Gazzas Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 hah! Brilliant idea! Worked perfectly. I guess nobody considered underwing and under fuselage stowage at the time? And some people laugh at the drawing boards of Luftwaffe planners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 An interesting concept, even if with hindsight the reaction is "What on earth were they thinking???"

Never seen film of it before, though, thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
