Consolidated TBY?

Bristol 138 ?

 

[Graeme]

is it an American aircraft?

Negative. So nothing from Consolidated Dave.

Bristol 138 ?

Not from Bristol Norab. In fact - not a British aircraft.

The image is from a YouTube clip.

Hmmm...perhaps I'll have to go back and get all squinty-eyed on that photo...

Is it by any chance, a Russian aircraft?

Yeah, have a closer look mate. In the meantime here's a silhouette of it in flight. Not Russian, but you're getting close to the country concerned.

Swedish J-22?

 

[Graeme]

Not from Sweden Aaron.

Have a look at Lithuania...

[Capt. Vick]

WHAT is that?

 

[wuzak]

The clue about being close to Russia had me looking at Latvia for some reason, but the Lituania clue led me straight to it.

I have no ideas at the moment, so somebody else can have a go.

 

[GrauGeist]

Ok, the ANBO...good challenge and people talk about rare aircraft...that was the only one made. Such a shame the Russians used it for target practice

 

[Capt. Vick]

Can we get a picture?

 

[GrauGeist]

Can we get a picture?

Sure

The ANBO VIII wasn't a bad looking aircraft and from what I've read, a decent handling machine.

 

[Graeme]

It's a fun thread, so to keep it moving...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

 

[Capt. Vick]

1956 Buick Skylark hood ornament?

 

[Graeme]

I'll speed this up then...

 

[KiwiBiggles]

Actually, I'd assumed it was symmetrical. But that's as far as I got.
