Then GDL,

I’m guessing it was a photo flight from China by XX Bg B-24 this was use to mape targets for the first B-29 raids.

The Flight took place in Oct of 44 using a Long range F-9 photo bird.

So how did I do?

Andy,

If you can hold off I’m going to be talking with Mr.Weeks about set up a sit down with him for my book and I’ll see if I can get some pics for you.

Oh Yes he owns the plane I think it might be in the main hanger at FoF.

PNG not the …………………

This has been going on for ages in PNG – see over on the WIX forum for several carbon copy cases.

Elliot,

Yes there has been stuff like this happen in PNG, but also remember that alot of the stuff that has come out start out with the right idea IE get the paperwork then , pay the right fees. Then along the way the VERY CORUPT GOVERMENT steps in and say well you know if you wan to have that plane then its going to COST you X-Amount to recover it then you have to have my Brother move it then my wifes Brother has to load it on to the Boat.

Or well we really don’t want you Westerns taken are History so you can’t have it three weeks later you read or hera that the plane you were haven a go at was cut up and scrap, so much much for preservain history.

Don’t get me wrong folks what this couple did was wrong but please don’t try to compare what goes on down in PNG or Russia to ongoing recovery operations in Europe.

Cheers Crazymainer
