wow! Cool!

The thinly veiled hint at "Waltzing Matilda" was a big help, but even with my rushing to the books to eyeball CAC aircraft, I had a little doubt with my Whirraway suggestion! The Wheel cover was throwing me off the track

Ok, so here's the next challenge. It seems if I post anything with a rivet in it, you guys nail it within a few minutes...so this clue has no rivets in it!

 

[norab]

OK as promised

and a little better looking

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done Dave and great pic norab.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Fatman?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

F-14?

 

[GrauGeist]

Fatman?

F-14?

No to all, but it is a relatively modern aircraft and it's still in use.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

F-16?

 

[GrauGeist]

F-16?

Nope, but it is a twin-engine type

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok. F-15.

 

[GrauGeist]

Not an F-15 although it is just about as old, service-wise.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

F-111?

 

[GrauGeist]

Nope...not a swing-wing!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

US ?

 

[GrauGeist]

It is American

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, going out on a limb. A-10.

 

[GrauGeist]

Whoever said that persistence doesn't pay off? It is, in fact, the A-10

Well done, Aaron!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I can be that if nothing else. Ok, I gotta go find something to post. I am running out of photos.
Ok. Let's try this one.

Good one on the Wirraway Norab and Dave. Norab, was that first pic of the unrestored aircraft taken at Morabbin in Melbourne? It looks like it by the Firefly in the background. If it is Morabbin, that's the oldest surviving Wirraway and the wing sticking out at right is their Beaufighter.

Well done on the A-10 Aaron. I can't identify the aeroplane, but its definitely a round engined something or rather and the prop is a Hamilton Standard or de Havilland Hydromatic propeller. Possibly a PW-1830 or something like that, Wright Cyclone maybe?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You are correct on the prop Nuuumannn. Hamilton Standard.

 

[nuuumannn]

Well, that narrows it down a bit! You couldn't offer us more of a clue as to the airframe, could you Aaron?
