olderndirt Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 From me to me. The Heinkel He162 - one of Germany's "almost" entries in the jet era. Partially built with wood, it had some glue problems but the 'Beemer' engine on top was good. It's fun to fly especially when it doesn't flame - had that a couple of flights - time to read the manual. These are in the Llanbedr area of northwest Wales.

It wasn't the wood so much as the glue. Apparently someone dropped a bomb on the glue factory so they came up with a substitute - wasn't very good.

andiflyit Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Interesting aircraft OND! But this construction seems to be not a leading one featuring 1 engine there on the top... 1 hour ago, olderndirt said: Apparently someone dropped a bomb on the glue factory so they came up with a substitute - wasn't very good. obviously gone bad....

The Brits acquired one towards the end of hostilities - gave it a couple of roundels and a Flt Lt to put on a demo. He rolled, the tail didn't.
