In reply top Liberator wings in use as fence in the UK? posted by Cees Broere on Mon Nov 25, 2002 05:17:53 AM

My father grew up in Tocumwal, NSW, Australia post WW2, where they scrapped a lot of aircraft including Liberator's, and he remembers "B24 fences" also, as well as many other things. Apparently the local kids used to get up to mischief retracting the nosewheels of the stored B24's, I guess they still had enough pressure in the hydraulic accumulator's to (luckily) only retract the nosegear!
