    Ta152 is quite right - it is a photo of the CAF's ill-fated Casa 2-111, a licence-built Heinkel with RR Merlins.

    I believe another one of these is to be restored to static condition at Duxford.

    I still go with ME110, the wing may look larger due to perspective..?

    But hey, Im a tank man! ;)

    I can only make out a single rudder on the picture so I am leaning toward a Ju-88. Me-110, and Do-17 have twin rudders, and He-111 has a thicker wing. I wonder if the "K" on the wing is a squadron code or just an aircraft code.

    Erich is never around when you need him. :rolleyes:

    Close; it's the Commemerative Air Force and, yes, however you interpret the last full paragraph on this page, the name change was partly due to PC BS.

    Here's a 303rd BG Fort with a visitor...

    Good question... I really don't recall, unfortunately. It's been sitting on my PC for a long time and I only recently 're-discovered' it.

    That's because you didn't get the full URL:

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/blackwolf3945/ETO%20Club/Aircraft%20General%20Posting/109attacksB-17.jpg

    By the way, you won't find the original online source of the image that way; not in my case, that is. Unlike a good majority of the folks who post images on forums, I don't hotlink. I host...


    Here's a very well-known shot of a few Beaufighters workin' over some axis shipping...

    AH, that explains it.

    I am a hoster myself.

    That is a real cool pic. Not unlike

    Though this is a Blenheim going down after being hit by either the mast or debri.
