It's possible. I have to admit, I never even saw that. There is just
so much to see in that museum. Gives me an excuse to go back, though.On Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:42:51 -0000, "Mike the Brewer" wrote: "Clayton Langstaff" wrote in message .. .

The 'cookie' is beneath the bomb bay.
Mike the Brewer means the larger cylinder off to the left of the picture, and that indeed is a bouncing bomb ( or replica thereof ) as used on on the dams mission. Regards Paul |

The device sitting patiently on the ordinance dolley directly under the Lanc's bay is undoubtedly a cookie. But look to the left of the photo frame and examine the object a few feet beyond the Lanc's starboard wingtip. It's height (on its side, forsooth!) equals that of the nearby lad wearing the #10 sporting jersey.

What I think is very interresting in that picture :
You can actually see a guy under the Lancaster . I have never seen this kind of plane by myself , so it gives me a good idea of how big this plane is , thank you By the way ... Is that a FW 190D on the right ? If so , this museum is a very realistic one "Clayton Langstaff" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

That's a Fairey Firefly, also in flying condition.

The aircraft with the folded wings on the right is a Hawker Sea Fury,
British-designed carrier borne fighter. I've read that one shot down a MiG-15 over Korea, though various aviation forums dispute the claim. Regards Paul |
