Good one Grampa, and well done Jim. That must have been a rare find in the desert after all those years.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thanks Terry! In my defense I did just read an article in an old Air Enthusiast so there's that.... Anyhow, i will post one later today. Stay tuned!

 

[Capt. Vick]

What are these guys building here?

 

[Airframes]

It looks like the HAL factory in India, and I've seen the type before, but have no idea what it's called.

 

[Capt. Vick]

WOW Terry! You never cease to amaze with what is in that old head of yours! Almost there....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Ok..ah well...if anyone cares, they are Harlow PC-5A's. Guess I still go huh? Will try to post something easier later...

 

[Airframes]

Darn! I thought, as it was the first type produced by HAL, it might be the PC-5A, but for some reason I thought it looked completely different, and I was trying to think which Commonwealth design it might be based on!
I guess it's a good idea sometimes to go with first thoughts!
BTW, it looks like the same workshop is still being used, as nearly all 'promo' pictures from HAL over the years look to have been taken in the same place!
OK, let' see what tricky little blighter you spring on us next !!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Stranger in a strange land? (The one to the left, can you ID it? Amazing it survived as long as it did huh?)

I forgot where I got this picture...off the internet somewhere...

 

[wuzak]

Heinkel He 112?

 

[Capt. Vick]

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! The man from Hobart again! Cool picture huh? A Heinkel He 112 in Japan AFTER the war!

 

[Airframes]

I looked at that, and thought 'Nah, it can't be ...' !! Good one, and well done.

 

[wuzak]

Try this one

 

[rochie]

looks like the front end of a Wildcat ?

 

[norab]

TBM or TBF Avenger?

 

[Airframes]

Corsair.

 

[meatloaf109]

TBM or TBF Avenger?

Definately!

 

[Capt. Vick]

I'm gonna say a Brewster of some sort...Brewster SB2A Buccaneer?

 

[wuzak]

TBM or TBF Avenger?

Norab has it

 

[norab]

Okay Here we go

 

[Airframes]

Looks like a Beaufighter's landing gear, although not quite right somehow, and I don't know of any currently taxiable.
