Aircraft Top End

Are you troubled about our future Sovereign ?

Hi,
Nothing personal against Charlie, but how about this.

I am pleased and privileged to work civilian for the RAF, deigning systems.

However, Charlie flew in as pilot to RAF St. Mawgan in Cornwall in his Mum's Hawker Siddley 125 twin jet thing, and made three unsuccesful attempts at landing until some pro took over.

All the top brass and dignitaries were standing in line watching this malarky.

I was the humble servant of HRH on the end of the line.

We span around, watching these attempts, with a comment from an Air Vice-Marshall that he should not be let loose in an aircraft.

I have nothing against Charles, but he can easily make a twit of himself in public, and probably in private as well.

Any notions ?

Bob

Not at all. I don't see that his flying capability has anything to do with his ability to be the reigning monarch no more than your ability to learn to ride a bicycle as a child has any bearing on how well you do at your current profession.

Does anyone know if the German fighter aircraft Dornier D-335 ever flew in combat?

This was an aircraft with propellers at both ends.
Although I think, strictly, one was a propeller and the other a tractor.
They were contra-rotating (so as to prevent the pilot getting dizzy
Does anyone know the top speed?
Thank you.
Hi Cycwynner
Thanks for the translation from the German!
Thanks to everyone else as well!
I have found out from another source that there is film available of flights of Do-335.
International Historic Films, in Chicago
Will get one
I wondered if he'd messed up the development?
He also insisted on Me 262 as a bomber!
His thinking,apparently,was that a bomber showed that he was attacking!
BUT a fighter showed that he was on the defensive!
Hi Gregva2001
Sorry about the slip with contra-rotating!

The best web site, in terms of operational employment, I found was of Sebastian Schneider:

http://www.waffenhq.de/flugzeuge/do335.htm

unfortunately only in German, but it does raise the question of "operational use" of the DO 335. The reply is that they were not. He mentions that unconfirmed reports of allied pilots state "a shadow similar to the DO335 was sighted", but he also mentions that according to Luftwaffe records, none of these Aircraft was ever listed as "operational". I tend to agree with Schneider’s argumentation. The reply could be that the Allied pilots saw a training flight (quite a number were carried out) and mistook it for an operational one.
At the end of the article you’ll find detailed technical data.
Here's the translation

Personal note: together with the ME 262 (Schwalbe/Swallow Jet) the DO 335 (Pfeil/Arrow - Pull-Push prop) was one of the best Aircraft to be produced in WW2. Luckily for the RAF/USAAF old AH was so darned stupid as to insist on they being converted to "fighter bombers", had they maintained their original role of fighters, they'd have flown much earlier and allied casualties would have rocketed.

How come the detailed interest in Aviation?
