Excellent picture. Thanks for posting. The Cosford museum looks like a well
maintained collection. Any more photographs?


Hi Charles,

I'm glad you like it. That's a real "mists of time" job as I last
visited there in August 2008, which was when I took that picture.

I did publish my pictures shortly afterwards.

Given changing times and a better camera than I could even have dreamt
of then, I think that another visit is in order!

Watch this space.

Outstanding! I love the high resolution pictures when available. There is
something about being able to count rivets and examine the construction which
gives me a thrill!

Remember reading that Germany was having a hard time getting test
pilots to fly the -163. It got to the point where thepilots had a
choice: fly it or go to the eastern Front.

If the peroxide tank hadn't been cleaned properly, the plane became
a bomb. The other fuel had the habit of desolving skin if it
touched the skin.

(Me-163 photo)

My dad drove C-47s for the USAAF in Europe in the latter days of WWII.
One of the stories he told me was of helping disassemble a Komet found
on an abandoned Luftwaffe base and bringing it back to England. Wonder
if this might be it...

They also once rescued a puppy - seems it wasn't keen on flying; he
said flying a C-47 with a puppy cowering behind the rudder pedals was
"interesting" All ended well.
