  1. Here is another one: Jari
  2. When configured as tankers, the A-7s were pretty much that, if a lot of refuelling is expected then they had extra tanks: if you want to add a buddy pod and weapons, A-6s would carry a pod and other ordnance. Jari

    Here is a belly view of 970: Jari
  5. If you check the 3:41 mark of the video above you can see the rivet pattern on the door showing where internal supports are, they look like equal spacing. There are some on the body of the pannier as well, not many but maybe enough to be TLAR - That's looks about right. Jari
  6. Here are a couple more photos with the doors open: Jari
  7. Here is another Wellesley being loaded up with some SBCs with maybe 4lb incendiaries? and small bombs in the rear, note the size of the doors: Some info here including a little bit of the bomb load: https://dingeraviation.net/wellesley/wellesley.html Jari
  8. No internal view but at the 3:25 mark of this video shows one being loaded with smallest version of SBCs with what looks like 40lb bombs, 4 in each SBC: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060007648 one view from almost below doesn't show any frame like the Wellington. Jari
  9. In case you want to go to a larger scale: Jari
  10. It was a Martin Baker MK-GRQ7A seat, from here: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Sweeping_Forward.pdf Jari
  11. Sorry for going off the topic about F-4Gs, a F-4 in Vietnam with a less than pristine paint job: a SUU-16 on a MJ-1: Jari
  12. Since a question was asked of Vietnam era Phantoms, some early F-4Cs, with Navy style inner pylons and white bottoms can be seen here: https://imodeler.com/2018/10/f-4c-cam-ranh-bay-s-vietnam/ Jari
  13. Here is a 3D 1/72 Tandem Bomb Carrier, just scale it up to 1/48: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/72-scale-sepecat-jaguar-tandem-bomb-rack-look-alike Jari
  14. Here is a list of select Tornado and Jaguar missions, the Jag missions start at pg178, no a/c ID just mission report: https://raf.mod.uk/what-we-do/centre-for-air-and-space-power-studies/aspr/apr-vol19-iss2-10-pdf/ Jari
  15. A few photos here: https://www.silverhawkauthor.com/post/canadian-warplanes-3-vickers-wellington and try here as well: https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/ just search Wellington MkII. Here is one example: Jari
  16. Here is the early seat: Jari
  17. The YF-105A had different intakes, starting about the .30sec mark of the video: https://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675068667_F-105B_Edwards-Air-Force-Base_towed-by-a-tug_B-1-bomb Jari
  18. Here is info about the RF-4B Photoflash: Jari
  19. From the 408 ORB: https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c12275/404 The load for Sortie A.2332 : https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c12275/403 has a 8,000lb HC so it had bulged bomb doors. Jari
  20. Another photo: Purposed load chart: Jari
  21. So out of the many, many thousands of bombs dropped none went off early? True a vast majority functioned properly but i'm sure there were some, plus the few accidents at airfields where bombs exploded for some reason. In the Vietnam War there were several cases of bombs going off just after release, they only way they knew about it is some of the crew were able to eject, one of the first A-6 Intruders lost was because of a bomb going off early, the crew survived and were able to tell their story. Jari
  22. Here is a load being dropped all at once: the risk being the bombs bouncing off each other and if one is sensitive enough, BOOM, right underneath the aircraft. Jari
  23. Going with a full load can be a tight fit: Jari
  24. Here is another Lancaster with a bunch of bombs: note there isn't any room behind the Cookie for 2 more bombs so 16 would be the max with the Cookie. Jari
  25. A view of the inside of the turret: edit: a brief view from a video: Jari
