The What is it? Game

[magnu]

As I am at work at the mo I don't have access to any of my aircraft pics so if someone else wants a go feel free, if not I'll post one tonight when I get home

Don't mind waiting Lewis.

Is it the Emperor ??

 

[T Bolt]

Sure would! I kept looking at the tyre and the oleo arrangement, thinking "I've seen that style somewhere recently". And the bl**dy magazine with the article was only three feet away from my desk!!!

Isn't that the way it always is Terry. You never find something until you don't need it anymore. I think that's Murphy's second law, right between "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" and "Nothing is foolproof for a sufficiently talented fool"

Here you go folks

Observation blister window on the side of a Sea King.

 

[magnu]

Well done that man.

Let's hope this works - I've been having trouble getting things to work on the forum today!
Ah, it seems to have uploaded. Should be a fairly easy one I reckon.

A10 Thunderbolt II

Rhought you'd get it straight away ! Here it is.

 

[magnu]

I would have felt very dense if I hadn't got it as soon as I saw it.

Sea King fuselage roundel, with a rotor blade tip obscuring it? !!

 

[magnu]

Rats! I knew leaving the trailing edge of the rotor blade in was a mistake

 

[Airframes]

Without it, it could have been anything! But, the small amount of paint colour outside the roundel, and your location, was a bit of a clue!
I'll be back shortly with something.

 

[Airframes]

OK, try this one.

 

[B-17engineer]

Hampden Tire...that was completely random.

He111

A wild shot: Avro Lancaster wheel.

 

[Airframes]

Not a Hampden - I only know of some ssections of one of those left in existance. Not a Lanc wheel Maria, but I can see how you thought so.
Lewis is close enough. Its a Spanish, CASA-built Heinkel III (2-1111?).
Here's two pics, as the original is just a small area.

I thought it might have been the one from Duxford . It looks like they've made some good progress on it scince I last saw it sitting outside in quite a sorry state.
Unfortunately I lost all my aircraft pics in a power surge that fried my HD. so I will have to let someone else have a go.
Hopefully it won't be quite the monsoon conditions we had last year at Culdrose air day so I will be able to get some more then.
