Re: A most curious He 100 photo
The landing gear and triangular aft cockpit window were what tipped me off to it being an He 100. I don't have the new book on the type, so I don't know if this modification was covered in it or not... at first I thought it might have been another RZ65 test bed, but you can just make out the outline of an opened flap at the rear of this intake assembly, which definitely indicates this is a radiator. There are several photos taken in this series as noted by another poster- can anyone identify the insignia worn by the foreign officers? Could this be a Romanian delegation visiting a test site?
I saved a number of other photos from what might have been the same visit a few weeks ago, including a Bf 109G-2 with remarkable Stab markings from JFS 4... I'll try to get those posted so we can perhaps get a better idea of when and where these interesting photos were taken.
Thanks for all the input so far-
Lynn
