No, I mean the plane we are to guess

No, I mean the plane we are to guess

Oops, my bad!

 

[Graeme]

It's not British Jim.
Not the Ikarus/Soko 522 Terry/Dave.

 

[Graeme]

Now adding a plan view...

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...I'm suspecting Italian, pre-war.

 

[Graeme]

Hi Dave.
I spotted this and thought it did look very "WW2-ish" - but the profile will give it away as a post-war aircraft. It's a tandem two-seat "advanced" trainer. First flight was in 1951 and this particular version is armed with two 7.7 mm mgs and can carry four10kg practice bombs.
Not British, but the engine is.
Not Italian, but it is European....

Wiki says only 51 were built.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I'm stumped

 

[Graeme]

I'm sure you have it in your library Jim.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh I don't doubt that, but as you said it's impossible to know them all.

 

[Graeme]

Ain't that the truth Jim.

Wanna see the side profile then?

 

[GrauGeist]

Valmet Vihuri of the Finnish Air Force, perhaps?

 

[Graeme]

Well done Dave, over to you mate!

 

[GrauGeist]

That was a tough one, Graeme!

I still haven't been able to move in to my place, so my computers and books are still in storage - if anyone would like to take my place (Terry, Jim?), please, go right ahead!

 

[Airframes]

Well done Dave - it had me stumped too.
I'm in Norfolk, using a lap top, so unable to access my photo files, maybe Jim can post something ?

 

[buffnut453]

Here you go...probably an easy one:

 

[Capt. Vick]

I don't know what it is, but it is armed to the teeth

 

[SaparotRob]

I think it's a Tokagawa Shogunate model 97

 

[GrauGeist]

Martin Baker MB3?

 

[buffnut453]

Martin Baker MB3?

Ding-ding-ding. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I didn't think it would last long.

 

[GrauGeist]

Yay! I won something

Ok, so again, if anyone would like to take my turn, go right ahead
