Nice pics...and I never noticed that the upper turret position is faired over on their B-25

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Good one Gary, and way to go Jim. I think I remembered your name correct Capt. Vic. Hope so any way.

 

[Airframes]

Well I never !
I don't think I've ever seen those 'gills' before, and I've studied the B-25 details closely over the years, for models and paintings.

Same here Terry. Very odd thing to miss, out in the open like that. Well you learn something new every day.

 

[GrauGeist]

well, how often do we get to see one of these crates from the top like that?

And of course, seeing all the photos Gary has taken during his forays, it appears he's all over the tops of these ships like a demented spider monkey...

Sorry fella's, it'd be rude not to take pics while up there checking fuel and topping up oil and whatnot. 'Side's which, I only take 'em so's you get to see what I see !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Guess

 

[Geedee]

Looks like a Shin Meiwa US-1A

 

[Capt. Vick]

Looks, in this case, are deceiving Gary.

 

[Geedee]

I knew that !

Chinese SH-5 amphibous craft. It needs a man on the wing to stop it falling over after landing apparently !

 

[Capt. Vick]

You are correct sir! The Harbin SH-5!

 

[Geedee]

You are correct sir! The Harbin SH-5!

Take it away Jim. Found out I'm going to be away for a while with work so my sparse updates will be even sparserererer !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Anyone wanna take over? I'm a bit tapped for quiz material.

 

[norab]

let's try this

 

[Airframes]

Flying wing thingy - don't know the number/name.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You mean the N-9M Terry?

 

[GrauGeist]

Flying wing thingy - don't know the number/name.

If you're referring to the XB-35, it had intakes on the top of the cowling and was equipped with contra-rotating props

 

[Capt. Vick]

I think you need to think along the lines of Cessna maybe....

 

[wuzak]

I was going to guess Saunders Roe Princess, but I think that is wrong.

 

[GrauGeist]

It almost looks like a view to starboard from the cockpit of the Vought V-173 "flying flapjack"
