The What is it? Game

[Airframes]

Dead easy - it's the cover plate over Davros the Dalek's brain cell, just before the lid was closed and painted black.
No?
OK then, that's me f***** !

 

[Crimea_River]

No way I'm getting this one.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Gary's getting way to tricky for me. I have not been able to find anything that remotely looks like this.

 

[T Bolt]

Educated guess: Meteor

 

[Capt. Vick]

DH Vampire?

 

[Geedee]

It is a bit different isn't it

Right, some clues....

Its not a Meteor or Vampire...good tries tho' chaps !, a Dalek would love to mate with it...probably....aaaaaaannnnd

Its a nose wheel inner cover (this bit does normally have a cover over it but you may have seen one somewhere...), from a currently active Frontline twin. And the word 'Fortress' has some meaning to its name

 

[Airframes]

A-10 Thunderbolt II ?

 

[Geedee]

Sorry Terry, its not a Thunderbolt....allthough you have seen this bird on a few occassions

Its also a twin seat jobbie

 

[Crimea_River]

Fuoga Master

 

[Airframes]

It's that 'Fortress' connection which is getting me - can't see the link, but I'll go for Tornado F3.

 

[Geedee]

Not a Fouga or a Tornado.

Its got props !

 

[Airframes]

Ah - the Pucara at Duxford.

 

[Geedee]

Way to go Terry, you got her !

This is the FMA IA 58 Pucará. A twin stick, Turboprop in frontline service with the Argentine and Uruguayan Air Forces. Quite a sexy looking bit of kit...I always said if I ever had enough spare cash floating around, I'd get one for my personal transport !. I'd need a step ladder tho' cos she aint half got a set of legs on her...she's just short of 18 feet high !!!

Over to you DB

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

So I was right about the wheel tub.

 

[Airframes]

OK, try this one - probably won't take long.

 

[Crimea_River]

I don't get the "fortress" connection but oh well...

Terry, I'm trying to decipher your offering. Can't tell if that's glazing or a hole like an air intake. Rivets/screws make it not modern I would assume. And unfilled rivet holes, hmmmm.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm going to guess PBY Catalina again. Right behind the cockpit. I'm probably wrong but that's my guess.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh that's a nose shot of a B-24...

 

[Airframes]

Capt Vick has it. It's the B-24 at Duxford.
