Nice pictures!
The picture of b-24 lady B good looks great.
Sadly now very little remains of the aircraft.
-Memphis belle
-The War Lover
I also thought that tora tora tora is also on dvd 😮
Your welcome Chriss i’m a modelbuilder also but never I never made a mk22.
Some other pictures not wartime but a mk22




Don’t know if the type what you needed is there but i have a link:
http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/ click on walkarounds then props and you’ll find lot’s of spitfire pictures 😉
Good luck building it.
(X)B-24N
It’s a b-24n the first version of the single tail b-24.
If you look carefully you’ll see the nose.
I couldn’t find a better picture.
I remember seeing footage of the making of memphis belle on the French tv.
But i couldn’t remember footage of the crash of b-17g F-BEEA i do have pictures of it’s demise 🙁 .
If anyone is interested i can post this pictures.
Does someone now what happened to the remains of the french b-17?
You’re right old planes do look good just like old cars they got the magic touch :p
Maybe over 50 years people will say the same thing about an f-18?
😉
B-17
I think the grey looks a bit light I might by wrong not a coastal command expert. 😉

Nice pictures can’t wait to go there i love the paint scheme on the dc-4:)
The B-17 of course
Why because it’s beautifull every time i look at one I think what a beauty:p

The engines were not recovered because all material to do it was returned to thule AFB.
And the aircraft where they hauled the heavy equipment with was out of action at Thule AFB.
They returned with a twin otter.
And that plane can’t carry engines.
There’s a documantary made of the recovery
It’s worth buying it with great footage of the b-29 startups etc.
It was 270 miles from the nearest airbase a distance that’s too far and to expensive also note that recovery team got a low budget.
The wrecked b-29 is still visable as it lies in 2 meters of deep water.
Another recovery team is coming back to the site to recover the wrecked items.
Like the valuable engines props etc tailplane and wings.
The aircraft crashed and was jacked on his wheels.
Because it had made a wheels up landing.
Picture of the aircraft in 1947
It’s the same aircraft before being recovered.
The recovery crew pulled it out of the lake lowered the wheels.
And new engines and props (hamilton standard) where put on.
Also the tires where changed and the rudders where recovered.


the recovery was one by the Air Pirates.
And the restoration was done by Darryl Greenmayer and his team.
It’s very sad that it happened.
The b-29 also claimed the life of one of the recovery crew.
Who worked himself literaly to death!
