The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Nice one Gary!

 

[T Bolt]

Very good Gary!

 

[andy2012]

Great job!

 

[Geedee]

Cheers guys.

I do pop-in every now and then and have a look to see what devilment you're upto . I'm kinda busy at the moment so dont get the chance to spend much time with you

Anyway, have a go at this one. I was surprised to see it !!

And a bonus point if you can tell what the 'thingy' is used for !

 

[Airframes]

Pure guess - Fairey Battle, and undercart retraction crank? But I have a feeling that seat harness is American - so I'm wrong!

 

[norab]

Wildcat landing gear extension retraction crank?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think Norab has it. Not sure though.

 

[GrauGeist]

No no...if it was a Wildcat, Terry would have gotten it right away

 

[Geedee]

Terry's sanity is intact...its not a Wildthingy or a Battle.

It is American in origin...it did fly with other Airforces...and it is the manual undercart arm exerciser for the dude flying her

A number have been used for racing and two even had swept wings fitted for research !!

 

[wuzak]

P-39?

 

[woljags]

could be P39 as there is a tunnel under the seat in the photo

 

[wuzak]

I've changed my mind - it's a P-63!

"A number have been used for racing and two even had swept wings fitted for research"

 

[Geedee]

You got it dude, well done.

Doesn't she look a beast ?.

 

[Airframes]

Good one Gary, and well done Wuzak.

That it does.

 

[wuzak]

This may be an easy one....

Not so much an aircraft.

 

[Geedee]

R4360 ?...attached to a Connie perhaps ?

Thought it was a bit easy.

Not attached to anything, though.

And Connies had R-3350s.

I have a near identical pic . She's at the Wright Patterson experimental museum ?

Have a stretch at this one chaps...
