Great shots! Its surprising how many were being constructed. Would be awesome to see the last surviving airframe restored and matted with engines. anyone have a copy of the test report from 1947?
...and it also mentioned that a two seat trainer was being built. Wish I could find a picture of that if it's true. I keep scanning the background of the picture on the internet for maybe a peek.
Few years back I was at the Steve Hazy Air and Space museum and took these of the Kikka was on display but was in the middle of a bunch of aircraft making it extremely hard to get photos. Possibility I might be back this summer if my son gets a job in DC this year.
