Spitfire Weekly archives says its a Cadillac !

Personally, I reckon they're just jealous !!

 

[Airframes]

Ah, but what type of Cadillac ?
And Gary, if you don't get this one, then you should be relegated to sorting back issues of Pear Peeler's Monthly magazine !!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Canberra?

 

[Airframes]

Not a Canberra Jim, but it has got some of the same letters in its name !!

 

[Graeme]

P-51D?

 

[Graeme]

Canberra?

Just on the subject of Canberra - it could have been...

The English Electric Climax....

Looks like "somebody" has had it figured out the whole time and is just toying with you, Terry...

And when I say "somebody", I don't mean "Jane II", but more like the "the Old Crow"...

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I do believe our 'Gazza' was referring to the Cadillac of the Skies, aka P-51 Mustang, although Graeme actually named it.
It is indeed a P-51D, or was.
This is the one involved in that awful landing accident in September, where the passenger sadly did not survive. It's 'Janie', one of Maurice Hammond's two Mustangs, photographed at East Kirkby in August this year.
Now then, who's going to 'claim' this one ................

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh... I see...

 

[Graeme]

Now then, who's going to 'claim' this one ................

Chalk it up to Gary as another kill for him. I just followed it down for confirmation.
Cheers.

Very decent of you old chap
No doubt our resident B-24 Flight Engineer will post something ludicrous once he's finished thumbing through Wooly Wings Weekly ......

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

 

[GrauGeist]

Yes indeed, Terry...and you know, he can't post anything about a B-24 because we'd spot any and all portions of the B-24 right away courtesy of all his publicity photos he shares with us!

 

[Airframes]

Ah, but he could post a pic of part of a black B-24, taken at night ... a very dark night !

 

[GrauGeist]

but we would then be able to reverse the principle of the speed of dark and expose the game clue's details quite easily...

 

[Airframes]

Ah !
B*gger !

 

[Geedee]

I wouldn't be soo devious

Well...maybe not soo devious....

 

[Graeme]

Quick stab...
