Grumman Tiger?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Not the Tiger either and hope you are feeling better!

 

[Airframes]

Didn't really think it was. Wracking my brains to figure what it is (got to find my brains first though!)
Thanks Vic, I'm on the mend, slowly.

Quick guess (it's late, and I've been to the pub!) - A7 Corsair II ?

Probably !

Errrrr, actually...nope !. And its not an A7 either

You dudes need a clue ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

F-14 Tomcat?

 

[Geedee]

F-14 Tomcat?

Sorry dude, not a Tomcat

Clue 1...its not British....think Indian !

looks carrier based

 

[Airframes]

I tend to agree. the background is throwing me - can't figure out if it's part of the same aircraft !
Maybe a TBF/TBM Avenger ?

 

[Geedee]

She's not normally carrier based...allthough size wise she could certainly fit !...I dont think she even has an arrestor hook, but I may be wrong. I'll have to have a looksee at some other shots

...and its all the same plane you see in the shot

Sorry, forgot...she not an Avenger

Edited.....the Navy originaly specified that she could operate from 'Jeep' carriers. Addittionaly, she could have ski's fitted to allow landing on water and taxy at least at 20 knots to make it to the beach !!...and then the Navy lost interest in her !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I thought it would surely have been Navy due to the size of the gear. Hmmm.

 

[Geedee]

Its not Navy.
Its a twin
