On The Deck

[Glider]

That last shot of the Beaufighters shows what the German Navy had to endure.

That plane was just a brute, great pics!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Amazing pictures!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

WOW! A good load of photos Chris, thanks for sharing!

 

[Wayne Little]

Excellent!

Nice! That ship with the Coastal Command Liberators is the German cruiser Nurnburg after the German surrender; she ultimately went to Russia.

 

[Njaco]

Yup, if you look there are 2 Libs escorting her.

 

[Airframes]

Three - one's the camera ship.
I presume she was outbound from Copenhagen harbour.

 

[Njaco]

The caption read that they were escorts - that was all. Pretty cool. Didn't know they used Coastal Command like that.

 

[Airframes]

Probably just in case she tried to make a run for it, and using Libs due to their range and payload? She'd been in Copenhagen, certainly at the end of March, so possibly heading up the Baltic.

[davparlr]

[Park]

That's low, the prop must be just inches from the ground ! I bet the pilot did not intend to get that low ?

[Capt. Vick]

Damn!

The prop is about four or five feet from the ground, in line with the joint in the concrete taxi way.
