Wow!
Did they adapt the fuel fittings? Use it for napalm? Dispose of British beer?

Awesome photo!

BTW. after the British beer gets drunk, it takes a little more than an hour to turn it in to American beer

I would bet napalm, note the "screamer" under the nearest P-47 wingtip.

What the heck doe that sound like?! Has anyone ever created new ones and installed them onto their plane?

Chris, I'd try one on the Tiger Moth, but it would probably only get fast enough to sound like a dog whistle

Duggy: thanks for these - and the screamer shots: both news to me!

Ironic that they are marked "Not a bomb"

Interesting. I had not heard of this type of utilization of German drop tanks. Thanks Duggy!
