F-84?

 

[T Bolt]

My eyes are sore from looking at airplane pictures on the Internet but I think I've got it!

Handley Page Hastings

 

[B-17engineer]

What am I looking at.....?

 

[Airframes]

That wheel is a bit big for an F84.
Glenn's got it, the Handley Page Hastings, a 'long range' military transport, showing it's Halifax lineage, used for troop transport and para dropping, later as a navigatonal and radar trainer, met etc.
Good going Glenn.

I had looked at the Hastings a wile back and discounted it because it looked like it had a short gear door in your pic (that's why I said B-25) but then I realized that it wasn't short, but blocked from view by the gear strut!

Next up, more landing gear. I think were stuck in a rut!

F7F Tigercat?

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Tigercat

 

[Airframes]

Tail dragger with a scoop - Twin Mustang?

 

[T Bolt]

That was fast Terry! P-82 Twin Mustang

 

[Airframes]

B*gg*r ! Now I've got to find something! Back soon !!
OK, try this one.

 

[T Bolt]

1950's jet fighter. At first I thought MiG 15 or17 but that's not right.

 

[Waynos]

FMA IA58 Pucara I reckon.

 

[Smoke]

Gloster Meteor?

 

[Airframes]

Hell's teeth! Well done Waynos! It is the Pucara. I thought people might go for Sabre, Meteor etc.
Take it away!!

 

[Waynos]

Cheers, I just remembered once being surprised to notice on a Pucara how close the gun ports were to the glass

No idea if this is easy or not, guess I'm about to find out;

 

[Airframes]

I have no idea what I'm looking at! With the image altered like that, I can't find a reference point !

 

[T Bolt]

No Clue......... I know. It's a killer whale!!!

 

[Airframes]

That's what i thought! Or a Giant Ray ! A stab in the dark, and only because of the colour - SR71 ?

 

[Waynos]

Might be a bit early for clues, but I can say there is no image trickery or funny angles at play, just a crop from a pic I took of a plane on the ground. Oh, and no, it wasn't a crash scene
