Just found this pic and had to post. Pretty cool picture. This is Fornebu airfield shortly after the Occupation in 1940.

What is unique about this pic?

[Airframes]

No bacon?
Or the inclusion of that French(?) aircraft, left of centre on the diagonal runway?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Maybe that there is a Junkers G 38 and a Ju 90...or...or...oh I don't know

You got it Captain!! The aircraft that Terry was choosing is a Junkers G.38. Two were built, one was destroyed in a prewar crash (crew survived) and the one at Fornebu was destroyed on the ground at Athens by an RAF attack in 1941. So this pic shows the only example around at that time.
