Aircraft Identification V

[Waynos]

Yes Graeme, thats it, well thought through! At least the Airspeed Ambassador has its own undercarriage to stand on.

Airspeed Ambassador

That's the one.

a tatty fuselage

Another forlorn fuselage...

Hi RD. I was thinking a Hart II (Kestrel) Registration G-ABMR.

[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's the one, I couldn't find my registration lists until this morning.
Have you seen Shuttleworth's Hind, it is gorgeous.........

Another forlorn fuselage...

My guess, and it is a guess. CASA C-201 Alcotan.

Departs stage right, crossing fingers...........

Only on the internet runningdog...

My guess, and it is a guess. CASA C-201 Alcotan.

Yeah it does look a bit like the Alcotan...




...but no. This was Lieutenant General Baba-Masao's personal transport for his "surrender flight"...

Electra Junior?

 

[Graeme]

Electra Junior?

It's Japanese.

 

[Patoruzu]

Its a Tachikawa Ki 54 Allied code name hickory

That was very quick Patoruzu! Yep, Ki-54. The same aircraft, but in a better condition...



Baba Masao's Ki-54 eventually ended up in a kindergarten at a RAAF base (Fairbairn) in Canberra, but I don't know what eventually became of it.

 

[Patoruzu]

Trebor are U refering to the DHC Chipmunk? - the one with the british roundels?

 

[v2]

I found it for you , guys....

 

[wh1skea]

Is it a "droop snoot" P-38?

 

[kool kitty89]

No, I think it might be Russian.

 

[Patoruzu]

I think the engine looks like a french one! but props rotated leftwards - can be russian

 

[Patoruzu]

Archangelski (Cyrilic MMH) MMN !!

 

[v2]

yes, you are right, it's MMN 2M-105.

Graeme, I believe the fuselage is held in storage by the AWM.

 

[Krabat42]

I thought Archangelsi or Jermolajev, I was so close.

Here's a new one:



With the appropriate hint:



Krabat

Thanks Andy, I thought it may have perished as a result of the environment and/or the kindergarten kids!

With the appropriate hint:

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Very appropriate hint! Redford played Johnny Hooker in "The Sting" (1973), so it must be Sir Stanley Hooker...



Stanley Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Similar process?...



Hint...

 

[Krabat42]

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Not yet. In fact I wasn't really away yet. But now that my girlfriend's play is on stage in Munich, I will have a little more time. At least she will have, I hope.

Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast.

Similar process?...

I know this man. I'm thinking of a young Alec Issigonis, wrong kind of engineer. A young Seversky? Maybe James Jabara? I will have to think about it.

Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint...
