Big mistake

Those are some great pictures. Man, what a way to treat 'em!
At least that Lanc is getting a fitting home. Thanks for the link.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i can't beleive it, a couple in England own a actual lancaster cockpit with original fittings but now they have to sell it (didn't say why) and the only serious bid they've had is from a german company, they want to blow it up for a film.............

theres a a good chunk of a mock lancaster in this museum, cockpit, and fusalge, it was used in a movie. A lancs cockpit isnt very big, the whole lancaster inside is pretty small and crude. I wouldnt want to be one of the crew in a lancaster.

I wouldnt want to be in any bomber. Fighter on the other hand...

 

[Viper]

true that... a B-17 isnt bad inside though, and it has lots of guns. What fighter would you want to be in?

 

[cheddar cheese]

P-38, Or maybe FW-190D-9

Are there any B-26 Marauders left? I haven't heard about any anywhere

Yes there is one in South Florida and I'm not sure but I think there is one in Seattle. If there are two they are both flyable. Sorry I can't be more definitive I saw them in two seperate documentarys just recently and about the same time I heard that one of the places had monetary problems so it could be one that got a new owner.

I'd go with a P-38 too.

 

[cheddar cheese]

The L model though, of course

 

[Viper]

id go with a P-51-h or a later variant spit.

there is one in alaska that crashed over the alaska highway. IT wasnt recovred until 1972 and what there was left of it wasnt pretty the whole nose was smashed off no engines ect... they restored it to flying condition.

Personally I'd go for a tempest for the power (engine and cannons)

 

[cheddar cheese]

I wouldnt mind having a go in a Stuka

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

oh sure, ignore the fact that they want TO BLOW IT UP!!!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nobody cares lanc

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[mosquitoman]

[Viper]
