fam43 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Most of the german MK6 got Martin Baker ejectionseats for zero-zero escape when the role of the sabre changed from dayfighter to fighterbomber. sandokan and Model_Monkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well I promised to do the rest tonight. Now it's 18:57 and here we go. This is the best I could do of the inner cockpit because we weren't allowed to climb on the jet. But in September I'll be back at Berlin and maybe I can talk them into allowing us. sandokan and Model_Monkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The Orenda 14 of the Mk 6 making it the fastest and best climbing of all sabres. No wonder the canadians won every fightercontest in europe during the sabre age. Even F-100s had to fight for their lives when challenging it over the Rhinevalley of germany. sandokan and Model_Monkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 At last I have a question. There is a halfring protuding from the right side of the fuselage filled with some rubberlike compound. Seems this is common to all sabres. Anyone has a hint? For now that's all. If this topic lives long enough maybe I can get some more information in autum.

junkers88a1 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 well--i have serached high and low and there is only one explination for this item as its not on any other F-86. it must be a "hook" made for either having the Aircraft hanging from a celing on display or to tie it down outside as gateguard or something like that.. its the only thing i can come up with on this item and i have searched every book, picture and almost sabre alive i could find..and i have only seen it on this one..and also spoken with several and they all say the same..it must be a mod for a tiedown, hanging or gateguard..

fam43 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Junkers JU..., This item is found on every German Canadairsabre MK 6. It's only on the starboardside and much to weak for a hook. Can it be that it is a pushin ring for whatever reason? In September I'm back in Berlin Gatow where several Sabres are parked ( think 5 or six). A Mk 5 in the Museum and a Mk6 with Martinbaker seat in the restorationshop. Will try to get some more pics. Maybe there is someone around of the Luftwaffe who knows something.
