Venturas?

"The flying pig."

I think they were in service for about 18 months or so - 21, 464 and 464 Squadrons converted from them to Mosquitos in autumn of '43 after 2 Group had left Bomber Command for 2nd TAF.

Naw, I think those were 11000' trees and houses. Looked to be a couple of 14k or 15k tall smoke stacks too. With the people I saw running I was really expecting to see a huge beanstock somewhere. Especially with all those 3K' tall giants running around.

Your explanation is spot on. It is amazing how tall people were back then. It is amazing how accurate those 12k noe raids were ;) :devil

The Mossi was slightly smaller at just 6800 feet.

Post by: Bodhi on September 23, 2008, 08:49:33 PM: I think the Vultee was 5k... but my memory is a bit hazy. Think it must be the emissions from those two year old, 200' tall Evergreen's in the Denver area....
