[Capt. Vick]

Nope, it's French (Hint #2)

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it's French - but without looking it up, I can't remember the bl**dy title!
EDIT: Fairly sure it's from the Sud-Aviation stable too, before the Caravelle, but still can't remember the designation. Maybe when I get back from the air show tomorrow, I might cheat slightly and look in one of my books - I couldn't possibly stoop so low to use 'Google'!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Well here is the whole picture...anyone?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Sorry Capt. Vick, I have been searching and can find nothing that even remotely looks like that.

 

[Capt. Vick]

It is a Le SO-30N n° 02 F-BAYB...

Try this:

 

[HotelAlpha200]

Actually looks like a Douglas...

I think specifically it is a C-54 or DC-4.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Sorry, not a Douglas...

 

[HotelAlpha200]

Can you give a hint, pretty please?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Sure, only one was made (as far as I know) and it evidently died in Mogadishu, Somalia...thought it may not have been called that at the time. (...and i may have spelled it wrong!)

 

[Capt. Vick]

OK...another clue...It's Italian

 

[Capt. Vick]

OK this has gone on long enough. It's a Breda Zappata BZ308.

Try this one:

 

[Airframes]

A Cant of some type?

 

[A4K]

A mess in any case... Catalina tail, Argosy twin fuse, B-17 undercarriage, Skyraider engine... I'm guessing a Douglas, Boeing or Lockheed headache.

 

[Capt. Vick]

No on both counts gentlemen

 

[B-17engineer]

Burnelli CBY-3?

 

[Airframes]

Or a Boelas Argoliberfortalina .........

 

[Capt. Vick]

And the young buck gets it! Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster

Sorry Terry... Only points for what it WAS called, not what it SHOULD have been called!

Have a great WE everyone!

 

[Airframes]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It is a Vickers Viking. Might I suggest that you change captions before uploading your clues and since I had an unfair advantage that you post a new challenge
