Do you have any othe rare/interesting P.108 pics? Its long been my favourite plane and ive got a fair amount of pictures of them, but maybe you have some that I missed...

Suprisingly theres actually some video footage of P.108s. I was watching something about bombers on the military channel and they had about 2 minutes of footage of the crews putting their gear on, climbing into the aircraft, and taxiing onto the runway. I wish I had a vcr so I could've recorded it.

I found these only today, searching for images of Piaggio and Isotta Fraschini engines.
Here are the links, with some other images:

Thats beacause its actually a Piaggio P.50 II, Not a P.108...

Hehe...From that angle It looks quite a lot like a Lancaster...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it looks absolutely nothing like a lanc

 

[Gnomey]

it looks absolutely nothing like a lanc

Agreed Lanc, it looks nothing like a Lancaster from that view. Don't see how you can see that CC

 

[Dogwalker]

Uhmmm...

nice pic, that hangar in the background is the BBMF's hangar at the edge of RAF Conigsby.............

and they look nothing alike!

 

[plan_D]

Agreed. They look completely different. Only a moron would think they look alike ... well, CC does - so that explains a lot.

I know it doesnt, I was seeing if lanc would agree with me, thus pretty much saying th Lancaster was ugly. But he didnt, which shows that heas a liar What an excuse for being wrong, get in....
