sailorboy61 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The rocket rails, should they be 90 degrees to the wing or 90 degrees to the ground please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Certainly not to the ground. Sometimes they were angled individually to give a spread of shot, although this seems to have been more common in Coastal Command (with bigger targets?) than 2 TAF.

JasonC Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think the OP means looking from the front - i.e. should the rails 'hang' straight down, or should they be 90 degrees to the bottom surface of the wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailorboy61 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Perhaps to the wing me thinks? http://www.grubbyfingersshop.com/walkaround_galleries/Hawker Typhoon IB Walkaround MN235 RAF Toronto 2016/content/index.html but difficult angle.
