63tb, if you are in the UK the RAF Museum has one.

As for the questions, no idea.;)

Diesel at very high alts?
NO.

When you're only in -20 C, and want to stay out of trouble, it's not exactly Diesel any more, - being mixed to perhaps 20%.
At -50, you won't even pour Diesel any more, so, I guess it must have been some cocktail.

UNLESS...you keep the fuel and all the oil lines warm, which is quite an effort.

Not done on Diesel engines today, - the Diesel just gets mixed.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Now a 370 mph 152 at sea level and 470 mph at 28K might be worth the perk cost.


Even in early AH2 days when 152 was free, people still didnt use it hardly at all.

You simply pre-heat the fuel with the exhaust. Guess what fuel most military vehicles run on? How cold is it in Finnmark and Siberia? ;)

It's well known the AH Ta-152 is a bull with no danglin' maracas .   :D

One might inquire:  Why should you care?

I augur frequently, to even the sides, to get airborne more quickly, to avoid the boredom of flying all the way back home to do that ugly landing routine.  Hopefully no one hears this.

Or you route some coolant lines through the fuel tanks like on an automatic transmission car which runs a line to the radiator.

Don't see the point of the 152 - even at 25k plus it's a hog and an expensive hog at that.

Bring on the D12 or D13 any day.....
