What are you sitting in there Gary? Mustang?

Yup , I am indeedy. Need to change it to one of me sat in my '51 !

 

[wuzak]

Well I can't, but....

What are you sitting in there Gary? Mustang?

Put me down for a Mustang wuzak...

Yes, it is from a Mustang!

It is one of teh rivets from about the "ut" in Beautiful, and just below where the green is painted.

And this, folks, is absolute proof that some of the guys can ID an aircraft by a rivet...

Well done, Graeme!

 

[Graeme]

One for the more advanced.
(I wanted to see if people could ID a plane by its rivets. Probably a bit blurry though.)

Gary has the floor after recognising your "Bell Bit", but in the meantime I've got a return rivet challenge for ya....I left one uncovered.

Spitfire?

To be honest, I don't have a clue. I am not very good at rivet spotting.

 

[wuzak]

Sorry, double post.

That's OK mate - neither am I.

For what it's worth the green rivets and the man looking at the rivets - they all belong to the North American Texan. The taped one belongs to a Reno racing Texan whose owner/pilot believes that taping those rivets represents an extra 1/500 mph...

Now, we're waiting for Gary...

P-39?

[GrauGeist]

Ah yes, I must have overlooked that...

Well, not bad shooting, though - the AT-6 is by North American, I guessed Bell and Aaron guessed Lockheed so at least we were all within the correct continent

[Graeme]
