[Catch22]

No, single engined.

 

[norab]

BT-1?

 

[Airframes]

Skyraider ?

 

[Catch22]

No, WWII, prototype of a version of a plane that saw extensive service, though this version didn't see any.

 

[Capt. Vick]

F4U?

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, thought I might trick you guys longer if I went for a weird one, since I don't have knowledge of all of these strange planes you guys post all the time!

Specifically, the XF4U-3, which didn't enter service and which the -4 effectively outperformed.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nice one Corey! Way to go Capt. Vic!!!

 

[Capt. Vick]

What the jam is this?

 

[Airframes]

Bristol Buckmaster ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

No Terry my dear friend, but it IS an airplane

 

[Airframes]

Believe it or not, so is (or was) the Bristol Buckmaster - but I forgot it had Bristol Centaurus radial engines.
This looks a bit like the Westland Welkin, but I don't think it is .... hmm, thinks ...........

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Terry, I think you are correct on the Welkan. I may be wrong but it sure looks like it.

 

[wuzak]

Vickers 432

 

[CommanderBounds]

That looks to be it! Kinda looks like a Canberra bomber mixed with a Mosquito.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dang, it does look like that!

 

[wuzak]

That looks to be it! Kinda looks like a Canberra bomber mixed with a Mosquito.

It was a fighter, more particularly a high altitude fighter in competition with the Welkin.

The man from Hobart, Tasmania got it! Very good sir, your bacon is in the mail. Too bad it will be rancid by the time you get it.

Thanks.

This probably won't last long, but here goes.

 

[WJPearce]

Looks to me like a Bristol Brabazon, but I may be seeing things.

 

[wuzak]

Yes, exactly.

Thought it was too easy....
