The What is it? Game

[Graeme]

Gary - not the Boxcar - but you're very close....

Hmmmmm.....may have phrased that poorly. I meant to say it's very similar in appearance to the Boxcar.
But nothing from Fairchild.

 

[Graeme]

Actually, I don't know what the hell I'm doing!
Apologies to all concerned - you boys were all on track.
For some reason I thought I got that from an article dealing with the Nord Noratlas.

Sorry Gary - you were spot on with the Boxcar on the previous page. Shot at by the Vietminh on April 23rd 1954.

Cheers mate!

Let's get this going again.
This one probably won't take long to get .....

 

[Graeme]

Sorry Terry - didn't notice your post till now.
But now that I have - sadly no idea. Is it from WW2?

 

[Airframes]

Not WW2, but it could easily be mistaken for a type from that period. It's got one engine, with a prop, and it's big .....

 

[Graeme]

Hi Terry.
I've drawn a blank with British aircraft. European?
Gotta ask - is that the exhaust? Prop to the left?

I'm stumped on this one.

AN-2?
grasping at straws here...

That's it...

Look at the left side of a cowling on an An-2

Yep, it's an AN-2, this one at Oostwold, Netherlands, on June 5th this year.

Are those paper poppies?

 

[herman1rg]

Hmm, something from Omaka?

Clues ?

Are those paper poppies?

Hmm, something from Omaka?

Yes, and Yes

 

[Clayton Magnet]

Is it an Avro Anson?

 

[Clayton Magnet]

It looks like it could be where the rudder meets the vertical stab

 

[gumbyk]

Is it an Avro Anson?

Yep, the results of a poppy drop. It was surprising just how far embedded the poppies were into the panels. We couldn't pull them out without opening the panels first/
