Daz – I think it’s a great aircraft. Pity there’s none around now. I love all three aircraft I posted above, though this next one can’t really fit into that category. General Aircraft Hamilcar – I assume this is British, must be, I mean… just look at those lines 🙂 🙂

Blackburn Firebrand

Fisher XP-57 – looks more like Fisher Price to me!

I totally agree with you guys, most of these photos are macabre, poignant, fascinating, devastating and frightening.

I hope that none of you come away from this forum thinking I posted these as a joke or a bit of a laugh. Not at all. I did not mean any disrespect to the brave airman who were involved, and I hoped that these photos might make us all stop and think about the sacrifices made by the many thousands who died, whatever nation they were from.

I could have posted more, but honestly when I began to look at them all together and quite large on this thread, I began to feel a bit ill. Hence my last post, which says Lest We Forget.

I will be thinking about these photos and many other sacrifices made by our veterans in both wars on Friday when I’m selling red poppies for the Returned Services Association, which is an annual fundraiser for veterans done on the Friday before ANZAC Day – NZ’s day of remembrance.

And even more unusual Bell – look at the crew positions in front of the engines!!!

Great stuff guys. Here are some more unusual photos, some of these I do know what they are, but any comments are welcome.
