The What is it? Game

[T Bolt]

Gary's cobbled together left-overs from his Mustang build?

That's just what I was thinking

 

[Geedee]

Not a Henly or Hotspur.... haven't heard those names for quite a while !!. British, 'round' engine.

 

[Grampa]

Blackburn Skua?

 

[Geedee]

Good call, but its not a Skua...Terry thought it was as well.

Final clue for the evening....and I expect you guys to get it tonight !!!....fixed undercart

 

[Airframes]

Only one I can think of which vaguely matches is the Fairey Albacore, but don't think it's that.

 

[Geedee]

Well done matey, it is indeed the Albacore !

Its smaller than a Hampden and its British
There is only one survivor. It has 2 machine guns.
it could be used as a dive bomber
It's a multi seater and looks very similar to plane that had shared the same name as a modernish jet that had great promise but was scrapped... (this was the Swordfish and that was originally to be called the TSR2 !!!)
British, 'round' engine.

Took these at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

WOW! Good one Gary! I would not have ever guessed that. And excellent deduction Terry!

 

[T Bolt]

I couldn't even tell I was looking at the canopy. Well done Terry!!

 

[Airframes]

My first thought was the Albacore, but I didn't think it had a 'flat' canopy section, until I looked at a pic of one, hence first guess being Defiant - which I thought was the replica one, not the only real one left.
OK, try this.

 

[norab]

Ki-46 Dinah?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

P-38 Droopsnoot.

 

[Airframes]

Norab has it. The last remaining Dinah, in the RAF Museum, Cosford. I was allowed close access to this aircraft to get some detail shots for Glenn, although not to the interior, as it was under refurbishment. Inside some of the opened panels was what was thought to be coral dust.

 

[norab]

alright, here's a little something

 

[Geedee]

CFM Shadow ?

 

[norab]

nope

 

[Airframes]

Some obsure ultralight I guess, but no idea what. The shape seems familiar, but then a lot of them look similar.

 

[norab]

it' s a pusher

 

[norab]

I guess it's a little devilish after all, the kind of thing Taylor made for this game

 

[norab]

Ok, It's a Taylor designed Mini Imp

How about something a little more mainstream?
