“To leak the tank”
“To tip over the boiler”
oh: why is it that after drinking beer one soon has to “leak the tank” ? – Because the fluid doesn’t have to change color……..

Hmm – nice piece !
Fergie most probably relates to the name of the original owner and must have been his nickname. Could have been first name Fergal or last name Ferguson or similar.
I also haven’t found any 453rd BG B-24 with the nickname “Fergie” so far.
Would be interesting to set the story behind this jacket.

I’d say Letov S.328

I concur with JDK’s advise:
junk all slides that are sub-standard – they “might” be good for aircraft recognition training, but unless one ‘average’ slide is the only picture of a particular aircraft you have – get rid of it.
I did that and ended up with masses of empty yellow plastic boxes – and I keep the surviving slides in them, properly labelled on top and sides. They reside in a special archival boxes with access from the side, i.e. It still gives me a headache sometimes when in need of a particular shot, but I have seen many solutionswith friends, i.e. for examples heavy metal chests of drawers for technical drawings converted to hold the slides, but none of these solutions were very convincing (or again were using too much space).
Oh – and to make some space – please send me your spare slides of P-51’s – I promise to treat them nicely….. 😀

I hope you clobbered it with your .50 Browning ?

(great shot BTW !)
it shows the HA 1109 M1L prototype, the first Merlin engined Buchon, which went into production as HA 1112 M1L – first four-bladed example.
Spanish markings are correct.
