P-61 deck cargo just offloaded at Liverpool Docks being towed to Speke Airport for assembly by Lockheed Overseas Corp. Overhead Docks Railway in background now long gone.

And forgot to mention the P-38 behind but then you guys would notice it!

Groovy shot... thanks a bunch for posting it. Any idea as to the date this was taken?

Fade to Black...

I would guess from shadows that it was April or May 44. Also note at least one P-47 above the right engine of the P-61. Either parked or being towed backwards further down the convoy. Certainly a cool shot and I think about it every time I drive down that street!

Wow !

That last one really shows how bulky the P-47 (sorry for the typo) airframe is compared to the truck :shock:
