Hi BlueRobin,

Nice to hear that because if Liberty Bell and The Canadian Lanc show up next
year at least they will be able to juice-up by means of making a call to someone in the know.

Regards, JJ.

And if either of these aircraft make it across the pond in 2008 then I’ll be elected the new President of the United States:eek:

Wasn’t the original instrument panel ‘safe’ then ? Maybe a refreshing change could be a Spanish scheme instead of prentending to be something it isn’t!

Not really David the panel that was in this plane was a hodge podge of instruments and the bus panels were a major mess. All they did was make it a very clean panel with everything infront of the pilot.

first thing on the list (I hope): change that UGLY cheap instrument panel and repaint the cockpit!

First it wasn’t “DONE CHEAP” it was done for Saftey which comes first before appearance don’t you agree.

A little Birdy tells me that there might be a deal in the works for both aircraft and they will be heading back across the Pond. The Aircraft that is Marked as the North Atlantic Airways Bird is the one that will be kept in Airworthy Condition while the other will be used for spares depending on if they can’t get one of the Firebirds for a spare.

Well Richard, and Pogno,

Yea its the XF15C-1 I really never consider it a twin since it doesn’t have two engines hanging off the wing:D

Pogno, Your Correct its the inner Bombay Door of a Brewster it is one of the spares that came from the rest of the stuff that David T got.

Richard the location is Larry Webster backyard Larry has this and a few other parts from the Brewster’s. If you look behind me the shed contains all sort of neat stuff in their.

If you ever want to go up and visit Larry let me know I can arrange it for you.

Hi Pagan,

The Bu# I came up with is what I got from The Naval History Center when I stop by and did a quick check on this crash. Don’t forget that all of the PB4Y-1 all were original B-24D that were re-asign to the US Navy so they had both an US Army Air Corp Serial # and a US Navy Bu#. NHC has the crash records from this one I look at them rather quickly since I was looking for some information on another aircraft.

If any one wish I could do a search again after the first of the year and get the accident records and reports.

Rob,

It could be a Bear what was the Alt. that it appeared to be at. Also could be USAF Black Ops aircraft that have been report to be flying the Middle East. But it sure does look like some sort of rocket.

Never say never for a Ju 88 off the UK coast.

Always worth going where others avoid.

Hi Ross,

So is this the one in the THAMES or is this another one, it looks in very good condition.

Hi Elliot,

Question with so many different types that have crash in the THAMES why hasn’t there been any type of recovery’s attempt of any of the aircraft. I would think something like a JU88 would be something worth trying to raise and preserve.

Oh and sorry if this comes across naive from me, I really don’t know the make up of the THAMES.

Is the first item a weapon bay door, although I dont know from which aircraft. Not Avenger,Helldiver,Guardian as far as I can see.

The second I know, but not due to knowledge of aircraft, it is a twin though. So I am not saying yet.

Richard

Richard,

Well you have name almost all the Torpedo Types that were operated by the USN now since this is mainely a English Forum this Bombbay door came from a type used by both the USN and the English.

Now for the second nope its not a twin think US Naval Aircraft.

Yes, it looks very much like a Catalina bow turret to me too.

Yes it is off a PBY
