The What is it? Game

[Robert Porter]

GAL 56?

 

[Graeme]

I'll go a little higher - GAL 61......

 

[Capt. Vick]

You got it Graeme!

 

[Robert Porter]

Well dang, I was close, but as they say no cigar...

 

[Graeme]

Robert - you were on the right path, so please, have a cigar and post the next quiz photo. Cheers!

On the subject of the GAL 61 - here's an interesting photo showing how it controlled yaw - using drag bars that slid in and out, quaintly called "Trafficators"....

(Note also the futuristic looking Planet Satellite in the background)

[Capt. Vick]

Well will you look at that!

 

[Graeme]

OK then - time to move on with something a little different...

 

[Graeme]

And it must be time to ditch this one - a casualty of the '57 White Paper - the Saunders-Roe SR.177.

Open House.

I'm thinking it may be time to put this thread to bed. There has been very little activity over recent months. Its had a good run but interest is beginning to thin-out.

Only a suggestion

Be a shame to see it go - but let's see what others think.

Meanwhile, here's a little one to keep it going .............

Hi Terry.

Ryan?
PT-16?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Looks like it...

 

[Airframes]

Yep - I didn't think it would take long to get it !

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Terry.

Hi Gary.
I wouldn't get too disheartened mate - ID threads like this one tend to fluctuate in interest over time, so I'd just leave it as a "sticky" - especially since the moderators were kind enough to make it one. No harm in leaving it there.

Moving on....

 

[Geedee]

Was only a thought

This one looks like a C119 Flying Boxcar with a bad case of ' the Moth

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I see no reaso to get rid of it.

On that note, participation as a whole in the entire forum is down. It is a shame. I think our lil home is dying Unfortunate, but a forum is only as strong as it's members make it.

 

[Graeme]

Gary - not the Boxcar - but you're very close....
The 37mm round severely injured the pilot.

 

[Airframes]

I thought it might have been a 'Boxcar' too - but maybe a C-123 Fairchild Provider ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Rage against the dying of the light my friends...

Fairchild C-82 Packet?
