Ha ha !!!
Brilliantly amazing conception for 1944 and well built. Good bit of film work too. Wonder what ever happened to it. I thought the location was somewhere in UK, but as they are driving on the right , USA/ Europe somewhere ? Nice archive find from Jeff.

Bill T.

I think they drive on the right on US bases in the UK

just a bit off topic but that’s the first Corsair I’ve seen in camouflage, was it common?

Its fitted with 2 ACTs… but not the normal 2 ACTs that extended range A319/20/21s have.

Its a f**king disaster as the balance is all wrong leading to too much trim drag.

I’d say this route is a sure fire one for the CSeries in a few years.

I had read that the 318 wasn’t the most comfortable Aircraft to fly in

It can’t take off from LCY with full fuel the runway is too short, it does sound a nice way to get to New York, as a matter of interest Privatair were operating for various Airlines non- stop Europe to New York using low density 737-800s, don’t know if it’s ended

as far as I know they leave LCY with minimum fuel and go to Shannon where they refuel and the passengers clear US customs

neither is the Smithsonian’s collection all oddities, to say we didn’t experiment with strange Aircraft in the 50s is totally wrong

I just don’t understand why it was so American, perhaps the Telegraph picked it up from the US and ran with it,

one thing, the flying saucer was made in Canada by Avro Canada,

sadly no British Aircraft, what about Fairey, Saunders Roe, Avro and all the others that built experimental Aircraft

Hence the use of ex Luftwaffe Ju52/3Ms.

being just 1 at the time I know nothing of this, it was 1949 before I went on a trip to LAP with Dad, I’d be interested in anything on this BEA chapter

Except that sort of thing was forbidden by their president. Similar thing happened with the U2s in the early 1960s; Gary Powers blew all that by getting shot down for the CIA…

yes sorry, I had forgotten that salient fact, Eisenhower didn’t want to confront the Soviets
