The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Sorry, neither of the "Evil Empires" were involved in it's manufacture

 

[Airframes]

It's the latest BBC transmitter aerial.

 

[norab]

Kamen Huskie?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Norab has it! The US Navy version of the Kaman "Huskie" the HUK-1 (UH-43C). Good one!

 

[Airframes]

B*gg*r ! I was going to suggest that, but got confused between Kamov and Huskie !!

 

[norab]

didn't realize till now how much the tail looked like newer Russians. Here we go

 

[Airframes]

Fairly sure I'm wrong, but I'll guess at Grumman Avenger ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Or could it be the Devastator?

 

[norab]

Nope, not a torpedo bomber

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It's a small tail dragger, like a Cessna, kinda old, painted up in Navy prewar neutral colors. I've seen it recently but can't remember the make. CRAP!

 

[norab]

tain't a Cessna

 

[Geedee]

its not a Cessna, the float plane in the background was a bit of a clue....its the 'Lake Tahoe Special (Republic RC-3 Seabee )

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Or a Stinson.

 

[norab]

Sea Bee it is

 

[Geedee]

She was called the Lake Tahoe Special following an accident where she ended up sinking !

Try this flashy one

 

[DFM+BB]

Hi guys ! I finally came back form paradise !
If any of you goes to Brasil I recommend you the city of Paraty, a nice preserved historical little town.
Paraty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And yes I've lost myself by mistake deep into the jungle by night...in a regular car (not a 4x4)...what a nightmare !
Now I better understand troops lost into the asian Jungle during WWII (with a little more comfort sitting in my car).

So getting back to the game, I would start by a Gloster Gladiator ?

 

[Catch22]

Almost looks like it could be a Zero, but I'm fairly certain I'm wrong.

 

[Airframes]

I was going to offer Gladiator too, but something tells me it isn't .....

 

[Bob_Semple_Airplane]

Ki 45?

 

[Geedee]

So getting back to the game, I would start by a Gloster Gladiator ?

I'm impressed....I was kinda thinking that some-one would have picked up on the 'flashy' hint and go straight in with Lightning !

I was epically wrong !

Its the good old Gladiator, well done dude
