The What is it? Game

[DFM+BB]

For the Quizz I'll try a wild guess (following Aaron guess) but I'll go for a B17. I am pretty sure I am 100% wrong but worth the try.

Capt ! you've been there ! how was it ? I am planning to go there.

Not a B-24 or B-17. It's not American.

Worth the trip my friend! I remember it being called something like the Technikal Museum and it wasn't huge, but that room is chock-o-block full of all manner of transportation. Planes, trains, cars...all very interesting. Now mind you this was going on 20 years ago so I don't know what it's like now. I at least hope it has a better gift shop! All they had was a pitiful soviet era hold-over! Hahahaha. Also I would recommend going to the airplane museum at Kebly(?) IIRC. I have never been, but I hear it's great. Oh and do try the local beer! Best I ever had.

Sorry for hijacking the thread for a minute guys...

Hummm this is my Avatar's good old enemy friend's the Spitfire view from the back rear window right ?

Capt ! you are right there is also this museum as I know they have post war Avia/Messerschmitt 109262 ( single and double seater ) definitely got to go there !
I am just coming back from a Brazilian Beer session ( most commonly know as : a Bar ! btw I'll surely impress myself tomorrow morning if it is a Spit in the quizz judging by my current state); and I'll take you advice in consideration about local beer also !

Museum discussion is over ; sorry guys ! hope this could motivate some of you to go to this museum too !

 

[Airframes]

No problem with hijacking when discussing Czech beer! I'll be having a few (OK, a lot!) later this year, and might even get to visit the Museums in and near Prague on the return journey.
Very well done my friend, it is indeed the small window, behind the cockpit, on a Spitfire MkVb, this one in the colours of a Polish Squadron, at Duxford.

This is right kind of challence you gave to us Airframes and it should be always. pictures of what it is on common planes, mostly these on ww2 and on museum.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

VERY SNEAKY SIR!

 

[DFM+BB]

Grampa is right this is good way to discover famous aircraft on an other angle !
Gosh I am happy to find out about this one coming back from a bar

My dear Friends I know this is my turn, but I am going on holyday in Brazil and I am not sure I'll get access to internet ; as a result I pass my turn on this one to anywone who want to post a quizz because I am not sure I'll be here to confirm the answer if I post one.
Be my guest, I'll be back in 10 days.

Have fun my dear friends

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, to keep this going let's try this. And thank you for the opportunity sir.

 

[Geedee]

Tail bumper on a T28 ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Sh!t Gary!! I knew you get it as soon as I saw you were on! It's all yours sir! Take it away!

 

[Geedee]

Crickey Aaron, that was a half hearted guess as the pics I have of the T28 show a vertical 'face' instead of a nicely rounded one where the rudder would go...Ive added a pic that shows what I mean. I am surprised indeed

Rats....I'll have to find one now !!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Mine is of the C variant which is the Naval version with the tail hook.

 

[Airframes]

Heck, I thought it was the cylinder from the old washing machine I scrapped last week !!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Yup, I am rummaging through the dump taking photos all the time.

 

[Geedee]

Mine is of the C variant which is the Naval version with the tail hook.

Is that 'C' or 'sea' ?

Right, I've a had a furkle...or two or three !.. through the archives and thought I'd throw this one for you to guess straight away (reputations are at stake here guys ). It just missed that Last Big One !

Aaaand its a sneaky one

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Reputations? What are those? And as for the photo, I have NO idea. It's looks to be a engine nacelle but as to what it's on.........

 

[Geedee]

Reputations? What are those? :

Theys what we have to live down to...apparently

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I must have dropped way below mine.

 

[Geedee]

I said this one was sneaky....

It is a cowling....but its open

No armament but amongst other things, it was operated as a spyplane postwar.
