From cover art to nose art.
Liberator B.VI (modified for special duties) BZ965 GR-S of No. 1586 (Polish) Flight at Brindisi in 1944.
BTW, can anyone tell what is the weapon in the emblem? Is it a bomb? a torpedo?
AT-3 – a Polish designed and built aeroplane used in Britain.
How about a British designed and built aeroplane used in Poland?
And a wartime air-to-air of Harvards (in Canada).
That’s the Czechoslovak Spitfire Wing at Exeter, probably during mid-/late 1942. In the opening scene you can see both Czechoslovak and Polish flags on the mast, because the Polish night fighter squadron, No. 307, was also based at Exeter. You can see its black Beaufighters for a moment about 0:42 of Part II.
In part I you can see a Spitfire coded NN-A taxiing (9:02-06). That’s AR501, the Shuttleworth Spit. You can also see No. 310 Sqn board with aircraft letters and pilots’ names (4:23-26) with ‘A’ by the name of Popelka – that is also AR501.
Fashion clothes?
That hat with wheels is nothing compared to this pair of pants!
Right, let’s have something to the same tune.
On a similar note.
Well, with music, anyway.
Another indoor scene with a tail.
There’s different ways of moving kites around airfields. You can tow, or you can push.
Interesting combination of wheeled vehicles and aeronautical power plants. Like this one.
Squadron badges can be applied on memorials, but they can also be applied on aircraft.
Tunnel?
“Harry” tunnel memorial at Sagan.
105 Squadron RAF followed by a USAF F-105.
307 Squadron Boulton-Paul Defiant
Another trio: Potez XXV light bombers from the 4th Air Regiment based at Torun, Poland in 1920s-1930s.
Note the unit badge, showing an elephant.
When I look at the “KEEP OFF” sign it reminds me of another example of maintenance notes stencilled on wings.
