Well done Gary.

 

[Geedee]

Good work Gary!

Strewth...you sure ?. I am shocked at that one Glenn. First thoughts were of a crop duster but then I kept goin to a chopper for some reason. Spent some time rooting through whats available on the World Wide Wait and could only think of a Sikorsky. Couldn't find a decent piccie showing that wheel so it was purely a guess !. I am surprised I got that one

Right chaps, have a go at this one, shouldn't take too long...

And what happened to the dude with pics that weren't of a Zero ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

F-111 comes to mind but it does not have glass over the top of the fuselage so I have no clue................yet.

 

[Airframes]

Looks familiar. Single engine, prop job I think, with the cowlings open. DH Chipmunk was my first reaction, but it's not. Hmm ....

 

[rochie]

i think i've got it but will wait till tomorrow when i'm able to post a pic if no one gets it by then that is !

 

[woljags]

is it a bulldog

 

[Geedee]

Good call Terry. Its one of the BBMF's Chippies !

Over to you

 

[rochie]

i was way off, i thought it was a P-39, Doh !!!!

 

[Geedee]

Don't beat yourself up mate...I've got a shot of one of these proudly wearing the name 'Thunderbird' !!!

 

[pbfoot]

Jeez how bad could they mess up the Chipmunks canopy

 

[Airframes]

Standard, framed, British production canopy Neil, although I admit the Canadian 'blown' canopy looks better. It doesn't look so bad from the side!
Couldn't remember if the locking handles were on the top, and I should know, having done a few hours in 'Chippies', including the BBMF's kite !
I'll be back soon with a pic.
OK, try this one.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Cool pic Gary!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

PBY Catalina? Side blister, mid ship I think.

 

[Airframes]

Well that didn't last long! Yep Aaron, it's the Catalina at Duxford, your turn mate.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

And to think, that was a guess. HHmmm. Hang'in around with you guys must be make'in me smarter. Ok, let's try this one. First hint. Image at full size and you'd be about six inches from it.

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. I think it's a canopy track roller, and again, seems vaguely familiar. I'll take a guess and say T-28 trojan.

 

[Geedee]

Its a P-51 Landing lamp.

Nice crop by the way

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

And Gary has another one!!!!

 

[Airframes]

B*gg*r ! Soon as Gary said P51, I knew it was familiar! Good call Gary !
