Wedgewood Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 At 1:17 was that a ballistic parachute attached to the airframe? I didn't realize they were available back then. I've only ever seen them in recent videos of small GA planes.
Pail Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 I'm not exactly sure when it was filmed. It looks like 1980s maybe (?). I thought it was interesting because it shows a whole battery trying to be as accurate as possible. A bit like in this game sometimes...
Willy__ Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) I'm not exactly sure when it was filmed. It looks like 1980s maybe (?). You can see the date on the upper right corner of the guncamera, it was filmed on 2003, not so long ago... Edited February 12, 2018 by istruba
Sokol1 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 At 1:17 was that a ballistic parachute attached to the airframe? I didn't realize they were available back then. I've only ever seen them in recent videos of small GA planes. Targets are R/C model aircraft- see one at 1:24, parachutes are released in tail cone. 1
Pail Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Defintly a Dutch Bofors battery. Yes the link was in the Lost and Abandoned Airfields website in the Netherlands section somewhere. You can see the date on the upper right corner of the guncamera, it was filmed on 2003 I didn't notice but thanks. I must have been distracted by the music... I knew it was no earlier than 80s but 90s or 00s seemed like a bad guess for old bofors guns...
