The What is it? Game

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'll have a shot at a Blackhawk.

With ring bolts like that, I'm assuming they would be used to tie an airframe down to the deck of a carrier and again, I'm only guessing a chopper 'cos of the colour.

My first thought was a it belongs to a B25....Doolitle raid type of scenario.

At least you had some fun with it! It's all your Gary!

 

[Geedee]

Well thats one for the books !. I've only ever seen one once before and that was back 2004 at Oshkosh !. Believe it or not that was a totally random guess based purely on the colour of the skin, and I could only think of a chopper of some sort. I was going to suggest a Chinook !. I am surprised !!!

That was cracker of a shot Aaron, well done mate.

Rightyho chaps, have a go at this one...

 

[Airframes]

Camera port on a...... b*gg*red if I know ! I'll take a guess and say Hunter FR9.

 

[Geedee]

Sorry, not a Hunter

And its not a crop, its the full piccie.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm gonna need some clues.
Cause I ain't gotta clue.

 

[Geedee]

Four engines....sometimes five !

Thats not a a camera port in the picture...

 

[Geedee]

Sorry....seem to be having a few hiccups with posting !

Four engines....sometimes five !

Hmm, Avro Lancaster?

Thats not a a camera port in the picture...

It seems clear, and that wind screen frame makes me think it might be used for evacuation of some liquid of sort...

Cheers

 

[Marcogrifo]

Got it!

The sad last remains of last Avro Ashton:

Cheers

 

[Airframes]

Nice one! It used to be stored not far from me, near Woodford, but is now at Newark. Well done.

It is indeed the Avro Ashton. I've been inside this bird at Newark.....and you know what ?....its as empty on the inside as my wallet !!!

Over to you

 

[Marcogrifo]

Another one to guess:

Cheers

 

[Capt. Vick]

Convair NB-36H?

 

[Marcogrifo]

Convair NB-36H?

Well done

Cheers

 

[Airframes]

That was quick! Huge nose gear on that thing !

 

[Grampa]

One of the most idiotic planes ever build. why? Because it's whas build to had a active nucklear reactor inside for flighttest. good what whould havde been if that thing crased?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Interesting aside about the NB-36, they said it was like flying a glider because the lead lining around the cockpit made it vertually sound-proof. Neat huh?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Wow, that actually is pretty cool!

 

[Geedee]

Bump !...

Heres one to keep things ticking over..
