The What is it? Game (2 Viewers)

[Airframes]

I thought it might be when I saw the first shot, but it was the position and angle of the exhaust in the second pics which convinced me.
OK, this one is slightly sneaky, so ask, if you want some clues to prevent stringing it out - someone should bag it easily enough though.

Swordfish ?

 

[meatloaf109]

Is that shot up-side down?

 

[Airframes]

Was it the cryptic 'semi concealed' clues that did it?
Yep, it's the Fairey Swordfish at Duxford, in a colour scheme and equipment fit not often associated with the type.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Awesome pic!

 

[GrauGeist]

Wow...some pretty cool challenges, congrats to Terry for the Mossie and that's a scheme I've never seen before on the Swordfish (then again, I haven't been to Duxford, either!)

 

[norab]

On my tablet now, so I will post later. It was the combination of exhaust collector ring radome
that tipped me off. The Swordfish was the only bird I could think of with that setup.

 

[Airframes]

Good going - I thought maybe I'd given it away with 'stringing it out' and 'should bag it' - Stringbag.

 

[norab]

OK, lets see what can be done with this one

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Forward wing slats, just not sure what craft.

 

[norab]

WW II era if that helps

 

[Grampa]

Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe perhaps?

 

[meatloaf109]

It's a shoulder wing, I would say He.162, but the engine would be up there above it. And I'm not sure the 162 had slats.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Grampa beat me to it.

 

[GrauGeist]

That has to be the outboard section of the wing of a '262, at the the engine fairing...and it looks to be the starboard wing from this angle.

 

[Airframes]

I think you're right. If not a '262, then the Czech-built Avia machine.

 

[norab]

Grandpa has it, the two seater at Delaware valley

 

[Grampa]

Ok here's mine

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great Guess Grampa! (GGG!)

Hawker Fury? (If there was such a plane...)

 

[Grampa]

that whas sudden death for me Capt. vic, it's the Fury right.
