Udvar-Hazy annex (Smithsonian collection)
Had to take mom to Dulles for a flight this morning, so I stopped at Udvar-Hazy (since it's literally down the road from the airport)
I'm not much of a photographer, and I was using a camera phone, but I grabbed somethings I figured might be of interest. Will post some stuff once I finish sorting and uploading.
Engine Row.
P&W R-2000 Twin Wasp
Packard Merlin V-1650-7
Aichi Atsuda 31
Allison V-1710-33
Kugisho Ne-20 with a Junkers Jumo 004 B4 behind it
Napier Nomad E.145 and LycomingT-53-L1
Lycoming XR-7755-3
P&W R-4360
The gun cabinet.
Loon missle (There are a
lot of V-1 knockoffs in the space/misslie wing...)
Regulus, and a 1933 Liquid Fuelled Goddard rocket.
Fritz-X
Hs 293
Hs 117 Schmetterling
The above three.
Gargoyle and Bat
Reintochter R I Missle
Now THATS what I call a gun cabinet!
Fixed some img tag errors in the Engine Row post. And the B-29 in the background of a lot of the shots is the Enola Gay, for anyone who didn't know already.
Aichi Atsuda should be Aichi Atsuta
Engines...*dreamy eyes*
Ok the V-1 in US markings just rubs me the wrong way. Its like putting a swastica on Soviet Union flag,
or a Waffen-SS officer with Star of David on his sholder.
Don't know why...
