I'll have a shot at a Blackhawk.

With ring bolts like that, I'm assuming they would be used to tie an airframe down to the deck of a carrier and again, I'm only guessing a chopper 'cos of the colour.

My first thought was a it belongs to a B25....Doolitle raid type of scenario.

Well thats one for the books !. I've only ever seen one once before and that was back 2004 at Oshkosh !. Believe it or not that was a totally random guess based purely on the colour of the skin, and I could only think of a chopper of some sort. I was going to suggest a Chinook !. I am surprised !!!

That was cracker of a shot Aaron, well done mate.

Rightyho chaps, have a go at this one...

It seems clear, and that wind screen frame makes me think it might be used for evacuation of some liquid of sort...

Cheers

Interesting aside about the NB-36, they said it was like flying a glider because the lead lining around the cockpit made it vertually sound-proof. Neat huh?
