PHOTO CORNER



149 Squadron in close formation. Note streamlined turret on plane in distance. This makes it WF547, one of the 2 RAF B-29s with such a turret. Note also the erased '8'(?) on WF491's tail, presumably a remnant of its US service. (Jeff Brown)


WZ966, one of 192 Squadron's ELINT Washingtons. The identities if the equipment needing the various antennae is not known - any clues? (Julian Horn)

 

Oil Leak! Maybe WF501, 90 Squadron 'N'. (Mike Davis)

 

Polishing WF556 in preparation for a flypast
- there was a lot of it too! (Mike Davis).........
