The What is it? Game

B-23 Dragon?

Good spot Jim...and no clues given either, top marks dude !

Yup, this is the Dragon at the CAF Midland airfield.

 

[Airframes]

Good one, and well done Jim. I wouldn't have got that one - haven't even heard of it !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Meeeeee neeber. Excellent job Jim!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thanks guys, sorry for the delay (again) will post tomorrow!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Try this one on for size?

 

[Tankworks]

FA 330 autogyro?

 

[vikingBerserker]

I think that's it as well.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Damn! Spot on Tank! Would post the whole picture, but that's it! All the way back from 1993....

 

[GrauGeist]

wow! Good call, I would have never guessed that...way to go!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done Tanks

 

[Tankworks]

Thankyou, try this one...

 

[KiwiBiggles]

Airspeed Ambassador (or Elizabethan in BEA service)

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great looking plane! I understand there is only one left?

 

[Tankworks]

Almost as pretty as the Connie, over to you, Kiwi'.

 

[Airframes]

Ah! The lovely 'Lizzy'! I remember those with affection from the 1960s, when BKS and Dan Air operated them from Newcastle., BKS retaining most of the BEA colour scheme.
There's an ex- Dan Air Ambassador at Duxford, the one they used for freight, with the enlarged rear door, currently under restoration.

 

[KiwiBiggles]

From the aesthetically sublime to the ridiculous. This has to be one of the all-time ugliest tails.

 

[Tankworks]

North American AJ 'Savage' ?

 

[GrauGeist]

...This has to be one of the all-time ugliest tails.

Oh no, there were quite a few others out there that had uglier tails...

That's a North American AJ-1 Savage

 

[KiwiBiggles]

That was quick, Tank.

I really think that's an ugly plane. Amazing that the same team could turn out the beautiful F-86, and at the same time the AJ-1 and the hideous B-45 Tornado. Although you have to admire the name; moving on from their previous attack aircraft (Apache) to Savage makes you wonder what they had in mind next.

Anyway, over to you, Tank

I forgot to type the -1, take it if you want, Grau'.
