Now it is better,However it is still looking like a one which was taken from a kindergarten.

And if the kids at the kindergarten grow bored-brighten it up with another wing.

If you get bored of the kids just hop in, and fly away.


(PS- Thanks Wurger and Krabat42 for your input on the Do 17. Revealed as just a 'Dornier Do 17' this am, regardless of model)

A guess, the Miles Master M24 in the second photo, fitted with the slip wing tried on the Hurricane for extra range.

No and Yes. It's the Hillson Bi-mono. An interesting experiment in allowing an aircraft to take-off from grass fields or roads at 'overload' weights, then 'slip' the wing off in flight to regain maneouvrability and fighting performance.
Built in 1940 its performance was so bad that the maximum speed as a biplane was less than the stalling speed as a monoplane; in other words; jettisoning the top wing caused an immediate stall. A single, successful 'slip' was made on July 16 1941. The company pilot reported a gentle sink of a few hundred feet on jettisoning. There are protective frames round the rudder and elevator horn balances, presumably to protect the control surfaces when the top wing was dropped. The monoplane landing was described as "like a high speed kangaroo."

And yes, this interesting experiment continued with the bi-plane Hurricane.

What's this one then?

 

[Graeme]

What's this one then?

Swedish air force insignia-looks like museum flying day-Google 'Swedish air force Museum'. Is it a.."FVM/CFM 01 Tummelisa"?

 

[mosquitoman]

Yep

 

[Krabat42]

Is this at Duxfords Flying Legends this year? I read the Tummelisa would be a visitor.

 

[mosquitoman]

Yes it was, did a good display aswell.

 

[trackend]

Heres a couple of more shots (nice Pic Mossie)

 

[mosquitoman]

Wow, good pics.
It was parked right in front of where I was sitting so half my shots had the top wing or some struts in.

 

[Wurger]

A nice beplane and nice stuff there.

 

[Graeme]

One clue, is the aircraft, bottom left.

 

[Wurger]

This aircraft looks to me like Tupolev's one

 

[Njaco]

Henschel Hs 128?

 

[paaln]

Tu-8 (ANT-69)

 

[Graeme]

Tu-8 (ANT-69)

[Graeme]

One good identification deserves another.

 

[Njaco]
