Tks John I stand corrected.

The placard on the plane at the museum said “used in the rocketeer movie” and I remember somewhere along when he acquired the R2 Mr Delmar bird that someone had mentioned it was the original movie bird.

Seeing the R2 being flown at 90 degree and hold altitude….is a sight to behold!!!…Well as much side fuselage surface as wing surface….why not!!!

Wouldn’t witnessing any flying odd / old bird(s) make us happy!!!!????

At 50 +…. will take what flies in front of me and (will try to) appreciate it to what it is…!!!

Cheers…..

I know…restore it to WW2 conditions….

But still it had quite a nice modified long nose for so many years.

What happened to the original nose section? Cut the extension…or just do a new nose?

Anyone knows?????

Nose seems a bit different than your picture. Mind you it’s not the same variant at all than the one in your picture.
