Grumman F7F

Yup!

Some good stuff windhund, but just to clarify, the object of this "game" is to post a pic, and whoever gets the correct answer first, then posts a pic, and so on.
If a correct answer is not forthcoming, then the original poster can post another pic.

Okay! Sorry, didn't know the rules.

 

[Simon Thomas]

I've enjoyed your pictures.

Don't beat yourself up about the rules - 95% of the posts don't follow the "Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc." rule.

They were towing the aircraft by the prop gearbox? dang, that sounds like a good way to break something

But, that's what it's for. Either towed by another aircraft or towed by the propellor.

[Wurger]

Echo, echo, echo ...

 

[windhund116]

So the game is now to find a personal photo of a Rata with a tail wheel?

 

[Wurger]

I don't think there is any trouble with finding of a such shot ...

the source: the net....

 

[windhund116]

But, scraping photos off the Net is fair game? Color me cornfused.

"Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc." rule.

 

[GrauGeist]

If one took the time to go through the thread, they would find that GeeDee relaxed the rules to allow photos from other sources.

I shall consider myself suitably chastised.
Carry on.

The original idea, was to use personal photos from our collections, which was a great idea - however, after a few hundred pages or so, we exhausted our supply!

So Gary decided to change things a bit

No - "RoyBoy" above is answering a challenge posted over 11 years ago. If you go through this massive thread as Dave said, you'll see numerous posts over the years from people who answer "Polikarpov I-16 Rata" not realising (why, I don't know) the thread has well and truly moved on.

But moving on it should - it's a great thread!

 

[Airframes]

Ah, I recognize that !
It's a ............... oh, b*gger, I've forgotten !
Oh, hello nurse ...............

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...

One of those pointy thingies on Luke Skywalker's land-speeder?

Seriously, though, it seems like I'be seen that on a RAF Lightning (jet).

Dave, it does have a jet engine - but from the land of wombats and wallabies.
