What a photo, first time i have ever seen this aircraft outfitted with 5" HVAR pylons. At first I thought "HVARs on an RAF aircraft? Never heard of that before!" A little research has revealed one photo showing what does appear to be an HVAR rack on a Liberator though. Most of the references I've found only talk about RPs, which I though referred to the British 3" weapon, but I could be wrong. Mentions of a Type C rocket pack don't clarify what type of rocket. Some online sites say the Liberator had rocket rails under the wings, but I think that's incorrect. As far as I can tell, they were mounted either on the fuselage sides (as in the photo) or as retractable units in the bomb bay. FL297/G was actually a Liberator III, although some sites say wrongly a Mark V, or even a Mark VI. On Fri, 28 Sep 2012 00:36:15 -0400, Joseph Testagrose wrote: -- Peter |
