The What is it? Game

[Airframes]

It's based on this, the Hunting Percival provost T1, which was a RAF trainer from the 1950s.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes Terry, that one is definately less homely

 

[Geedee]

If its any consolation, I was convinced it was a Sea Fury minus its exhaust stubs !. It only clicked with the clue

Right enough of the horsing around, have a go at this one...

 

[Airframes]

That's an Electrolux D-1600c washing machine heat exchanger ...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'll go with Terry's guess.

[norab]

no, it's a high compression dual tennis ball launcher

 

[Geedee]

You guys are soooo close ! We should start a thread on the lines of ' A hundred and one things to do with old airplane bits', I reckon it could be quite a fun one ?

OK, you guys are looking for clues, so to buck the trend, heres a few helpfully unhelpfull (but true) clues for you to attack...

Hmmmmm....Let me see....

Oh yeah, its green
It has three wheels
it can be flown by one dude

 

[Airframes]

Methinks that possibly our Gary is being sneaky. Could it possibly be the nose wheel door on the Volksjager?

 

[Geedee]

Neigh lad, 'fraid not. Good try tho'

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It's either a just behind the nose cone or the back of a engine nacelle. As to what craft, I have no F@%$ing idea.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Meteor?

 

[Geedee]

Some lightning ideas here chaps, but I'm afraid they're way out...way out West even

I'm hoping you havent been thrown completely by this pony...

To recap, the clues to date...

[AirWolf]

P-51 mustang? or P-38
I got it from pony and lightning

 

[Geedee]

Sorry dude, not a '51 or a '38

Its a high wing with a nose wheel

 

[norab]

OV-10 Bronco ?

 

[Geedee]

Yehaaa...Errrr, sorry, yup !

Its a F@%$ing (spelt with a B) Bronco

Couldn't think of other clues that wouldn't have given it straight away

Lets have an easy one

 

[norab]

That was a challenge, here is our next beastie

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it Russian?

 

[Geedee]

Kamov Ka25 Hokum ?
