The What is it? Game

Short Sunderland?

 

[T Bolt]

HU-16 Albatross is correct. It's Jimmy Buffetts old Albatross which is currently part of a bar/restaurant as you're walking to the gate of Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando Florida.

Jeez and I was just there last year!!

 

[Grampa]

Ok It's my turn to challengin you guy's. Here it comes, guess this gun and you might find out whitch plane used it.

 

[Grampa]

Damn, made an error trying again

 

[Airframes]

Stuck between two choices, so I'm going for Molins 6 pdr gun and Mosquito XVII.

 

[Grampa]

It's not a Molins 6 pdr gun and it whasent the Mosquito that used that cannon on the picture.

 

[Airframes]

B25 Mitchell is my third choice (I know,I haven't stated the second choice yet !), can't remember the weapon type, but 37 mm rings a bell. Although I think that had a vertical rack feed.

 

[T Bolt]

B-25H 75mm is what your thinking of Terry. I thought that too but the feed mechanism is all wrong.

Bf-109?

 

[Geedee]

First thought was then Mollins 6 pounder as fitted to the Tse-Tse Mosquito's but I dont recognise the magazine so I'll go with the 75mm Canon fitted to the Herc gunship.

Whatever it was fitted to...I'd sure hate to be on the receiveing end !!!

 

[T Bolt]

105mm from an AC-130

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

No, it's not that, they load the 105 in the C-130 just like they do in the field, one at a time, and close and open the breach.

 

[Airframes]

Only other one I can think of at the moment, although i don't know of a surviving airframe, is the Hs129, but the gun looks wrong.

 

[Smoke]

Bell YFM-1 Airacuda?

 

[Grampa]

It's not the 75mm cannon for the B-25H Mitchell, ether Me 109, Hs 129 or Bell YFM-1 Airacuda used this, not even the 105mm cannon on the AC-130 gunship. The plane that used this gun is not in service anymore, but there is one that remain in museum. The main purpose to this gun whas for groundattack, specially to destroy or dammage the enemys invasionfleet, particular the landing craft.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ju-87?

 

[Smoke]

Type 99 Model 2 Cannon in the J1N Gekko/Irving?

 

[T Bolt]

This is a long shot, but the B-25 G had a different type of 75mm cannon and your answer above seems to leave an opening for it.

 

[Geedee]

Difficult to get a proper idea of the size of this gun. So, in for a penny with the Saab J21
