The What is it? Game

[Geedee]

Gloster Javelin

 

[Capt. Vick]

Spot on Gary. That would be my guess as well.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, the 'Flying Flat Iron' it surely is !

 

[Grampa]

Ghuuh, I whas hoping to fool you guy's thinking its a SAAB SK 35 c traineer at this angle, but i failed. Gratz Geedee you did it, now your turn to came up whit somethings.

If its any consolation mate, at first I thought it was a Saab Drakken !....convinced myself, entered my reply...then edited it as I had second thoughts !. If you had provided a smaller section, that would have had us guessing fro quite some time. Nice one !

Ok chaps, try this one.

errrrrr. its not a single !

4 Engine whats-it

4 Engine whats-it

Dude...you lookin over my shoulder !!!!

 

[T Bolt]

Just happened to look in at the right time. (I have no clue BTW)

 

[Airframes]

Avro Shackleton MR3 ?

 

[Geedee]

That would have been my first guess....sorry, not a Shaklelton MR3

The B-29 had a big engineers panel, and Gary, I think you are resourceful enough to get yourself into FiFi to take some pics

 

[Airframes]

Four engined prop-job, but ? I'm thinking one of two types, first pure guess being C130 Herc, possibly the Boscombe long-nosed weather research ship ?

Indeed I was !....spent quite a bit of time inside 'Fifi during the CAF Airsho 2008 (even when she was 'closed' to the public for viewing !). Sadly not the topic of my pccie allthough here's a quickie of 'Fifi's engineers panel for you for reference....

C130 Herc, possibly the Boscombe long-nosed weather research ship ?

And its not 'Snoopy'. Like the train of thought, but alas , wrong

 

[B-17engineer]

Dc-4?

 

[Geedee]

Not a DC4

Okeydokey....some clue's....you're all wrong so far !!!!

Its not a single

Its not a British design of any shape size or sort

Its pulled through the air by props

The pilots had a rope to escape from the cockpit if it all went 'pear shaped' !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

C-54?

 

[B-17engineer]

Md-11

 

[Geedee]

Its not a C54 or a MD11

Its not a Douglas A/C

Its not a taildragger

 

[Airframes]

It's either that bl**dy big cargo thingy the name of which I can't remember, looks like a squared -off ancestor of the Herc, I think called Globemaster or something, or it's a Lockheed Constellation of some type, possibly Warning Star.

 

[Geedee]

Not a Lockheed product or a Globemaster

It is big....but then it is a 4 engined jobbie !
