The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

Are we looking at it in its correct orientation Terry?

 

[Simon Thomas]

Poor fitting round head screws and lack of flush cover over the aperture suggests budget design and fabrication.
I'd be leaning towards more recent, cheap military trainer/light fighter.
Am I headed in the right direction?

 

[Geedee]

Are we looking at it in its correct orientation Terry?

Indeedy, it's the right way up...but I won't let on what it is. This is a sneaky one, well done Terry

 

[Airframes]

I thought you'd know what it is Gary !

Simon, no, it's older than you may at first think.

 

[Airframes]

OK, a cryptic clue - you'd need to reel off quickly to get the whole picture .......................

 

[mjfur]

It's a fairing over a camera. Not sure which aircraft.

 

[Airframes]

Yes, you're on the right track.

De Havilland Beaver? I have no clue but I know AAC Beavers were occasionally fitted with cameras.

 

[Airframes]

Not a Beaver, but it is British.

 

[Airframes]

Any more clues required ?

 

[SaparotRob]

No more clues needed. Colonel Mustard in the library with the candle stick.

 

[Simon Thomas]

Blenheim

 

[Airframes]

Not Colonel Mustard, or a Blenheim.
But it is a low wing monoplane ..................

 

[herman1rg]

Fairey Battle

 

[Airframes]

Not a Battle.

 

[Simon Thomas]

Lockheed 12A G-AFTL

 

[Airframes]

Not a Lockheed product, it's British.

 

[Simon Thomas]

Any of the aeroplanes from Sydney Cotton's unit?

 

[Airframes]

No, just a standard RAF unit .................
