Could have been worse, much worse.
Pilot (Thom) was not even singed and PM sounds like could be a great museum candidate.
100 years old and still going.
Greatest generation indeed.
I have been trying to contact Andy too, busy man.
amazing little color film!
That is a great piece of news. Thanks!
This page on the foundation site is even better!
Sounds much like what is happening in Santa Monica, CA.
1 engine, as RU article says, more likely an Il-2.
Or Yak, Mig, or something else.
I apologize if I posted the photo with the exhibits, but it was just to show the correspondence of the place.
now we no longer have any interest in research on the case of p40, after all planned steps (information at the embassy cairo, Egyptian authorities, on-site surveys and technical experts, doctors, lawyers, universities etc.) and have only got discredited and obstacles to our business which strangely ended only after the theft of the bones, we just have to get back to our work and always follow up with continued interest next what’s new.
But do you know where is the container that has disappeared from Alamein?
It is very unfortunate and shameful you are getting blamed for simply finding a P-40 and its unfortunate pilot!
It seems you where very respectful and careful about what you found.
You are very honorable.
I hope your work will prosper.
Jest to bardzo niefortunne i karygodne są coraz winić tylko znalezienie P-40 i jego niefortunne pilotem!
Wydaje się, gdzie bardzo szacunkiem i uważać na to, co można znaleźć.
Jesteś bardzo honorowy.
Mam nadzieję, że twoja praca będzie prosperować.
Believe it or not, we STILL unable to find anything about those flame dampeners!
Lots of pictures and stories of those involved with TA-B are pouring in, but nothing on the stack.
Anyone take a second look?
Thank you abadonna and aircraft clocks for your data.
Flight magazine on October 3, 1940 has an article worth reading and I include an extract:
“Actual trajectories can be calculated, but it is a very involved mathematical process. If the air resistance of a bomb at a certain speed is known (and this can be determined in the wind tunnel), its resistance at all other speeds can be calculated. Variation of air density with height is known, so at all points of its fall, the two forces acting on the bomb, the attraction of the earth and the air resistance, are known, and its speed and path can be worked out—but not by ordinary mathematics. It may involve adopting an exponential law for the variation of density using Siacsi’s tables for the air-resistance function and integrating the equation of motion by picone’s method.”
A bit beyond me!
Rocket science, but in reverse! :p
Excellent subject to bring up! One may hear the whistle from bombs that fell earlier, but not the one that falls on you!

great posting!
What scanning equipment you use?
TY btw
The other RAF museum at Cosford is very do-able as a day trip by train from London, just over two hours each way with one change, and Cosford station is walking distance from the museum.
Park Inn has special rates if you tell them you are guest at Cosford. 🙂
