There's this : FuG 240 Berlin - Wikipedia, no mention of existing examples. Perhaps looking for an example of the U.S. copy - AN/APS-3 would be worthwhile. Bill

Saw this 262 for the first time when I moved my young family to Claremont in around '77, '78. It was painted overall light grey with the markings shown in the previous photo. Next time I saw it was at the Chino facility in the late 80's I 'm guessing. Then it had it's green over light blue paint...

Factfndr54, Thank you VERY Much for that information. I wondered about that cap on top of the support structure and never thought that it was what actually held it all up ! So the weight was mainly on that cap and 2 top bearings and the other needle bearing down the central shaft handled the...

Hi Jarwha, Just saw your January post with the Wurzburg radar parts pictures and I was wondering if you could answer a question I have ? You show the central post that supports the radar and allows it to rotate, what type of bearings are used to support all that weight ? Thanks ! Regards, Bill

I'm thinking that's a Dornier 217 with the 109. Regards, Bill

Many thanks from me too !!! Bill

Thanks Denniss for the good link. I tried everything I could think of but could not get any information related to my link to work even though, when I got the address from the Properties menu and checked it against the address from your link, they were exactly the same. Go figure. Bill

That was the link I gave you earlier, http://www.cdvandt.org/German%20airb...adar%20def.pdf Just a short way of typing it. Here's another site I just found: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2005/06/stuff_eng_benshahar_ju88.html It shows a series of JU88 plastic models with radar...

You are very welcome! I have seen a diagram with at least basic measurements of the supports. 40mm comes to mind (edit: this was actually for the horizontal pole that supported the dipoles and was round, the airfoil shaped supports were 71mm deep and 33mm thick). That was the broad side of the...
