More Bullschtein!
Upon arrival aboard Graf Zeppelin, General Udet was approached by technicans from Mittelwerk Gmbh.
They seek a test bed for a new infrared air-to-air missile system they've developed. The He-280-V2T has no propeller to interfere with nose-mounted the detection gear and seems a logical aircraft for the tests. Udet responds "Test! Hals und Beinbruch, This we must have! The Britishers will jawohl tremble in their unterkleidung!" Projekt Abendsbanshee goes forth. Named not for the missiles, but the sound the mounting racks make while airborne.
2 of Udet's new navalized He-280's form Deutcheskriegsmarine Erprobungsgruppe Eins.
(There a $25.00 German phrase for ya!) The expansive Udet insists on flying one of the test ships.
Abendsbanshee! who but me fills & sands seams on modified Bullschtein missiles? My mistake was digging through Chuck Sterns box of old airplane parts. A little too much time on my hands, Perhaps?
I/R antenna and ventral strake. I wanted external tanks for DKEG-1's jets. We'll see, won't we?
Thanks for cheering me on! I appreciate every comment.
