Nice pics paul. Not sure, but the one of the He111 might be at Aalborg, Denmark. Wonder what the ceremony in the hangar is? Very interesting shot of some formal occassion.

Many thanks Snautzer01, I was just reading about these the other day. Kinda clever if you ask me.

Another quick question; in post #27 and pic #4 where they are attaching the RATO pods..is that a Me323 Gigant?
I thought it was when i first saw but the landing gear that was visible seemd off; I thought they had a half dozen or more wheels in close proximity.

Sorry Derek, just noticed your question. It's the Me 321 (Me 323 without the engines). They only had 2 main wheels.


Very cool post Snautzer01!

Thanks for that answer VB; So that would mean this Me 321 likely had two (or more?) medium bombers towing it down the strip .........and since that wasn't tricky enough someone decided to attach liquid fueled rockets to the wings????

I have a lot of respect for German engineering but this sounds more like an invention of Wile E Coyote......can you see the wooden crates with "ACME Rockets" written on the side in that picture?
Thanks
Derek

German engineers had a lot of humour. Thee fighter planes or two bombers with a kind of rato. Must have been great fun to start.

Well many thanks for letting us use it nacehtjager. I am not sure if its one I posted or some one else but if you point out which one it is I can add proper credit. I wonder if people would be interested if I could find some more on this old post as well?

All the best Paul

The truck in the lower right with the 109 fuselage. Has this been identified? Looks like a Albion or Morris to me.

IMHO neither the Albion nor Morris but soviet ZIS-5 or ZIS-5V with the wooden driver's cabin.
