'D333" thanks for the updated pix of old NBM, looks the same as when I last flew her, in fact looks cleaner!
It was the dog of the two (NBM & ABM), steered like a drunken wench 'till the airspeed came alive. That cabin door was a mongrel also, needed a step & was bloody dangerous in the wet.
It had turbo'd donks if I recall (manually controlled waste gates I think)but of course they where only for ballast:-)
The pix of NBM at MB there showed it had not been there long as the grass was short around it, sat there for yonks!
