The What is it? Game (1 Viewer)

Unfortunately no correct answers. The hint is below. Also sorry GeeDee. I should probably start checking if there are rules/reading the rules before I just jump in!

Hey, no worries mate

Getting the impression its an early English passenger aircraft...around the time the Handley Page Heracles and the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy where in the circuit...looks like a shoulder mounted main wing and for some reason, I'm convinced its got exposed radials....

Yeah, I know, I'm wrong....its a modified Piper Cub

 

[CommanderBounds]

Unfortunately no exposed radial BUT It's definitely from the same decade and country as the Cub, It can carry passengers or cargo, It has a radial and it's a one-off. I kinda narrowed it down alot but this one is so difficult I forgot the name of it for a few days!

What ?????...you mean you forgot the Kreider-Reisner XC-31 !!!!

This one was also known as the Fairchild XC-31

And I was totally wrong, it wasn't an early English airliner !!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I do believe Gary got it!

 

[CommanderBounds]

Kreider-Reisner is kinda hard to remember (at least in the spelling department!) I narrowed it down quite a bit as I was worried no one would get it and Aaron you're right, GeeDee got that one!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Can we see a picture of it?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Here you go.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Now that is an interesting looking bird!

 

[Capt. Vick]

I agree!

 

[GrauGeist]

Looks like an AN-2 that lost it's lower wing...

 

[norab]

Bump

 

[Geedee]

Nuuumans busy looking for a real hard one !

 

[GrauGeist]

lol...yep

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yeah he usually puts some brain busters out there

 

[Geedee]

Reckon Nuuumannn must be on his hols, so I've added this one to keep the balls running.

As is the norm, I've been real sneaky and using selective cropping, I haven't included the whole plane....heck, even one of the ground-crew is hiding their face !!!. Hope I haven't made it too hard for ya as there'll be Harley any clues

 

[norab]

I'm thinking something along the lines of a 36D maybe a DD

 

[Capt. Vick]

G-Dog in the House!

 

[Geedee]

"Jeez...these guys are s'posed to be good and they can't even ID that plane thing we wuz stood next to!. Its a good job they can't read the tank on our Harley !!"

Well, I can't really say the usual one...'Bump !

 

[nuuumannn]

I saw six...

Been a bit busy, studying for exams and writing stuff as well.

I usually post my own photos if I can, but I thought I'd be a bit mean spirited and post this one, about which I recently bought a book, although that's no real clue. It's a biplane built during WW1, but used afterwards.
