Back to the air museum, sorry not blogged for a couple of days, think I got a touch too much sun visiting this museum, feel good now so lets get on with the visit.
This beauty is a Grumman Tigercat it never saw action in the 2nd. war, arrived too late but did a bit in Korea. "All engine" 2x Pratt & Whiney 18 cylinder Wasps, normally air cooled but I think this version was liquid cooled or a combination of both, should have been paying more attention to the retired pilot/engineer who give you all the info here but by this time I was feeling pretty grotty -thats the excuse anyway.
Lockheed Harpoon, was this the original flying gunship, guns, rockets and bombs it had the lot.
A well used Sikorsky Choctaw
Chance-Vought Corsair, Used from 1943 to 1958 it had a long and productive life, again the Pratt & Whitney 18 cylinder wasp.
