ID help
Help !! Have become a bit stuck on ID'ing this kite. Methinks it *might* be a Tupolev SB from the 1939/40 Russian - Finnish Winter War. I'm also puzzled by what appears to be a small open 'compartment' in front of the main cockpit. The image appears to depict an a/c dump or perhaps an airfield which has been captured. Any idea, chaps. Thanks ~~ Dingo
