Batmobile????

 

[Waynos]

I'm glad my quest for the wierdness factor paid off, after the bafflement you buggers have given me

Its really a much more mundane aircraft than you seem to be imagining. Maybe it helps if I say its not facing towards you, but away from you?

 

[Airframes]

I think it's the soft-edged, uneven crop which is throwing us all !

 

[Smoke]

C-130?

 

[Waynos]

Not the C-130 but along the right lines. Think a little smaller, and not American

The crop I ended up with was the only one I tried that wasn't instantly recognisable, it is a really distinctive and well known type. In constant use since 1960, in many different variations, at least one of which is a blatant copy made in another country.

 

[jamierd]

transaal ?

 

[Waynos]

Not that, but you are on the right landmass.

 

[Smoke]

Antonov An-10/12?

 

[Waynos]

Very warm, but you are still thinking too big.


That's GOT to do it, hope you see the hint in time smokes

 

[Smoke]

Antonov An-26?

 

[Grampa]

Antonov An-26?

 

[Waynos]

You're both right, but smoke was first! It is an An-26 of the Czech air force that visited waddo in 2008

 

[Smoke]

That's a nice plane. I especially like the aircraft silhouettes on the tail.

Anyway, here's another one, it shouldn't be to hard...

 

[T Bolt]

TBF/TBM Avenger?

 

[Smoke]

Darn, that was fast...

It is a TMB Avenger, taken at an airshow in Colorado last year.

It's all yours T Bolt!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dam Glenn, that was impressive!

 

[Airframes]

It bl**dy was ! Nice going Glenn. Regarding the Antonov - no wonder I was stumped, I was looking at the blackness of the shadow in the tailgate!! You tricky so and so Waynos mate !

 

[T Bolt]

It was early war navy intermediate blue with a black wing walk so there weren't that many possibilities. I just had to figure out which possibility did not have a wing fillet, and than which one of those had a slope to the wing that matched.

Next up:

 

[Airframes]

I'm not sure, but DC3/C47 ?

 

[Lucky13]

PBY Catalina
