This image was actually taken at Romoratin in a storage facility warehouse. When they opened the big doors and cross wind whipped through it could actually move the fuselage tails into each other. So they attached the concrete weights.
Apology to all;
This thread started in the models title and I used images of models to help illustrate the points I was making. Normally in a historical title I would use strictly real images of real airframes.
