The What is it? Game

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have no clue, as usual.

Nice one Gary. You're right, the Comet airliner has a sleek beauty about it. Having a closer look at the image of the undercarriage, I can see a Lightning and Buccaneer in the background and in the one of the whole of Canopus I can see a Sea Vixen and the Bucc.

Here's one.

This one is based at the Cold War Jets, Bruntingthorpe. All the jets are workable and they have regular days where they fire 'em up and blast 'em down the runway....Lightnings (full reheat ) Victor, buccs etc etc.

Cessna Birddog ?

 

[nuuumannn]

Gettin' warmer, Gary...

 

[Geedee]

Thinking it might be Cessna Skymaster, but it hasn't got the baffles by the light unit so that rules out the black COIN versions ....dunno !

 

[nuuumannn]

Nope, but in the right ball park...

I have no clue, as usual.

C'mon, Aaron, get out your copy of 'Observer's Book of Aircraft', or go down to your local airport and take a look around...

Super Skymaster?

 

[nuuumannn]

Sorry, Bill, single engined.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Cessna 172?

 

[GrauGeist]

Cessna 172?

That's a good shot, right there...I'd be real surprised if it isn't.

 

[nuuumannn]

Prepare to be surprised, Dave... it isn't. Almost there...

 

[GrauGeist]

I'll be danged, it sure looks like a 172...a 205 has more of a radius to the leading edge.

 

[GrauGeist]

Oh wait! Is that the L-3 Grasshopper?

 

[nuuumannn]

it sure looks like a 172...a 205 has more of a radius to the leading edge.

Getting real close... I can feel it, I can feel it... aah huh huh huuuh!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

L-19 Birddog?

 

[nuuumannn]

Sorry Aaron, close. It's a civilian Cessna that was also used by the military, but is in civilian service in numbers around the world still. It's not a 172.

 

[Geedee]

L-19 Birddog?

Oi !...I said that !

Methinks it might be a U-17A Skywagon (185) ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The O-1 was a Birddog to.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Maybe C- 208B?

A gnat's **** away from it, Gary, (he says shrugging his shoulders in resignation).
