The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Nope, not that

 

[Graeme]

Hi Jim.

French?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Hi Graeme, sorry, not French. Think re-purposed glider a la Go 242 to Go 244.

 

[Graeme]

Thanks for the tip Jim - I investigated the 244 earlier, nothing fitted. But it looks like a Gnome-Rhone engine, so I got sidetracked looking at rare French transports.

German?
Was the Gotha-Kalkert Ka 430 ever fitted with engines? I keep looking at the nose-wheel - wouldn't be too many WW2 era gliders that used them?

 

[CommanderBounds]

This aircraft is definitely the Ki=105 "Otori" tanker-glider-thingy. I was looking at it over and over again and I just now noticed the cockpit windows and nosewheel were extremely similar.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Bingo! And I don't even have to post the plane! All yours amigo... Was kind of looking forward to Graeme posting some obscure french transport though...

 

[CommanderBounds]

Same here Jim. Alright this one is again obscure and really ugly so keep that in mind!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Su-2 or Neiman N-1?

 

[CommanderBounds]

Nope, BUT It is Russian though so you're on the right track.

 

[norab]

PE-8 ?

 

[GrauGeist]

how about the Sukhoi Su-6?

 

[Graeme]

You were right about it being obscure.
Kochyerigin LBsh?

 

[Airframes]

Obscure and ugly ? Got to be from the French subsidiary of Blackburn then !

 

[CommanderBounds]

Graeme I don't even know how you ever could've found that. Good job!

 

[GrauGeist]

wow...great job, Graeme!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dam dude, NICE!

 

[Graeme]

Graeme I don't even know how you ever could've found that. Good job!

Thanks Commander. Would never have found it if you hadn't provided the Russian clue. Cheers!

Next one...

 

[norab]

OK I'll bit Mig 17 ?

 

[Graeme]

Not a MiG-17....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great guess Graeme!

Is this one Argentine?
