Message |- | '''DYoung''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/NoAvatar.gif' /></div><br/>7/14/2010 1:29:46 PM | I was looking at the Gallery NARA Photos for "Flights" and saw picture number 65533 which appears to be a non PFF aircraft, IY-K. There were two non-PFF a/c IY-K's in the 615. Net Results and Little Moe. My dad, Jack Young, flew on Net Results and am curious about this photo. Is there any way to tell when it was taken so I can find out if it was his plan or not?<br/> <br/> Thanks for any help on my question.<br/> <br/> Doug Young <br/><br/><br/> |- | '''Paul Bellamy''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/Paul Bellamy.jpg' /></div><br/>7/14/2010 2:40:20 PM | Hi Doug,<br/> <br/> Photo 65533AC is dated 26th September 1944, and shows olive drab over grey painted 42-31069 <i>Little Moe</i> waiting on the perimeter track a couple of days before she was lost to flak. Her replacement, <i>Net Results</i>, was a bare metal finish aircraft.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/> |- | '''DYoung''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/NoAvatar.gif' /></div><br/>7/15/2010 10:15:57 AM | Hi Paul,<br/> <br/> Wow, you're good AND fast. Thanks! I checked the dates of when Little Moe was in service and lost and when Net Results began its missions. That's why I was curious about the date of that Photo. It's not my dad's plane Net Results...haven't seen a photo of it yet...but it is still a great shot. I'll keep my eyes pealed for a photo of it just in-case a stray picture of it comes up some day. <br/> <br/> Thanks again Paul.<br/> <br/> Doug <br/><br/><br/> |- | '''Paul Bellamy''' <br/><br/><div class='poster-info'><img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/Paul Bellamy.jpg' /></div><br/>7/15/2010 11:10:13 AM | No problem Doug.<br/> <br/> As far as I can tell, the only photo that may be of <i>Net Results</i> is a partial view of the port wing and engines in the background of a crew photo.<br/> No identifying markings are visible, and it's only the date of the photo and the identity of the crew that indicate the possible identity.<br/> <br/> I'll make a start on the in-flight photos, as that's the most likely chance to find a decent image.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/> |}
