The What is it? Game

[ScreamingLighting]

It is French, and has a fixed undercarriage that is your first hint.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think you got it Graeme.

 

[ScreamingLighting]

No, it's not by DB. Here is the picture less cropped

Thread seems to be stuck on this one. How about Dewoitine D.30?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Mr. Pearce, I do believe you got it. But I could be wrong.

 

[ScreamingLighting]

It is indeed the d30. Sorry for going AWOL, but I'm back.

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Sorry

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Oops

 

[WJPearce]

Here is the complete Dewoitine D.30

And here is the next challenge.

Hi Bill.

Is it cropped from the Curtiss XF6C-6?

 

[WJPearce]

*picks up jaw from the floor*

Well done Graeme! Yes, it is the Curtiss XF6C-6.

*hits "Post" as he storms off thinking "next time, next time"*

 

[vikingBerserker]

That was impressive!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

YES...............................................................................................................................................IT WAS!

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Hot damn!

Graeme is among the ranks of Gary, Terry and a few others who can look at the head of a rivet and tell you not only the type of aircraft it belongs to, but the date and time it was made, what the riveter had for lunch and what color their car is...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Totally agree

 

[Graeme]

Thanks guys - thanks Bill, but I got lucky with that one. Spent a bit of time looking at French machines to start with.

Something a bit more modern...

 

[ScreamingLighting]

The Aermacchi MB-339 jet trainer?

 

[Graeme]

Sorry SL, not from Italy, but it is European.
