Blimey, a turboprop Meteor, a five engined B-17, and a Grumman Wildcat with floats! What a fascinating site that is.

Thanks Bigred ! CHEERS

Vicker's C type canard bomber looks interesting, not sure about the effective coverage the side gun position could have been with the big wing behind and the large foreplanes in view.

Nice shot of the prototype Mk4 Meteor at Moreton Valance - the second Mk4 had the odd sheetmetaled canopy that Teddy Pedder flew the following year
I would guess Spring 1946 on the photo :)

Has anyone looked at the Black Sun section of this site? It is very strange indeed. I cannot decide whether it is anti-semitic, anti-establishment , pro-german, or just obsessional. Whatever the motivation, it is strong stuff

Anyone who gets that far wants to be.

That 10 engine Lanc is (I am pretty sure) a flight of fantasy, the painting is not even up to professional level! The Vickers Windsor would have done the job, at that actually got into serious testing, before the end of the war!
