 | I never knew they used such low hp engines for it. Those R-2800s would have done it well.

| They certainly packed them in. One flight from North Africa to Italy had 220 soldiers. 140 in the hold and 80 inside the wings!  Last edited by Graeme; 11-16-2007 at 05:29 PM. |

| Hi Comiso, >in the wings! One or two years back, a couple of Me 323 main spars were recovered in Germany. They were in excellent condition, having served as roof support arches in a warehouse for several decades. Regards, Henning (HoHun) |

| Talking of the ME323, I had IL2 Forgotton battles and they are great fun the shoot down in a Hurricane. Don't know where the armamment is though! I think there's a gun on the right wing as you come in behind it! |

| Yeah, I thought that was a glitch or something, but if you read the article it says that there were gun blisters in the wings.

| Hi Adler, >Thats the same photo I posted.... You linked the site, I provided a direct link to the photograph of the spar so that other readers can watch the picture with a single click. The site you linked hides the actual URL of the picture - you might not be aware of this, but if you click the link in your post it takes you to the main page and not to the main spar picture. I just provided the direct link to save everyone a couple of clicks ... I hope there's nothing wrong with that? Regards, Henning (HoHun) |
