Yup, you're not mistaken, Aaron, they are canted outwards. This was because during design on the prototypes, the fitting of power operated gun turrets altered the aircraft's C of G, which was cured by introducing a 4.5 degree sweepback on the wing and repositioning the hull step. The engines were not repositioned, which had little effect on the aircraft's performance.

Thank you for the info nuuumann, much appreciated sir.

Hey Snautzer,

Thanks for continuing to find these shots. Here are a couple from the same photographer, same day, same hill - different vehicles...

Cheers,

Great shots! Usually don't see topside shots except for factory and testing pixs.
