They were quirky looking things. I've even seen a picture of one disguised as a Heinkel He111

A liberty taken to fix your picture link Eric...

[Eric Mc]

The picture showed fine on my computer in my original post.

They don't allow hot linking. It's probably cached in your browser. Neither of you has a working pic for me.

How's this?

[JeremyH5]

Yes, I can now see that, Eric. Looks good.

I can just picture a few of those and a squadron of Percival Proctors (Stukas) attacking RAF airfields.

That's quite a lot of damage

Some interesting footage of Californian fire fighting on the Blancolirio channel. First drop is shown at about 12.5 minutes into the video.

You can really appreciate how low these guys go by looking at the aircraft's shadow as it moves across the landscape -

I'm a big fan of The History Guy.

I know the story of the XB-70 quite well but THG makes even familiar stories interesting.

I do not want to be accidentally underneath a water bomber even if the red retardant looks cool - https://youtu.be/ONdSoiI4zIA?t=81

Can trace it's ancestry back to the B29 and still in use today.

[Eric Mc]

Another aircraft that traces its history back to the B-29 is the Tupolev Tu-95 Bear.

I love the paint job Airbus have given their similarly designed Baluga, the way it creeps in to shot in this video is fantastc

Never knew the U2 landed on a carrier! Hair raising landing for sure!
