The What is it? Game

[wuzak]

Curtiss XP-60?

 

[Geedee]

Martin Mauler ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Neither of the two...

 

[wuzak]

F8F?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Nope. Not that either. I think the paint might be leading you down the wrong path...

 

[Geedee]

That was a good teaser, caused lots of head-scratching it did !!!

Brewster XA32 ?

 

[Geedee]

Bump...

 

[Graeme]

Bump...

G'day Gary. Nicely done with the Brewster mate - a quick google and image search finds Jim's photo. Dunno where Jim is but we seem to be stalled here, so I for one suggest you carry on and post the next puzzler.

Cheers.

 

[GrauGeist]

I second Graeme's motion...and good eye on that Brewster!

 

[Geedee]

it certainly took some thinking and digging to find that one out , Good one Jim

Russian ?

Beardmore Inflexible?

[Capt. Vick]

Oh! Sorry guys! I honestly thought I said Gary got it right. Damn. Asleep at the switch again!

 

[Geedee]

I see Graeme also subscribes to 'Wheel Spotters Monthly' magazine (its very good...really ! )

Yup, its the almighty Inflexible, over to you mate

Thanks Gary. Yep, been collecting Wheel Spotters Monthly for over 50 years now - never miss an issue. The Inflexible was featured in the March issue this year - but you know that.

For those who don't subscribe, it took 70 lbs of air to fill the buggers...

Hope you don't have the January '62 issue, which featured this one...

I was thinking of Buccaneer nose gear, but the pattern of the wheel isn't right for that.

 

[Geedee]

Spotter !

There I am, rooting thru' back issues and Terry beat me to it !!

 

[Graeme]

G'day Terry. I can't account for the different tread, but Wheel Spotters Monthly assures me it is indeed the Buccaneer's nose-wheel.

Well done mate!

 

[GrauGeist]

Dang, that Inflexible's main wheel is about as big as the B-19's (height-wise)

 

[Airframes]

Well blow me down with a tyre inflator - I was right !

My most recent copy of Wheel Spotter Monthly was eaten by a passing Hippocroccofrog, so a bit of a change from wheels. Try this one ..........
