71chally Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) It's unfortunate that there so few shots of B.15/16s as they were such an interesting variant. That image is probably one of the most well known ones as it comes from the IWM photo archives site THE ROYAL AIR FORCE, 1950-1969. © IWM (RAF-T 5204)IWM Non Commercial Licence Another nice one here from the IWM with rockets being loaded on to a B.15 THE ROYAL AIR FORCE, 1950-1969. © IWM (RAF-T 5170)IWM Non Commercial Licence Finding nice shots with the Nord AS.30 missiles on a B.15 missile is very rare!

Ossington 2 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just realised: the topmost photo has partial flap lowered on one side only (starboard). I have never seen this before, on any aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Great phtos, thank You for sharing! RAF Tengah would make a great setting for a diorama as you can place several aircraft types side by side on the apron. I could locate the spot where the second photo was taken but the first one is a guess... What a fascinating place! I spent two and a half years at Tengah in the 90s. Kind Regards, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
