The What is it? Game

[buffnut453]

Hispano HS-42. Never heard of it before....but Graeme's clues led me by the nose.

Well done Mark - finally!
Lotta side-tracks on the way - but we got there!

 

[GrauGeist]

Aww yeah, Hispano!

I got side-tracked, but was thinking more toward a Finnish or Swedish knock-off.

Well done!

 

[windhund116]

Not from Finland.



Not British.



Not Dutch - but there is a loose Fokker connection - according to Wiki.


Clue - Think about the 'Messerschmitts' you saw in the 1969 Battle of Britain film.

Another shot...

Nice!

 

[Graeme]

Think you'll find It's a Douglas 8A (Northrop A17)

G'day Gary!
Missing you on this thread.

I don't think it's a Douglas or Northrop - but I know what ya mean.
I'm sticking with Stuka....

 

[Graeme]

Hi, I think that it's the tailwheel of a Polikarpov I- 16

Roy.
This is now your second recent attempt to answer a quiz photo that was answered nearly 12 years ago.
We've moved on mate - we're now all on page 506.

G'day back at ya mate. Yup been away faaaar too long...let the fun commence ! !. This one isn't a Stuka, it's a Heinkel He 112

 

[Graeme]

Heinkel He 112

Ahhh.....yes!

That was Windhund's photo - a page or so ago - Stuka didn't tick all the boxes.

Hope ya stick around mate!

Guess this means you post the next photo quiz?

 

[Graeme]

Usually, we wait until we find out what the mystery aircraft is and the one who answered correctly will post the next challenge.

Yes!
Thank you Dave!
Such a simple process - why has it become so difficult lately??

Guess this means you post the next photo quiz?

No - not me. Chronologically it's buffnut 453's turn - he grasped the Hispano.....

 

[windhund116]

No - not me. Chronologically it's buffnut 453's turn - he grasped the Hispano.....

Yeah, that's right. Still grasping the concept!

 

[special ed]

Still wondering about the "loose Fokker connection".
Could you mean Me?

Just a joke, Bud

 

[buffnut453]

Yes!

I'll cede the floor to windhund116 .

I'll cede the floor to windhund116 .

Danke!

I know this one is easy. [extra credit: what's the model/make of the truck? ] . But, I like the photo for a potential 1:72 scenario.

 

[Geedee]

Felixstowe F5

 

[windhund116]

Hiro H2 ?

No.

 

[Geedee]

No.

Yeah. Think H1H. But, the photo is of the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal prototype (to be real anal). In other words, built from what original plane?

It's such a poor photo. Hard to see details. The caption of the photo: "F5 Japanese flying boat. Based on Felixstowe F.2."

 

[windhund116]

Hint: for the maintenance photo, check the truck's fender (about the only thing your can see below the camo).

 

[tyrodtom]

It's hard to ID just from the fender, position of the headlights,, and separate running board.
Maybe late 30's Toyota ?
