Great subject and video, Sean What makes a B-17 cooler.... More .50 cals. I returned to the hobby in 2018 after forty years and one of the kits to complete was the 1/48 Monogram B-17G that had a lot of scratch built interior additions that cannot be easily seen as I have the model posed in flight on a stand with full crew figures. Was originally going to do, '909' but chose a bare metal factory new. I live in Burlington, Ontario and our house is about twenty miles from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. We have warbirds fly close or over us often. With encouragement from UK modeller friends I have posted reveal videos of my builds on my channel while learning video editing. Many of the models are posed in flight on stainless steel stands. I work in 1/32 and 1/24 mostly. Interested in seeing what the Border Models 1/35, B-17G future release will be like. Hopefully more accurate than the 1/32 HK. I have subscribed.

Thanks for Stopping by and thanks for the sub! Been to the CWHM a bunch of times and hearing those old engines never gets old! I would absolutely love to get my hands one of the HK 32nd kits or that new border models one, but I don't have enough space for something that big. I have barely enough space to add any more of the 48th scale stuff I build. I am working on the decals on the B-40 as I type this so stay tuned for the finished product.

Great video, mate. My grandfather William Saunders flew with the 416th only a couple days after D - Day. Originally he flew with the 421st. He remained with the 416th until the end of his war in March of 1945. After gathering 519 operational hours, he came down with pneumonia and missed two months of flying. Upon his recovery, he was assigned to the #83 G.S.U, a RAF unit, to test fly factory Spitfires with various additions and changes. The engine packed up shortly after take off and the plane crash landed in a field. During his time with the 416th, he claimed one aerial victory (an FW 190) near Arnhem, an S - Boot on at the mouth of the Seine, and numerous ground transports

The Uplands name came from a development company named Ottawa Uplands Ltd. which had acquired the land from Ottawa Mayor Charles Hopewell in 1912. It got passed onto Laurentian Air Services in 1937 and then the Department of Transport in 1938 for the development of a commercial airport. In 1912, there was a land speculation boom in the Ottawa area, and this site was originally slated for residential development. When the boom went bust not long later and no formal subdivision plan registered, it was an opportunity for this piece of high flat land to be used as an early Ottawa air strip.

@@SeansAviation The very first flights to Ottawa took place before World War I. The first flight was a demonstration for the Central Canada Exhibition at Lansdowne Park, but when it was determined that it was not safe to land on what is now the football field, the plane landed just to the east across the Rideau Canal at what became known as Slattery field, named for the farmer who owned the land. This is near the intersection of Riverdale Avenue and Main Street. This was followed by the first Ottawa intercity flight with a plane landing at the same location from Montreal carrying Montreal newspapers.

good thing Barker chose the newer Snipe over the Camel as it was a better plane fixing some of the flaws in the Camel and being just a little faster could runaway easier. Though it wasn't that much better than his opponents aircraft that day the Fokker D. VII ( which was a great plane when equipped with the correct engine) that was probably enough of an edge to keep a superior pilot like Barker alive

The Barker fuselage has always intrigued me, one question, was the fuselage repaired for public display? Obviously, the Snipe took a lot of hits, and also there must have been a lot of blood from his wounds. Has anyone any information on these details?
@SeansAviation 2 ай бұрын
My guess is the airframe would have been "sanitised" after the event for public viewing, and any blood would have been cleaned up. One can see bullet holes in the remaining left side fabric, the entire right side was removed at some point before returning to Canada.
@t-mar9275 2 ай бұрын
There are a couple of famous photos of Barker and this fuselage. One was taken when it was on display in London, in 1919. At that time it still had the original engine and machine guns. The 2nd photo was taken a few months later, when it was received in Canada. The engine and guns are missing, so they appear to have been removed in England. The current fuselage shows some minor changes from the as received state in the photograph. Apparently, the Snipe took relatively few bullet hits, with the three striking Barker being "lucky shots". There's an extant photo of Barker's upturned Snipe taken by the Kite Balloon observer who rescued Barker and drove him to the Field Dressing Station. While the photo is heavily scratched, the fabric appears remarkably intact. It's certainly not all torn up. Then there's a surviving diary entry by a member of Barker's squadron stating the he didn't notice any fuselage bullet holes when walking around the crashed Snipe and that the three bullets that struck Barker must have been lucky shots. Finally, the author of a 1997 biography on Barker, who presumably had the opportunity to examine the fuselage up close, noted that, "... there's little evidence of bullet holes...". However, there certainly should have been a lot of blood. Barker's rescuer mentions cutting away his bloodstained Sidcot suit and having to apply compression to the thigh artery on the drive to the Field Dressing Station. Yet, the biographer noted no bloodstains upon examining the fuselage. So, it would appear that the bloodstains were cleaned up. This probably happened prior to it being put on display in London, as that photo shows no barriers around the fuselage, allowing close inspection by the public. While most of the fabric and some of the panelling of the right hand side of the fuselage have been removed, this is not necessarily due to crash damage. It was displayed in this state in England and may have been removed as part of the de-commissioning operation or to display the construction to the public. Otherwise, it should have been mentioned in the squadron member's diary entry.

I have been doing some more digging and the only reference I can find for 414 being based at Uplands was that there was a detachment assigned to the Canadian Forces Airborne Sensing Unit, which only lasted from 1971-1975. I usually focus on where a unit is home based in my videos as units almost always have detachment's assigned somewhere and it becomes cumbersome to track all of them.

Sean, I see your site is no more. Unfortunately, I see no way to get a hold of you by email, which to me, a 40-year emailer, is tragic, as Facebook is not an option and Instatok is something that inspires curiosity to someone who still remembers Friendster. I'll try to be quick: my dad was an R/O in the 467th based at Rackheath and I'm writing a sort of bio of his experiences, except it's centred on only one mission-Dec. 24, 1944-and I'm telling it from wakeup to wheels down in a strange narrative style that just hatched one day, me not being a writer, but which is oddly appropriate, namely the whole thing being from his perspective and through his thoughts. It's not for publication, just for friends and family or whoever and for my own vast amusement. I put up an excerpt on an old blog of mine at japanesewithkamakiri.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-mission.html so you can see what I mean. But I'm having a lot of trouble getting granular details like, who was calling who after the planes had all departed the base and headed for assembly, what role my dad would have played in it etc. because although I have to fictionalise all his thoughts and conversations, it's all based on reality-crew were the real crew, background facts were all real etc.-so I don't want to go around inventing stuff if I don't have to. I know too many useless details will drive readers away, but a few sprinkled here and there will add authenticity, and fend off the real historians who come to my front door with cudgels. In the video of yours that I just watched-about assembly ships-I noticed immediately two ships from the 467th, and one of them was the assembly ship on this very mission-"Pete The Pom Inspector"-I had no idea what colours it was painted until I saw your video, so now my dad can "think" about it in the story, and any veterans who have entered cryosleep and are woken up by aliens in 100 years can read my story and say "Hey, he got it right! Polka dots!" Since I just stumbled on your channel just now, I'll check it out! I think my email address is visible on my channel, but I know you're probably a busy guy, so you can always blow me off in the comments!
