Tonight's film is everyone's other favourite F-14 movie.... (Dialogue is courtesy of imdb) Captain Yelland: Alert One this is Eagle One, what've you got? Pilot: Two Japanese Zeroes, sir. Captain Yelland: Two what? Pilot: Two Trophy Class Mitsubishi A6Ms in original condition, complete with all markings. I mean, they look brand new sir! Captain Yelland: Have you been spotted? Pilot: Negative, we're right in the sun at their 6 o'clock high. Captain Yelland: Stay in visual contact, take no action without clearance. Pilot: Wilco Eagle One, out. Captain Yelland: Eagle Control to Alert One, you are clear to arm, but don't fire. Throw them off, play with them, but do not fire. F-14 pilot #1: Affirmative! F-14 pilot #1: Say, Fox... that woke 'em up F-14 pilot #2: Yeah, but I think we should give 'em another shot! [one of the F-14's barely dodges a burst of gunfire from one of the Zeroes] Pilot: Why the hell are we playing with these guys? Captain Yelland: Alert One this is Eagle One, you are clear to fire. Splash the Zeroes. I say again, splash the Zeroes... F-14 pilot #1: Eagle Control, Alert One. Splash two, repeat, splash two. Possibly one survivor in the water.

We need to get someone in Denmark to head to the (Danmarks Tekniske Museet) Technical Museum of Denmark ... where this aircraft is supposed to be on display apparently as the first jet aircraft Denmark purchased. Who's going? Also see references: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1298273 https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/model/Gloster Meteor F4 http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000412356.html http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000836666.html https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/72366 Inspiration and History: "Denmark bought 20 Meteor F.Mk.4 in May 1949 with deliveries commencing the same autumn, after a number of pilots and mechanics had been trained in England. The aircraft belonged to 3. Luftflotille of Marinens Flyvevæsen (the Third Air Flotilla of the Danish Navy’s Air Service). They were given the type numeral 43 and individually numbers running from 461 to 480. After the creation of the Royal Danish Air Force, which took place on October 1st 1950, the Third Air Flotilla was renamed Eskadrille 723 (Squadron 723) on January 8th 1951. On November 1st1952 Flyvevåbnets Jagerkursus (the RDAF’s fighter course) was established at Aalborg Air Base and at the same time took over the remaining 14 Meteor F.4, as six had crashed in the first years of service. The F.4 remained in service until 1956, when fatigue and rising maintenance costs rendered it obsolete. As a consequence all but two of the remaining airframes were dismantled and used for target practice, fire drills and other useful events. The 43-461, which is the subject of this review, has the distinction of being Denmark’s first operational jet fighter and is today preserved at the Technical Museum in Elsinore." That image is located here: https://modelingmadness.com/review/korean/gb/plesmet4.htm Appears to have the same aircraft number, insignia, and folding wings. The original image appears to trace back to: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alfblume/2284473292/in/album-72157638528692053/ Maybe we're closer to the mystery being solved? Wrench get's a gold star.

As mentioned ... some F3s built in 1944 were modified for naval trials which included beefed up under bellies, tailhooks, and folding wings. The navy sea trials took place on the HMS Implacable which included takeoffs and landings. The Meteor pictured above is a real and very rare aircraft. I bet she's a prized museum piece with what looks like a great restoration filled with tremendous British history and pride no matter where she goes. BTW, I think this topic is still in the wrong place.

Just &%§?&§! that the data link pod function doesnt actually work, "should" show seeker video until wpn impact Couple unrelated pics..
