ACCESS: Secret
I just acquired excellent Luftwaffe: Secret Bombers of the Third Reich by Dan Sharp and one thing intrigued me (so far).
In the Ju 287 chapter there are pictures showing different loading variants of the bomber, among them a pair of RVT 294 bomb torpedoes.
Hmmm - I just wonder what is the RVT 294?
It is not of the BT series and it is not of the EB series, as it significantly differs with its layout from both of them - while it looks pretty much like the WLK type bomb torpedo.
The number 294 in the designation seems to suggest, it could be just a Hs 294 warhead used as a simple unpowered bomb torpedo...?
And what could the abbreviation RVT mean?
Any ideas, please?
