I can’t remember her name,but I’m certain there was a female Chief Pilot on the Duke of Brabant B25 in the mid-90’s.

I’m curious as to who that could be! I was technical crew on that aircraft in ’93/’94 so I ought to know about that I guess :p

Regarding the Oil leaks, it must be a common problem with the Wright Cyclones, as I vividly recall the Swiss Connie leaking oil at Duxford last year.

Septic, the only time a radial isn’t leaking oil is when it’s out of oil! 😮 When you need to shut an engine down because of an oil leak, it is because it is leaking significantly more than the other three.

Great photos!

Mark12: The Dutch version would probably read ‘De slag om Engeland’.

So, what was the H-3130?

1. A Compaq iPaq PDA

2. A liquid cooled H-type engine from Pratt & Whitney which was under development, meant for the McDonnell XP-67.

Anybody care to guess which answer is the one Melvyn was looking for :rolleyes:

That folding coffee table (sorry, plotting table) makes it naval and American to me. I remember seeing something like that in a Dauntless cockpit, but I guess it was a feature common to a few naval types.

Just checked, and it isn’t a Dauntless, so over to more learned forum members now!

By the way, that’s negative thinking an Avenger in the Aviodrome or Soesterberg. It must be an Avenger in BOTH the Aviodrome and Soesterberg and a flying one at Gilze-Rijen( they all have Spitfires so what is keeping them from doing the deal) and one in front of my house (or in the garden).

I’ll go for an airworthy one at Lelystad please (killer version, never much liked those big radomes). That way we don’t have to lock it up in a museum and I’m guessing more people will get to see it compared to one based at Gilze-Rijen.

You can park the spares ship in your garden then Roger! 😀

No, one’s big and orange, the other’s not quite as big and camouflaged.

Silly suggestion by me, I know. I had just never heard of that rumour. Awaiting Coert’s update now.
