The What is it? Game

[T Bolt]

Bristol Blenheim

 

[Airframes]

Yep. (or Bollingbrooke, same thing, only with a Canadian voice!)

I gotta get me a better set of pics. Good stuff Glenn. In fact, it is a Bollingbroke:

 

[T Bolt]

That was a good one Andy. I didn't get it right away, it took some looking. At first I thought it was maybe a B-17 with somewhat modified nose windows, but to my knowledge there are none around in RAF colors, and it looked like a multi engined bomber, so I started looking at RAF bombers and Bingo!

I will have a new picture up a little later today.

Way to go Glenn and excellent shot Andy!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Aaron. By the way, that Bollingbroke is located at the Bomber Command Museum in Nanton, Alberta, about a 45 minute drive from my home. I beleive they're trying to get the engines in working order but the plane won't be flyable.

I remember seeing an article 10 or 15 years ago about several Bollingbrokes that were found on some farmers field in Canada. They looked like basket cases at the time, but I wonder if this one is one of them.

Anyway here's the next one:

Yup, this aircraft was in fact bought from a farmer in Sakatchewan and restored. I'm gonna guess a Global Hawk drone there Glenn though I think I'm wrong as the split intake is not quite right for it.

Looks to be the nose on a civil aircraft.

Thunderbolt; It (the Bolingbrook model minus its larger engine neclaces, larger oil tanks and winter/water survival gear = a Blenheim model/pattern) is made from restored and certified parts from a few of them, and if not restored, then new 'pattern' fabrications from unserviciable parts, look for a book called 'The Forgotten Bomber' - covers the restoration of the 1st air-worthy Blenheim/Bolingbrook and its subsiquent destruction - some of the surving parts are now in that one pictured above.

as for the nose pic... Cesna, Beechcraft - lycoming/continental/flat engined predominantly civil A/C.

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Global Hawk or any other type of drone, and intended for military use.

 

[Airframes]

Intake on a 'Loon', the American-built 'V1' ?

 

[T Bolt]

Like I said above, not any kind of drone and that would include both the loon and V-1, but it is of WWII vintage

 

[Crimea_River]

P-39 - intake behind the pit.

 

[T Bolt]

Very good Andy! Take it over.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done Andy, that never crossed my mind!

 

[Crimea_River]

That was a sneaky one. Here you go:

 

[razor1uk]

A Daimler engined biplane or parasol (a monoplane that looks like a biplane with the lower wing associated struts braces removed) plane?

 

[Airframes]

Good one Glenn, and well done Andy.
Hmm - that Canadian trainer thingy, Fleet something or other?

 

[Crimea_River]

No, not a Fleet.
