Crickey...you could hear a pin drop on this thread !. Wassup guys ?.

AW, your turn dude

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think AirWolf forgot about this thread so if it's ok I'll post one. If he comes back he's more than welcome to jump in and post a photo. I'm just trying to keep it going.

 

[Airframes]

Don't think I'm right, but it looks a bit like a Gloster Gladiator.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You are correct Terry, you are wrong.Sorry, couldn't resist. I have been gone to long. I 'll get my jacket.

 

[Airframes]

I thought I was right in being wrong. I'll get my coat and join you .....

 

[Geedee]

While looking around the cloakroom, I thought it looks a bit JU88ish ?

Ah...found me coat....later !

 

[Airframes]

That exposed manifold looks very familiar, but blowed of I can think what it's on. Another wrong one to try - Boeing Stearman ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Not a Stearman either.Ok, time for a hint. She has two engines.

 

[Geedee]

Its not an 88 like I first thought, its a Dakota / Skytrain / Gooney Bird / Spook !

You know like my cloakroom ticket...number 47

 

[Airframes]

I was thinking 'Dak' too, but what looks like a carb intake, below at right, didn't quite fit. I know I'll kick myself when it's eventually revealed. (anyone wanting a really good laugh, be around when I attempt to kick myself - it's hard enough trying to lift my feet to walk, so any form of kicking should be hilarious!!)

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

And Gary wins the CIGAR again. Good one sir!

 

[Airframes]

Ah b*ll*cks! I forgot about the breather on the front of the exhaust! What I thought was an intake behind the exhaust, is the cowl flap in front of it!!
Good one Gary, and Aaron.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Sorry Terry, I am having to be SNEEKIER about how I crop'em to see if I can fool some of you. It's getting tougher all the time.

 

[Airframes]

No apology needed Aaron - it was a good one, fare 'n square!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I would have NEVER gotten that one!

 

[Grampa]

me to

Don't feel bad, Aaron, I've been pretty much down to posting pics of rivets because mine (as sneaky as I try and make them) get nailed almost right off the bat...

 

[Capt. Vick]

I would have NEVER gotten that one!

Me either! I was totally thinking the wrong way! Great quiz!

 

[Geedee]

Nice one Aaron.

I reckon its getting interesting about now, certainly getting harder

 

[DFM+BB]

Junker Ju87 G !

Right side bellow between engine and wing. The welded bar is the root of the "dive bomb" rack ; the shadow is created by the engine exhaust.
And I am pretty sure this is the one exposed in RAF Hendon Uk right ?
