Zippy it looks like a fire detection loop to my eyes, probably for detecting an exhaust overheat, but if it is a FD loop it would be attached to a warning light and horn, not a guage, as it is really on on/off type of switch, but I have never seen on mounted on a surface exposed to the external...

I agree, but I am assuming it is a gate gaurdian mounted on a pole?

So you are saying that a JT3D is more fuel effeciant than JT8D, I think I disagree with that statement by at least 20%, if you are talking about other early Jet or Turbofans let me know.

Oddly thats my wifes game.

My wife proved once again to have little faith in me, she said I could not fit the 77 Astre Formula, the 2006 Mallet Solstice, the 71 Fiat 130, and her 2020 Scat pack in the space designed for 3 cars. Success! With room to get around all 3 cars, Bonus.

Actually the caption on that picture is incorrect, pictured is not a Ki-34 but a Ki-56 ( or Type LO transport) a Licensed Copy of the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra, but powered by Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Ha-26-I 14 cylinder engines, allied code name Thelma.

I took the Fiat 130 Coupe to declass the Local Italian cars and Coffee at the Cafe Moto in Ferndale MI. A very classy bunch of cars for a random Saturday Morning in October. We even let a French car join in. It located in an Ex Aerospace Manufacturing Building, that made componants for many...

No that is a picture of a YB-40 escort fighter, as already stated it could not keep formation with standard B-17's after they dropped thier bomb loads, so unsuccessful, and abandoned. They were modified F models, and about the only feature that worked out was the Chin turret that was...

The FW-200 can make those spec's. As can the one off Piaggio P.23R.

I also read that they used P-40's as bomber interceptors some where in SE Asia https://inchhighguy.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/the-japanese-warhawks-captured-p-40s-in-japanese-service/ https://j-aircraft.com/captured/capturedby/p40warhawk/captured_p40.htm

I didn't say it met the original specification, just that what what it was designed for, the specification as far as I can tell was 36/35 for a transatlantic Mail Plane, I can't seem to find out much more about it. And I agree that it probably won't extent the range by that amout.
