The What is it? Game

[B-17engineer]

Dam...what plane am I thinking of then....

 

[Airframes]

You're thinking of the FG78B1A 'Skunkrat' Harrison, often called a 'whatsitmajigg'.

 

[B-17engineer]

Dam your right... my bad Glenn for the inconvenience

ok here we are

 

[Airframes]

Vulcan B2.

 

[rochie]

yup didnt think it would take you long !
from Duxford you know the one you never noticed on the day

 

[Airframes]

Yeah. Still puzzles me how I could miss two million square feet of bomber looming over my head!!
I'll be back in a short while with a suitable pic - got to nip out.

 

[Airframes]

Here you go. This one shouldn't take long to get.

 

[ccheese]

There's that pitot tube again......

F-86 ??

Charles

 

[Airframes]

Not a F86 Charles, but the pitot tube is a good clue !

 

[Geedee]

Convinced its a 'cold war' jet!....no,hang on mo'....now looks lke a chopper to me (only quite why the guy in the front would want a cooling fan on the inside of the screen when theres a bladdy great big one above him !!!

shot in the dark....Mi24 Hind ?

 

[Airframes]

Told you it wouldn't take long! It is indeed the fearsome 'Hind', this somewhat worn example once again at Duxford.
And now for another brain-boiler from Gary !

 

[Geedee]

First thoughts where a Swift...followed by a Gnat, then I couldn;t figure out why the instrument panel didnt have a glare shield. Good one Terry.

Me ?....provide a brain boiler ?...errrrr, crickey, thats a challenge then....

Ok, with my devious head on.....heres a different one. and yup, I know...allways with a picture of a very small part !....makes it harder dontchya know

 

[Airframes]

What the.....!!??
Twelve individual exhaust stacks? Could it be a 24 cylinder engine, or just twin ports per cylinder? Hmm.
A shot in the dark - just a guess it isn't fitted with the full exhaust system here, I'm going for an Allison engine, and a P39 ?

 

[Geedee]

Its not an Allison, or a P39.

Its a post war tail dragger

 

[Airframes]

Me brain's already boiling !!!!

 

[Njaco]

Its the church organ at Winchester Cathedral.

 

[rochie]

a westland wyvern engine ?
hey Dogsbody i like the pic of the hind with that good looking bloke stood in front !!!!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It's a Griffin motor by RR.(at least that's what I think it is cause I've seen them on the European Tractor Pulling Vids) As to the aircraft I'm stumped.
