fire

Seems there's a BA plane on fire now in LAS: via Twitter/@Bradley_Hampton

On the 19th of September, 1962, the plane seen here was coming in for a landing after what seemed like a successful test run. A fire caused the plane to lose control, and the pilot had just enough time to eject to safety.

Anyone know anything about this? Came across it on FB. Hopefully its nothing too serious.

Anyone aware of what type of fire control directors would be on Naval vessels throughout the war? Or a good source for this info? I'm most interested in the Pacific, but any info would be helpful. I'm thinking that Japanese capital ship had the type 95 director only on the 3x25mm mounts...

Somewhere I read--can't remember where--that a Black Widow's belly-pod cannons could be deflected by the pilot a quarter of a degree left, right, up or down (which minuscule amount would, of course, have a substantial effect on where the fire went a hundred or more yards out from the airplane)...
