The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Damn Graeme! You got it right off! And yes, thank you, I am feeling better.

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Jim. Apologies for the delay.
This one should be easy...

 

[Geedee]

Yak 3 ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Gary, I think you have it sir but not sure.

 

[Geedee]

Gary, I think you have it sir but not sure.

Not so sure now Brooks, the wing root fairings look Yak'ish but not sure about the exhaust spacing or what appears to be a cannon poking through the end of the prop spinner...Starter aid ?

 

[GrauGeist]

Dewoitine D.520?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Caudron c. 714?

 

[Graeme]

Not a Yak Gary, but that is a 20mm cannon on the nose. Dave and Jim - it's not French...

 

[Geedee]

My other thought was its a Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 ?

 

[Graeme]

Hi Gary. This aircraft is not from the USSR.

Time for a bigger slice...

 

[norab]

Rogozarski IK-3 ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

A Czech design maybe?

 

[Graeme]

Rogozarski IK-3 ?

Spot on norab - over to you sir!

[Capt. Vick]

Wow! Well done amigo!

 

[norab]

thanks Capt., on to our next puzzle

 

[Capt. Vick]

Reminds me of the Grumman O -1 Mohawk

 

[norab]

nope not a Mohawk

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it a helicopter?

 

[wuzak]

Is it a helicopter?

I was thinking the same.

Thought it might have been the Lockheed XH-51.

It has a bar down the middle of the screen, but transparent lower part of the nose, rather than the solid nose shown.

 

[GrauGeist]

Almost looks like a Piaggio (modern - not WWII) floatplane...
