B-24 on a couple of agent drops and at the end a bombing mission.

B-23 on a agent pick up.

Very brief glimpse of a B-25.

Just watched bits of Apocalypse Now, flaming visitors !

B-52 well the tail of one anyway, Huey ,Cobra, Kiowa, F-5 .

just thinking of Frank Sinatra’s other war films..

Never so few….was it a Cessna Bobcat as a transport?

None but the brave….C-47 or DC-3 , not sure but i thought there was a commercial door on it , ages since i saw it though?

Sad news, he always could bring a smile to my face.

Rest in peace Norman, thanks for all the fun times you gave us.

An old Tread but thought this might be interesting

Would make for an interesting Recognition competition !

I wonder why the Wing Commander named the relatively efficent and survivable B-17 instead of naming one of his countries own bombers?
Would you rather go to Berlin in a Stirling or a Fortress? That says it all I think.

Neither !! A Lancaster, at night , if the Mossie wasnt available ! LoL

As has been said I reckon he (a) didnt want to knock one of his own & (b) there was more of a direct comparison between the Fort and the Mossie as regards bomb load.

As regards the He219 would it have had that much advantage over the Mossie?
