My guess is a modern turbo prop... Beechcraft B-18?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

It's something that at some point has been parked close to something that flew for the RAF

 

[Geedee]

Handley Vickers NJ1 Nostril .......

That reply was not to be sniffed at ...

Nope

Beechcraft B-18?

Nope

It's something that at some point has been parked close to something that flew for the RAF

Yup....but not when this piccie was taken

Time for a clue methinks...

I've taken pics of this babe and posted them in some of my threads over the years....hint, start early.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Yup....but not when this piccie was taken

Oh. What's with the reflected roundels then?

 

[razor1uk]

An aircraft next to it perhaps Lanc...

Early P-38 with polished prop or Fisher P-69/P-75?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

red bull p-38

 

[Geedee]

Its the Red Bull P38. Took this in the hangar at Cavanaugh Flight Museum back in 2008 when Tony and i went to the CAF Airsho in Midland

Oh. What's with the reflected roundels then?

The reflected Roundels are the Red White and Blue decorations hanging from high on the wall. Thought they might add a bit of confusion

Early P-38 with polished prop or Fisher P-69/P-75?

Dont know if she's early but certainly a P38

red bull p-38

Spot on dude

Its a toss up between Aaron and Razor who goes next.

Nicely done guys.

Good one Gary. The rosettes/roundels reflection certainly threw me, as did the tonal difference of the bare metal intakes, in shadow, which I thought might have been gloss white !!

 

[razor1uk]

I am gpoing to have to pass this one, unless I can use non aircraft holiday snaps of calssic cars or bikes with a much younger self or fam' in them.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, let's see what I can come up with here. Alright, here goes and we are going to be specific here to, down to the sub-variant.

 

[Geedee]

Looks like my wheelbarrow !.

No idea so a total shot in the dark (read very very very dark...you know the fast stuff !) Patty Wagstaff's Extra ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nope. Most of these planes are red in color.

 

[Airframes]

Got me thinking. The 'red' made me think Red Arrows Hawk, but there are only 9 (plus spares) out of around 170+ airframes, so can't be that. Think it's a tailwheel, and looks like a Republic design, but b*gg*r if I know what !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, let's see. How about this. It is a two seater.

 

[pbfoot]

stearman

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nope, not a Stearman. Smaller.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Nope, not a Stearman. Smaller.

A Stearboy? LOL

 

[pbfoot]

then I opt for a DHC82c Tiger Moth

 

[Airframes]

Pitts Special S2B

 

[Geedee]

Methinks its Jene Soucy's Showcat ( a modified Grumman Ag-Cat)
