Aircraft Identification Thread IV

[evangilder]

We've had that one before. Almost looks like an oversized GB racer.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

CC there were several AS.14 builts for testing. It just never entered service.

 

[red admiral]

Guess I need to make this harder then. Who would build a replica of such an ugly aircraft?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Oh my god that is hidious!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Damn I know this, but I cant think.

 

[evangilder]

Yeah, that looks familiar. Maybe one of the powered gliders?

 

[BlackWolf3945]

Guess I need to make this harder then.

Wrong airplane to use following that statement...

'Tis the General Aircraft Ltd. GAL.38 Fleet Shadower. Not to be confused with the Airspeed AS.39 Fleet Shadower...

Fade to Black...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes that's the only prototype, P1758, she was infact designed alongside the Airapeed AS.39, funnily enough, for the carrier born fleet shaddowing role, and the picture is of the plane later in her life, as she was originally fittet with a triple tailplane unit...........

blackwolf you are aware that the picture you have posted is of the Airspeed AS.39?? i'm sure you are aware it's just that you didn't make it very clear.........

 

[red admiral]

Yes its ugly, but oddly small for a four-engined aircraft. Any ideas why they just didn't use 2 engines? Added safety in case of malfunctions?

I hope this is a bit harder.. if not I'll have to get some really obscure aircraft.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the Niagara V engines used produced 130hp each, so they needed more than two, and that offered more saftey and longer range........

 

[BlackWolf3945]

blackwolf you are aware that the picture you have posted is of the Airspeed AS.39?? i'm sure you are aware it's just that you didn't make it very clear.........

Yes I'm aware. And I think that the statement "Not to be confused with the Airspeed AS.39 Fleet Shadower... " followed by the photo of same should have made it very clear to all involved. But I should know better than to assume such things here in the playground...


Fade to Black...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

there's no need to be like that, for all i know you might have been posting annother picture of what you thought was the GAL.38, i was only checking........

and if you don't like the "playground", you don't have to post here........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ok guys cool it before it gets out of hand....


Red Admiral, I dont know what the hell that plane is but it sure as hell looks weird!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

he started it .....

 

[cheddar cheese]

He was right about it being a playground


Im intrigued by red admirals aircraft though. Stuka canopy, parasol wing, twin tails...even weirder than the P.12

 

[JCS]

This is a tough one, I cant find anything even close to it.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm pretty sure i've seen it before though........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I have never even seen that thing.

 

[red admiral]

I'll leave it a bit longer before you all admit defeat Unfortunately I've restocked my hard drive with even more obscure planes...

 

[Smokey]

Is it a Gotha?
