I would personally prefer that incidents are reported on a factual basis. Later on, when the official report becomes available, personnal opinion might improve the knowledge. (See the Hanna’s fatal accident). I personnally consider that in the latter case, readers’opinion of local pilots quoted in a well-known aviation magazine help us to understand what really happened to an experienced pilot.

This is my opinion and I would not blame anybody to contradict me.

By the way, I am not a pilot but a Loss Adjuster.

Martin, why RB-51. R might be for Racing but B is obviously not for bomber.

Agree with David Burke, in twenty years, the lack of radar tower might be misleading in identifying the location for future researchers. In this case, you might post a beautiful cleaned, large sized piece of art together with the untouched original.

France, Russia and Middle East use SECAM which gives better colour than PAL. There are two families of SECAM (Europe and Russia) and the improved MESECAM for the Middle East. To view the colour you need a video recorder reading SECAM with built in transcoder which allows to view colour on a PAL or alternatively a SECAM video recorder and a SECAM or a dual system monitor. You never loose the sound track when playing SECAM on a PAL video recorder.

The loss of sound track occurs with the bilingual system (two-tone or zweitone in German) used in Germany. Only video recorder built for Germany can read both tracks as against a stereo soundtrack one soundtrack is halved whereas the remaining one is used for the time code in PAL system.If you play a tape recorded in bilingual on a stereo video recorder you get both languages mixed.

There are two different image frequencies used for the US and japanese NTSC. Further the number of frames per second is not same. Finally, in NTSC system, the frequency of the grid (60Hz) is used for the synchronization whereas on the other system, there is a top for the synchro.

NTSC is the worst system in the world and is widely known as Never Twice the same Color.

Let’s go PAL digital.

Jochen,

Where are the attachments?

Beautiful photographs

Jochen, to the best of my knowledge, there is only one flyiing B-29 in the world (CAF)
