I see someone fooling around with the starboard engine...there may have been issues.

The officer in the forground has some interesting body langauge going on there, too...kinda like ass-chewin' time from the looks of it...

I think you are right.

He doesn't look overly happy that's for sure.

Good shots guys!

The Widgeon

Was the Widgeon the predecessor to the Goose?

Sunderland EK573/P of No 10 Squadron RCAF 'unsticks' after picking up three survivors from a Wellington shot down in the Bay of Biscay, 27 August 1944. Despite a heavy swell - and the knowledge that many such landing attempts had ended in disaster - Flight Lieutenant W B (Bill) Tilley executed a successful rescue. The No 172 Squadron Wellington had crashed after being hit by return fire during an attack on U-534 the previous night.

I can just hear the pilot of the last picture saying "Be a good lad and climb up on the top wing will you. There you go."

Never seen that first one before Chris. What is it?

A Blohm Voss HA-139 Nordwind....

Makes you wonder, if Blohm Voss were totally uncapable, to design a 'normal' looking aircraft!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

From what I've seen Jan, they weren't capable. Every design I've seen was oddball.

 

[Lucky13]

Woof woof!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice Jan.

There you go with those negative waves...................

I kinda like, but then I liked the second gen. Firebirds to.
