Man, you beat me by a minute, Tank...you called it, you go for it!

 

[Tankworks]

OK, here goes...

 

[Airframes]

Blohm and Voss SAAB Meteor Piaggio Mk2 ........

 

[Tankworks]

None of the above!

 

[Geedee]

Interesting shot !.

Can you post one of your own pics next time around ?. At the moment, as per the first post, we are all using where possible, shots from our own collections we have taken over the years. If you havent got any, can you let us know beforehand ?.

Meanwhile, looks like a drunk Meteor that have been having a bit of an affair with a Tiger Moth....and yup....I know....wrong !

 

[Tankworks]

OK, sorry, I missed that first post. I disqualify myself! This was the Aerocentre NC 1071.

 

[KiwiBiggles]

Sorry, I missed that post too.

Thanks for the picture though, Tank. That's a really interesting (and obscure) one. Maybe we should have a this-is-the-ugliest thread - this would be a strong contender.

Ok, I think I have been brought up to speed and I think this meets the perameters!

We have several threads for the ugliest aircraft of WWII...the most recent thread is here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/modern/ugliest-c-all-times-27942-2.html

As far as the challenge goes, looks like it's is going to a be tough one!

Doubt if I'm right, but I'll guess at Avro Lancaster - purely because of the windows - which probably are more likely to be wing access panels!

 

[Tankworks]

Not a Lanc.

 

[woljags]

short sunderland

 

[Tankworks]

Guess again!

 

[Geedee]

Looking at the general state of the airframe and the foliage behind, to me it looks like a sort of 'long lost' jungle wreck. Initial thoughts where of the B17 Swamp Ghost, but now thinking about it, I reckon its a picture taken from the wing top of a Catalina, looking towards the tail. The huge row of rivets is the wing joint ?

And wether I'm right or wrong, thats just the sort of piccie that'll keep us puzzling for some time

 

[Tankworks]

Very good!

As far as I know this is still in the bush near Patricia Bay on Vancouver Island.

 

[Geedee]

Oh WOW !. If I knew there was something like that in the Woods near me...I'd be camping out each night working on her !!!. That must have been quiet an experience visiting that wreck.....not really jealous !

And you have no idea how dificult it is to find a photo of the wing top of a PBY on the World Wide Wait...once I thought I'd identified the 'plane, I even ended up looking at plastic kit instructions to try and confirm the 'plane.

That was a good one indeed. I'll put one up later for you guys.

 

[Geedee]

Right chaps, try this one....

 

[wuzak]

Right chaps, try this one....

F7F?

 

[Geedee]

Good spot dude, over to you

 

[wuzak]
