Prototype Whitley mock-up ?

herman1rg · Apr 22, 2019

I think it might the front turret of a Whitley

Edit: one minute behind Terry

Whitley?

Graeme · Apr 22, 2019

It is a turret mock-up that was never fitted and it is British. However it isn't a bomber. If you look very closely you can just make out the cockpit at the extreme left.
First flight was in 1934.

Hawker Hotspur, perhaps?

Westland-Hill Pterodactyl V turret fighter.

Graeme · Apr 23, 2019

That's the one Grant.

A couple more of the proposed turret...

nuuumannn · Apr 25, 2019

Righto, I'll put something up over the next day or so. School hols with the wee yuns right nooo.

nuuumannn · Apr 25, 2019

Yep, it's the Viking at Brooklands.
Here's the (almost) complete aircraft.

The military (RAF) version was the Valetta, and later the Varsity, slightly bigger and with tricycle landing gear

Indeed, but the Viking also served as a military aircraft; the first export customer was Argentina, which used the type as military transport. This survivor was reputedly Juan Peron's personal transport:

Hi Grant.
Your porthole above - does it belong to a seaplane?

Airframes · Apr 27, 2019

Looks familiar, but can't place it - thinking F-84, but only vaguely.

nuuumannn · Apr 27, 2019

Graeme, no. Terry, I'm kinda expecting you to be familiar with this one in particular, but not an F-84. Hint, WW2 and water does play a part.

British anti-submarine Grumman Avenger?

nuuumannn · Apr 28, 2019

No Graeme, but close.
