- Use of the Nene engine in the MIG-15
Hello All
I've included here a small piece from Meccano Magazine for November 1952, describing the recovery of a crashed MIG-15 in Korea. Certainly a dangerous mission and I like the way the MIG was dismantled "with hand grenades"!
Interestingly the text is full of praise for the aircraft, and apparently free of anti-Communist propaganda.
Was it when the previous MIG-15, retrieved by the Royal Navy, was inspected that the use of a Nene-clone was discovered?
best regards ... Stef
