View from a helmet cam! That stick looks awesome. It sounds like there are a few projects to restore more of these. Hope to see more flying.

Notice him praying at 2:52...... i don't think he has much faith in Soviet technology

On a similar note, here in Aussieland...

Some volunteers in Caboolture, Qld, are in the process of restoring a Bristol Beaufort MkVII to airworthy condition. It carries the serial A9-141, registration VH-KTW and will, like the IL-2 above, be the only flying example of a Beaufort bomber in the world. Quite an achievement, and I'll be following this one to see what happens.
