Or is it just a Spitfire being delivered using an aircraft carrier (as happened with those for Malta)? Those would not be landed-on; as you note, no hook, thus no way to stop. The Spits delivered to Malta were hoisted aboard dockside by a crane, then flown off for delivery. However, the aircraft pictured might have a hook. What's that projection just forward of the tailwheel? Could be an attachment point for the hook, with the hook itself lost in movement or focus blur. -- William Hughes, San Antonio, Texas: The Carrier Project: http://home.grandecom.net/~cvproj/carrier.htm Support Project Valour-IT: http://soldiersangels.org/valour/index.html |
