Soviet bomber SB-2 Katyusha. Overall grey or maybe natural metal with green spot over it. This suggest early stage of war against USSR.

Its good to have your knowledge for the russian planes  ;) I would have thought this is a single motor plane. But from the angle this is an illusion.

Thats really cool Mick. Im reading a book at the moment about the RFC in France in the beginning there is also a explained the beginnings of military flying in the UK.

Just a short quotation:
<<In his worthy book Barker (2002:12) recounts that "Under prime minister Herbert Asquith, a reluctant Cabinet took the point and requested that a technical sub-committee be formed of the committee of Imperial Defense to consider future policies and make recommendations. The key members of this committee were: David Henderson, then director of military training, and staff Frederick Sykes. The most visionary comment came from one of those early army pioneers who had learned to fly at their own expense and laid the first foundations - Bertram Dickinson. 'In the case of a European war', ventured Dickinson, 'both sides would be equipped with large corps of aeroplanes, each trying to obtain information from the other, and to hide its own movements'.>>

Barker, R. (2002) A Brief History of: the Royal Flying Corps in World War I, London: Robinson.

There is also a funny episode that Hugh Trenchard enrolled at the flying school shortly before his 40th birthday which would have disqualified him as a pupil. David Henderson learned to fly in 1911 at the age of 49  :-cool

They had also Nieuport Monoplane in 1912.

Last photos to honor the allied bomber command. Geoff Taylor an Australian Airman who was killed in EM Z. This plane was from the 207 Sqn RAF shot down over Hannover on 18/10/43 in Lancaster EM-Z LM326. A wireless operator from this flight who was taken POW, Mr. Reg Burton, has survived the crash and passed away last year at the age of 95.
