The What is it? Game

[DFM+BB]

Not modern Capt' !
WWII British single engined...

I think the point of view of the pic is the main problem for all of you my friends.
You should think as if you were in a Bf109....

 

[T Bolt]

Defiant?

 

[DFM+BB]

Nope sorry TBolt
Airframes was close but he was just replying about the bolt used so.......
And I do like the version if possible

 

[Airframes]

Still can't see the 'law', or 'Thatcher' connection, which confuse me, but I think it's a Spitfire MkVb, the rear of the engine cowling, at the joint of the upper fuel tank cover.

 

[DFM+BB]

Yes Airframes !!!!
You got it MkVb (this one is four bladed still don't get it ).
As far as I can remember Miss Tatcher made the Spitfire an historical heritage that belongs to the UK no matter who owns it ; or is it an urban ledgend ?
If this is a ledgend sorry about the wrong clue !

Original picture see what I meant about the unusual point of view ?

So, I am coming back in France in June, so just contact me if you still want a free Beer

 

[Airframes]

Great pic! Haven't heard that about Thatcher, but could be right.
I aim to be passing through Dunkirk, then Belgium, en-route to the Czech Republic in August, so you can leave a beer at the frontier for me!!
OK, have a stab at this one - shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[DFM+BB]

Looks like an F4u1-D (early version with the hole in the flap ) right ?
I suspect this one to belong to a Sir based in Duxfor ?

August then !

Also coming up with an easy one to be forgiven for the previous one

 

[Airframes]

Yep, Corsair at Duxford, and that's the P-47 D 'razorback', also at DX I suspect..

 

[DFM+BB]

Yes this is the Jug from Duxford !
This picture was given by a friend of mine, so credits goes to him.

Hummmm I can follow up on the "what is it ? game " on your last picture I see (obviously) the Grumman Marlet, the teriffic P40, and what I suspect to be a Spitfire rear far right.
No ?

 

[Airframes]

Yep, there's one of the Spits there somewhere, and I'd recognise that DX background anywhere!
OK, another one which might - or might not - be very easy.

 

[T Bolt]

F-100

 

[DFM+BB]

F-100

Yes I am thinking the same thing.

 

[Airframes]

I knew it wouldn't last long! Yes, it's the distinctive heat effect at the tail end of a F-100, this one at the Midland Air Museum.

 

[T Bolt]

Yes, I knew what it was as soon as I saw that heat scorching and rivet pattern.
The pics have been getting rather tricky lately so here's another tricky one.

 

[DFM+BB]

Don't ask me why but I am thinking about the CorsairII.
I know this is probably not that, but I just woke up pleeeassse be indulgent

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Corsair II but was used in the Vietnam War

 

[DFM+BB]

Another wild guess : Thunderchief ?

 

[T Bolt]

Nope not a thunderchief

 

[Grampa]

Douglas B-26K Counter Invader?

 

[DFM+BB]

Hummmm not 100% sure but it seems we got a winner
Waiting for Tbolt answer.
