his is a repaint of the excellent Virtavia B-29 to represent Boeing Washington B.1. WF555 (44-62254) of 57 Squadron, RAF based at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire in the summer of 1951. On 29 September 1951, the crew of WF-555 was tasked to fly on a NATO exercise to test western defences. On the way home No. 3 engine developed problems with the constant speed propeller which eventually ran away and sheared off, severely damaging No. 4 engine. 3 of the crew bailed out but the pilot Flt. Lt. Lang, managed to nurse the crippled aircraft as far as Amiens in Northern France where he successfully bellied in on a disused wartime airfield.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
