The plane is maybe not too hard but what are the whatchamacallits?

Looks like some kind of RNav gear to me.

Not Nav gear

Are they anything to do with the US Navy radar directed glide bombs?  I can't remember the name of them.

They look like some sort of electrical gear

A BAT-firing Privateer, mayhap?




spence -> RE: Mystery Plane and whatchamacallits? (8/2/2007 9:21:26 PM)

Tis indeed a BAT firing Privateer (PB4Y-2). I think the BAT was TV guided and those are the television receiver antennae on the sides of the plane.

Radar-guided. It grew out of the TV-guided Dragon missile but became radar-guided.

Sure did, thanks. As for spamming, I prefer to pretend that putting art in my posts stops them being spam [:D]
