Aircraft Identification Thread 2

Breguet Bre.693?


If not, bleh!

I got that it's a Breguet and in the Bre.69* series, good enough for a series that looks BLOODY IDENTICAL.


If I'm wrong, I'll go and drink some beer.

 

[evangilder]

Yep, Bre.693. Good job!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

wow a french one, we don't get many of them.............

 

[mosquitoman]

and it's a good-looking French bomber, even rarer

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it's not, most french bombers look brilliant..........

 

[evangilder]

Well, THAT one looked pretty good.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

pretty much all of them did.............

 

[mosquitoman]

Are you saying that most of the planes in the Butt-Ugly Airplane thread look good?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes...........

Naturally he does because he likes the Lancaster.

 

[KraziKanuK]

What is this a/c?

canard, 12 cylinder rear engine pusher, twin fin/rudder, tricycle landing gear, single seat

Hint: Cheddar should know

 

[evangilder]

XP-55 Ascender?

 

[KraziKanuK]

Nope.

Use the Cheddar Cheese(member) hint for a direction to look.

 

[mosquitoman]

Is it an Italian plane then?

 

[BlackWolf3945]

J7W Shinden?


Fade to Black...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[cheddar cheese]

Not anymore Was a SUPERB trip though, more info and soon pics in the OFF-Topic thread

Is the plane the Northrop XP-55 Black Bullet?

 

[evangilder]

You mean the XP-56, CC? All these numbers get confusing...
There were three aircraft competing for the high speed intercept contract.

Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose
Curtiss XP-55 Ascender
Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet

I already posted a pic of the XP-55, here are pics of the XP-56 and the XP-54. All of them competing for the same contract, all of them unusual configurations.

 

[mosquitoman]

The XP-56 looks a lot like a komet with propellers
