culture that they remain there, even if there is clear proof, widely available, that they are wrong.

pretty much got it in one….there are still people out there that claim the zero was a copy of an inferior American plane(either the vought V-143 or Howard Hughes claimed the Hughes H1).
i have been trying to straighten people out about the props…..maybe it will sink in one day.

i must admit the only pics i have found of RUK were the ones shown and a couple of it straight out of RAAF service as VH-UWB….still wearing it’s basic RAAF target tug scheme…seems odd there are no other pics of her as VH-UWB.

just o put a spanner in the works P3351 was built as a MK1 but was upgraded to a MK11a and i believe flies in that configuration even though she’s in the markings she wore as a MK1…..not sure about the others.
