I am trying to get hold of a beaming gadget (where’s Scotty ?) to see SUSY – but eventually I will – it’s only a matter of time

Wasn’t it designated the RB-51?
correct
great pics, Mark12 – I love these shots with chipped paint and clearly showing where modifications have been done !

although I love the sound of Merlins and Griffons, as well as Allisons and DB-605’s, IMHO nothing beats a Hispano Suiza HS 51 12Y !

Off the topic slightly, but do any of you know what ever became of #69 “Jeanie”? THAT was a beautiful aeroplane.

we also have such stories here in Switzerland . as you probably will know, we have many airfields in the mountains where more or less only a runway is visible, all hangars, maintenance facilities, etc. are within the mountains, i.e. caverns. Some of these caverns are still in active use today.
There is this story that pops up every now and then, that some of the aircraft interned in World War II were not returned or scrapped, but stored in remote or ‘sealed off’ places within such caverns. I’ve heard Bf-110G Night Fighter, Dh-98 Mosquito, Fiat G-50, and also B-17 and B-24 components. Further to that, former Swiss AF aircraft such as Bf-109’s, P-51’s, etc should also be hidden somewhere.
All this is wishful thinking – but maybe………..????????

Will they be at Legends ??? :diablo: π :rolleyes:
As a slight aside, if you were to enquire about the duration that a pistol flare remains ignited for, would that also be a Very burning question?
