Indeed you’ll only see Sally B in the first three minutes of the film, the film is still worth seeing though. As a bonus there is a scene further on in the film when supplies are dropped and a shot of a B-25 is used for that sequence. Not much of an aviation score, but there are other reasons for seeing movies, right? 😉 :rolleyes:
A very rough guess of mine but it looks a bit like a GE J47 or some variation thereof. It is no JT3, JT8 or any British type as far as I can tell.

It uses a Russian engine, could it be the Shvetsov ASh-82?
Why is the engine pylon a different shape on the port outer, looking through my literature it seems to be the same type of pylon found on an RC-135, the pictures of John Revolting’s, bless him, a/c, don’t have the same view, so I can’t tell whether there is a similarity.
Was a spare fitting found at Mildenhall and would it have any affects on it’s flight characteristics.
If you do a search on Airliners.net there are plenty of pictures of JT’s 707 (put ‘n707jt’ in the keywords searchbox for example). This one shows the pylon configuration: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1098620/L/
The explanation with this image: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0581574/L/ confirms the supercharger (or lack thereof) being the reason.
PPRuNe has some messages tracking her to Dublin and then departing again for Tenerife, so it’s safe to say that she’s ‘on the move’.

This seems very odd to me. Within two years an aircraft for which there are definite plans goes from airworthy to scrap metal?? It is clear that the project failed, but was scrapping really the only option for this aircraft :confused:
Sad photos, that’s one thing. But I’m confused now… I seem to recall that a Convair moved to Scandinavia a few years ago to be used as a historic airliner. I’m hoping that this is not the same aircraft??? Or is my memory playing tricks on me again?
To me it looks like someone used up all his leftover bits to create something new. I’d be surprised if it turns out to be a proper representation of something (previously) airworthy.
Indeed the aircraft looks radial-engined, compare the size of the engine to the size of the pilot though…. (assuming a single seat aircraft) not much power there!
I thought this website might have some info about it, but the images just confirm the situation, nothing more: http://www.tricatus.co.uk/AA32304.htm
Same here :p
I also love the Danish Cessna (remarkably that such an enormous prop fits on such a small engine.)
Hmmm, I’d like to see a photo of that thing in flight before I believe it actually exists!
Two pages and no-one has done justice to the unforgettable Mr. Burnelli yet?
He who designed such beauties as the Loadmaster and this great looking beast?
Here’s a full list: http://www.aircrash.org/burnelli/chrono1.htm
If you start on the mainpage of his site you’ll see just how much info is there: http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/
The ‘English version’ link only goes to a section about Operation Overlord, not everything is in English unfortunately. You could always try Babelfish of course: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr
If you’ve got any specific words or phrases that you want translated, just put them here and I’ll have a go (or one of the other ‘cloggies’ on this forum I guess 😉 ).
