Donward Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I had meant to link this earlier.

Belesarius Posted January 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Heh, this just popped up on my FB feed, and I'm reading about that deployment. Cool! USS Essex (CV 9) underway during her first Korean War deployment, circa August 1951-March 1952. Two F2H-2 Banshees of Fighter Squadron 172 (VF-172) are flying by in the foreground, preparing to land. Nearest plane is Bureau # 124954. The other is probably Bu # 124969.

Bronezhilet Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Aborted landing on HMS Venerable Thought it was a Fairey Battle at first, but a quick google tells me that it's a Fairey Barracuda. Which I should have known since the Battle isn't even carrier operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well, the Battle was also long gone by the time the BPF was a thing. Right manufacturer, though!I've taken a liking to the Barracuda, but I've probably just been playing Atlantic Fleet too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well, the Battle was also long gone by the time the BPF was a thing. Right manufacturer, though! I've taken a liking to the Barracuda, but I've probably just been playing Atlantic Fleet too much All of the Fairey failplanes (Fulmar, Albacore, Barracuda, Firefly, Spearfish and Gannet) have a certain appeal to them. Edit: renaming the planes to fit the theme gets you Failmar, Failcore, Failacuda, Failfish and Failnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
