Best Bomber of WW2 (continued)

evangilder · Mar 14, 2005

I'd love to, but I don't think there are any here in the states.

mosquitoman · Mar 14, 2005

I think Kermit Weeks has one but I'm not that sure

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 14, 2005

I think these are the ones we were talking about earlier Even.

evangilder · Mar 14, 2005

Yes, I do remember that. I don't recall seeing the beer bottle though.

I think there is only one flying Sunderland, owned by RyanAir, but im not sure.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 14, 2005

Well if you are talking about he Short Sunderland flying boats there are actually a few survivors still in flying condition. This link shows you were they are at.

Some great pictures of the B-24
For al of you interested that plane is owned by the collings foundation and is being repainted to honor the 8th airforce and the ETO as "Witchcraft".
It lived through 130 bomb missions. If you visit the site: http://www.collingsfoundation.org/tour_b-24j.htm you can read more about the bomber.

I am looking forward to seeing this new paint job and have enjoyed reading about the bomber it is honoring and all the others of the ETO and 8th airforce. D)

mosquitoman · Mar 14, 2005

The one I've seen is at Duxford, apart from the Kermit Weeks one I don't know of any others

Yeah I did not think it would stay All American much longer. The crew was saying something about it.

i think CC's right, the ryan air example is the only one still left flying...........

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 15, 2005

I do not know if the other ones fly but they are in flying condition and could fly.

the lancaster kicks ass · Mar 15, 2005

well there are no sunderlands registered as able to fly on UK registers.............

mosquitoman · Mar 15, 2005

Were's the RyanAir one stationed?

the lancaster kicks ass · Mar 15, 2005

not in the UK i'm pretty sure of that.........

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 15, 2005

Isn't Ryan Air in Ireland?

MP-Willow · Mar 15, 2005

DerAdlerIstGelandet: It was "All American" for two years I think, then"Dragon and Tails" for a while. I like the Idea of changing the paint to honor different bombers and crews.

As for the Sunderland Kermit's is flying, but I am not shure of others. His colection is quit nice.

evangilder · Mar 15, 2005

Willow, the B-24 has both markings, one on each side. Left side is All American, right side is Dragon and it's Tail. I wonder if the new scheme will be 2 different ones again, or all one scheme.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 15, 2005

Back in 1995 when I saw them it was All American on one side and on the other I cant remember the name. I have a picture of it somewhere but it was a pin up girl sitting on the world and holding a Schlitz Beer.

evangilder · Mar 15, 2005

Now that makes sense, Adler, the side with the pinup is now the Dragon holding the topless girl in it's tail. At least it is for now!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 15, 2005

I am going to have to find that pic.
