That low he left a trail in the grass:eek::eek:
i thought it might be round there …do you know why it is there???
All 787’s are grounded.
Drat, avion ancien. Beat me to it:D
PA-24-400 Comanche?
Looks like Wildcats and Avengers.
It won’t be landing much, if you have wind at L/B it’s usually a cross wind. Then you have the fog issue. Prone to snow due to the elevation. Not an idea site for an airport!
Ha. Having a laugh at these police. look at the size of that radio! HUGE. And these weapons. I’m sure they worked quite well but … ancient 🙂
I think the guns are US made M1 carbines, they were still in use in Vietnam, if indeed they are M1’s.
Fascinating pctures, thanks for sharing Duggy.
I’m guessing that the two ‘bladders’ over the wings were a ditching bouyancy aid?
According to the picture title they are.

Good point about the expected targets. Apparently they were single barrel 38s though, not twos or fours.
At that time of the war the four barrels were the norm. I stand to be corrected.
They wouldn’t have been in red oxide if it was an exhaust in use.
Must have been painted recently.

Could he be building a SIM?
Most airliners have a skid on the tail to minimise damage should it have a tail strike. Unless it was stalling I doubt it would crash and burn.
It’s probable that 88’s were defending the dams against high level attacks as per the previous post. The 88’s was able to depress low enough to fire across the water, this ability also made them a feared anti tank gun.
To defend against low level attacks they would have used 20mm Flakvierling 38’s, four 20mm cannons mounted together ‘vierling’ meaning four. Not sure if the shells exploded if they didn’t come into contact with a target though.
