This will not end well.

Sad news.

I wonder if we’ll get the old “never lost a bomber” chestnut?

Hi folks; The kamakazi plane i remember was made of
wood plus the uc after take off fell away to insure
a one way trip to heaven.The Roumanian fighters where
the first pics of them i’ve seen,must have been a bother
to taxi.The Horten and Arado surperb.:cool:

The u/c was indeed designed to fall away, but not because the authorities doubted the determination of the special attack volunteers. It’s just that there was a rubber shortage on, you see…

Edit – It’s a Ki-115. Wiki says the u/c thing was to save weight. Not what the Japanese TV said in a documentary I saw.

And Wormtail from Harry Potter?

Surely one of the Blackburn offerings?

Peter:

Are you over on Bert Hartmann’s board? I’m certain they discussed those photos over there a couple of years back.

One would need to ensure it also had fully-feathering props, a cross-feed for the fuel tanks (shakes head) and radiators re-done a la Mossie, with additional fuel tanks taking up the space where the original rads were. All of the above the might have meant a fairly big fuselage re-design, maybe longer nose and tail?
