Aircraft Interior Skill Test

[Randy]

clue: looking forward (obvious?)

More (helpful) clues to follow if need be.

[Randy]

More help: German colors . . . and gun mounts on the oversize forward most frame (aft of bulkhead) and ammo cans with belt drives under them. Note the vertical rectangular fuselage . . .


We still use stringers shaped like the ones here but we flip them over today because of the longterm corrosion problems with enclosed structural areas, as you might imagine.

Salutations Randy

I'll take a punt It is British and it may be called the Handley Page Hampden, then again i may be wrong.

Henschel 129?

[Randy]

This is the left side ammo loading port for the gun bay seen above.





Note the gun mounts inside to the right angled steeply up to the left.


Side note . . . all the steel used in German planes that I've personally seen is primed this greenish gray color seen on the gun mounts and ammo boxes. I'm not sure what color it is (officially)

[Randy]

There are two fuselage fuel tank bays, this is the forward one looking aft with the bladder removed.





(I get a kick out of deciphering (sometimes just trying to read - lol) the metal ID stenciling . . . )

[Randy]

This is the aft tank looking aft. (Note the hoist point/fitting)





Note the gun ports just behind the tank. The bulkhead aft of this tank must, then, be the one in the far end of our first pic.

That's the right-side up stabilizer (lots of dihedral, elevator removed) to the right in pic, right side ammo door to left in pic.

[Randy]

This is the main weapon station (removed). Note the steel parts and placard.





Another view, aft.

[Randy]

This will be a comment free post (except for this one) (I do believe that's a Spit on the tool box . . . oh, and that one . . .)





Oh, well, I tried! Those are canopy location sockets in tha sill and in the extreme right forground a latch hook.
