Hannants http://www.hannants.co.uk http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ROD637 Sopwith 1½ Strutter WWI Comic Fighter, 1917/18 WAS £69.99. TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Night fighter-interceptor converted from the standard two-seat 1½ Strutter in late 1917. Modifications involved moving the pilot's seat to the rear of the aircraft and replacing the synchronized Vickers machine guns with Lewis guns on Foster mountings. This gave the pilot a better view but also made the aircraft more difficult to control. The Sopwith 1½ Strutter was called "Comic Fighter" by the pilots of 78 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, because of its unusual appearance and handling characteristics. A very limited number of this version served in the British Home Defence units, fighting against German raiders (Gotha bombers and R-planes) from late 1917 to early 1918. The aircraft was difficult to control and had a limited range, leading to the type's early withdrawal. Markings for 2 aircraft: (1) Hooper-built w/n A6906, No 78 (HD) Sqn RFC, based at Suttons Farm, flown by Lt J.S. Castle, December 1917; (2) w/n B762, No 78 (HD) Sqn RFC, based at Martlesham Heath during summer/autumn 1917 and reallocated to Home Defence in August 1917. This aircraft was not assigned to any one pilot in particular..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Specialized German communications vehicle converted from the G81A car. In order to install the sizeable radio equipment the car body was partly rebuilt and fitted with radio coils, cables and other dedicated equipment. These vehicles were used primarily in radio field units and sometimes in Wehrmacht reconnaissance units.

TEMPORARILY SAVE MORE THAN 1/3RD!!! The North-American AJ-1 Savage was a US carrier-borne bomber designed in the 1940s. Its main task was to carry and deliver a nuclear weapon, which at that time, due to its size, had to be deployed by aircraft near the target zone. Series production began in 1949 and continued until 1952 when a greatly improved AJ-2 version appeared. Due to frequent accidents during take-off and landing from aircraft carriers, it was decided to use the AJ-1 mainly for training, or as a bomber with conventional weapons. As the AJ-2 overcame the earlier shortcomings the AJ-1s were retrofitted to AJ-2 configuration and operated again from deck carriers with nuclear weapons. After retirement from the bombing role, they were employed as air-to-air refuellers. The AJ-1 was assigned to aircraft carriers sent to the South-East Asia region after the start of the Korean conflict, but no aircraft of this type were involved in this war or afterwards. New tooling. Markings for 3 aircraft: (1) AJ-1 BuNo 122591/NB2, USS Coral Sea (CV43) "Savage Sons", April 1950; (2) AJ-1 BuNo 174176/NB8, USS Coral Sea (CV43), August 1952; (3) AJ-1 BuNo 124176/NF4, USS Kearsarge (CV-33), July 1952..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! The Convair NB-36H Crusader was an American research aircraft built in 1955, based on the B-36H bomber to determine the possibility of installing a nuclear reactor and so remain airborne for a long time. The nuclear reactor was located in the rear of the bomber, and its operation was monitored via telemetry by specialists seated next to the crew in a special compartment protected by lead shielding. In all, from 1955 to 1957, the NB-36H Crusader made 47 test sorties, during which the nuclear power plant was turned on only as an auxiliary unit. Due to numerous risks, the principal of which was the unresolved issue of significant contamination in the event of the crash of such an aircraft, the research program was terminated and all future projects involving this type of aircraft were considered too dangerous..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! German passenger car built at a subsidiary of the American Ford concern in Germany in the second half of the 1930s. Based on the Ford V8 car, production lasted from 1938 to 1941, during which time more than 8,000 of this model were manufactured. With the outbreak of World War II, many Ford V8-G81As were requisitioned from private owners and transferred to military units.

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Large German special purpose aircraft of the Second World War designed to tow heavy gliders. It was based on the He 111H front-line bomber, two of which were combined in one aircraft with a common wing centre-plane and an additional fifth engine to improve flight performance, primarily enabling the aircraft to haul heavy gliders. Twelve He 111Zs were built in 1941-1942, which were delivered to a special squadron. Their main purpose was the rapid air transport of troops or large volumes of cargo. Aircraft of this type took part in transporting supplies to the Stalingrad region; in the evacuation of personnel from Crimea; and later they had to operate on the Western Front. By the end of the war, there were only four surviving He 111Zs. Even at this time the idea of using them as long-range bombers was considered, but these intentions were never realised in the rapidly deteriorating war situation. Markings for 2 aircraft: (1) He 111Z DG+DY, Eastern Front, Battle for Stalingrad, 1942-43; (2) He 111Z TH+ZI, Eastern Front, Crimea, Spring 1943..

The Arado Ar 68F-1 was a German multirole biplane developed in the mid-1930s, the main competitor to its contemporary the famous Heinkel He 51. At the time of its appearance, the aircraft displayed very good flight characteristics, but the rapid pace of technological progress and the introduction of monoplane fighters, such as the Bf-109, immediately pushed it like all other biplanes into the background, and therefore from the beginning the Arado Ar 68F mainly entered training units. A small number of Arado Ar 68Fs were also flown by combat units, mostly in secondary theatres of WW2. The last few aircraft of this type were used in 1942..

SAVE 1/3RD!!! The Stearman PT-13 / N2S-2 / N2S-5 Kaydet was a two-seater pilot training aircraft designed in the United States by Stearman, later to become a separate division of Boeing. The aircraft had excellent flight characteristics, was relatively easy to fly and became a real "flying school desk" for thousands and thousands of pilots. In addition to the US Army Air Forces, the aircraft was also built for the US Navy. In total, more than 350 PT-13 units and more than 1,500 of the N2S-2 and N2S-5 variants were produced for the US Navy. Production of the PT-13 continued even with the appearance in 1941 of a newer modification, the PT-17. After the war, most of them were resold to third countries and private owners, and many aircraft still participate in numerous air competitions and air shows.
