The Douglas XTB2D Skypirate was a torpedo bomber intended for service with the United States Navy’s Midway and Essex-class aircraft carriers. Two prototypes were completed, but the dedicated torpedo bomber was becoming an outdated concept, and with the end of World War II, the type was deemed unnecessary and cancelled.

🇭🇺✈️ A field full of old Cold War Soviet airplanes, left to languish in a farmer's field somewhere in Hungary

These are Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (MF, bis, 21UM) and Sukhoi SU-22 (M and UM3), manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s.

After being delivered to this field around the 1990s, they stood in neat rows for decades. A few years ago, they were removed.

The Blackburn B-5 Baffin biplane torpedo bomber was a development of the Ripon, the chief change being that a 545 hp (406 kW) Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial replaced the Ripon’s Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine.
