T6/Texan/Harvard.

Not a NAA product

Its a twin

 

[Waynos]

Could it be.....an Il-14?

Could it be.....an Il-14?

I like your thinking, but I'm afraid not.

 

[Waynos]

will there be hints on Sunday?

 

[ccheese]

Don't think it's US made, if so, it's early. Those exposed rivets would cause some drag.

SNB/C-45 ????

Absolutely !.

Its not a SNB / C45

Its a tail dragger, its a twin, its American, it has a nautical knickname

 

[Airframes]

The nautical nickname has thrown me a bit. I can only think of two possibilities at the moment. My first one is C46 Commando.

 

[ccheese]

The nautical nickname throws me. "Neptune" comes to mind, but that's got a nose wheel.

I still think it's early US made.

You got it dude !.

C46 Curtiss Coimmando, knickname 'The Whale' !.

Taken at the CAF Airsho in 2008

Ah! it was the tail. Very tricky Gary!

 

[Airframes]

Wow! More of an 'educated guess' really. I thought the chord was too narrow for the main wing, and went for the tailplane, then looked at the mass of the thing and plumped for the C46. I'd forgotten it was nicknamed 'Whale' !
Back in a bit with something.

Should be straightforward, but perhaps not as obvious as you might think.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Avro Vulcan?

 

[vikingBerserker]

That was nice Gary.

F 4

 

[Smoke]

F-15.

English Electric Lightning

Unusual with the 'flat plate' across the top of the engine. I dont think its a single engined jobbie because the bodywork would follow the exhaust profile, so that makes me think its a side by side installation. Now why would there be a flat across the top unless the engines where mounted just uderneath the wing instead of in pods.

Ok, yup...errrrrr....Comet ?, no, that has a curvy profile...Victor, nope hang on a minute, I reckon its an Olympus from Concorde

I thought the 'flat plate' might have made some guess at the F86 Sabre. But it is, in fact, the E.E. Lightning F1, so Glenn gets it.
