The "150", developed by the team around Brunolf Baade.

That's the one!
(Another title is the OKB-1 Type 150)

Do you know Baade's next project, the "152"? Interesting story:

Do you know Baade's next project, the "152"?

Yes, I've read about it. In fact 'believe it or not', it was going to be my next one!

 

[Krabat42]

AARRRRGGGHHH! That's sad. I would have liked to see it. Well, let's wait six months and then try again When I was a boy I built a plastic model of the Il-28 testbed with the Pirna 014 engine. Long time ago...

 

[Graeme]

A Japanese company intended to manufacture this aircraft under licence, with the aim of selling it to South-East Asian air forces. It could carry wing mounted 0.30-in machine guns, two 33-gal napalm tanks, two 250-lb H.E or fragmentation bombs; up to forty 2.75-in folding-fin air rockets; four 5-in heavy rockets; or twenty 80mm Oerlikon rockets.

Fletcher FD-25D Defender for COIN operations. Designed in US. Only 12 built by Toyo of Japan.

Too good Matt, too good!

 

[Glider]

Can I throw this one into the thread. It was a visitor to the display, not part of the collection and I had to ask what it was.

 

[Graeme]

French..
SNCAC (Aerocentre) NC.854 ?

 

[Glider]

Well Done, I hadn't got a clue when I saw it.

 

[Graeme]

Well Glider, that's a fairly attractive little French civilian.
Here's a not so attractive French civilian, with a 'monowheel' and balancer wheels. Hard to believe it was built in the early sixties.

[Graeme]

Yes V2, it's been there far too long. The Bastet 01 of 1962.
(where do you get the clever smilies from?)
