I admire your persistence and sentiments Hesham.


However, all the old players have moved to a site of their own.


Please keep trying.

Nice riposte to LM. Well done evansb.

I had to remind myself of the differences between Hudson and Ventura, before choosing the Ventura.

evansb 6th Jun 2014 03:30

Yes, :ok: the unsung RCAF Lockheed GR. Mk.V Ventura to be specific. The GR. Mk.V had greater range than the PV-1, and the bomb bay was modified to carry 6 depth charges and one torpedo. The RCAF operated more Lockheed GR.Vs than Dakotas or Mitchells, or even it's stable-mate, the venerable Lockheed Hudson. Simon, (India Four Two), has control.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago, I visited the fantastic aviation museum in Edmonton and while I was there, poked around in the back and looked at the crashed Ventura that is being restored, with the intention of making it airworthy.

I hadn't appreciated how big a Ventura is. The restoration crew have a major project on their hands!

I don't have a prepared silhouette, so while I try to prepare one, in the mean time Open House.

And fast! I saw one at an airshow once in the early nineties and remember the commentator saying low down they were faster than the Jap Zero.

Not as fast...

Well, Heikkis fans - just found this old thread - let's blow off the cobwebs - I've just acquired a book of Heikkis silhouettes - lots of them, so I'll take the OH offered by 'heshamh' - all those years ago...
