The What is it? Game (8 Viewers)

It's not one of those concept flying cars, is it? Like the Moller Skycar, although it's not one of those. Whoever made the leading edge intake lip above the fan needs a good lesson in bogging, sanding and filling.

You are getting very warm . This has been at Oshkosh in 2004 / 5 and probably later as its been cleaned up quite a bit looking at pics (not mine) on the web

Nah, can't do any better than that, Gary. Looks like a demented snow plow.

I'll accept that name !.

Its a Strong Magic Dragon Aircar...now known on the site as the demented snowplow

Kudos to the guy for getting it this far, but I personally am not quite sure it ready to go....just yet !.

Sheesh! I think you'd be pushing it if you expected us to go further with that, Gary!

Here's a propeller. What type of aeroplane is it from? This shouldn't be too hard for some of you.

 

[vikingBerserker]

WTF.................. Redneck was right!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is that a hurricane?

 

[nuuumannn]

Nyet.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Il-2?

 

[nuuumannn]

Nein.

It's N1671, the Hendon Museums Boulton Paul Defiant Mk1 taken during strip down for being carted off for restoration. I have an almost exact same shot from when I was there back in 2009

Very sneaky that one, could've been almost any Brit Warbird

 

[Capt. Vick]

And here I thought Nyet was a clue! Nice one G-Dog!

If its any consolation, I thought the same then remembered my pic...

 

[nuuumannn]

Ha ha! I knew in the right hands someone would have got it. Almost exactly the same angle as the photo I took, Gary.

And here I thought Nyet was a clue!

Must have confused you when I said "nein"!

The world's only surviving complete Defiant. Note the mannequin is wearing the unique Rhino suit parachute pack that gunners wore. This picture was taken years ago on my very first visit to Hendon. I was barely out of my teens.

Ah, in the days when you could see the exhibits in the BoB Hall, without all the arty farty graphics ans silly dim lighting !

 

[Geedee]

Interesting about the Rhino suit...didn't know about that !. Cheers for the info

Here's a very hard one for you ...then again, its probably an easy peasy one !....I may be off line for the weekend as its Flying Legends but I'll check in as and when I can.

 

[norab]

TBF or TBM Avenger ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Chipmonk?

 

[Geedee]

TBF or TBM Avenger ?

Said it was hard...or easy

it is indeed the portly Avenger.

Take it away mate

 

[Capt. Vick]

Way to go NORAB!
