Although your Green light isn't on at the moment, I'm glad to see that you're literally "back in circulation"

I was wondering if your favourite aircraft had given you an early form of RSI, in this case "repetitive SQUEEZE Injury" from the frequent use of your Anti-G trousers?

Hi TC.

Nah mate, but in the late 60s /early 70s the girls of Suffolk could easily cause it......

Repetitive Strain Injury is wot they got!

Looks to me like a Kawasaki Ki-45 in USAAF markings.
Ahh..the bloodhound tracked me down! Your control Mel.



"back in circulation"
Clever mate!

"repetitive SQUEEZE Injury"
Interesting theory but I suspect if true there would be millions of people with brachial artery problems as a result of repetitive BP recordings. We should do research and write a paper for the Lancet?

in the late 60s /early 70

Hi Mel! Pushing an ovoid peg in a square hole? Looks like it's not big enough to cover the hole. Some sort of radar cover? Not sure why it would swing to the side like that, must be a lot of tension on the bolt/hinge. Standard equipment for this plane?

Twin (?) engined all-metal tail-dragging British aircraft. Can't make out the bottom of the photo, very dark.

Yes to the first two but not British. As to your other question it is not standard equipment.

Thanks for clues. I'll start investigating immediately. Come along Watson, there's no time to lose and bring the hounds!

Sincerely,

RR You have hit the nail on it's head.. You see I said it would be easy. It is a C47 that was operated by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in the 1950s.

You have control.
