olderndirt Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The remind me of 'Mitchell' and 'Webb' from 'Peep Show'. Does that plane have two more engines not in the shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I like the shot a lot, Martyn. It gives the sense of two pilots actually flying the plane, watching instruments and maintaining situational awareness. As for the plane itself, I'm guessing from the pinched fuselage that it is a C-46 Commando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
