The What is it? Game

British Aircraft Corporation Lightning ??

HS188 Research aircraft? (that stainless steel thingy! And with what looks like TSR 2 in the background - just in case it was a trick question!)

 

[Geedee]

Not a Lightning, stainless steel thingy or the TSR2.

It is however British and you are looking at one 'plane, not one parked in front of another.

just in case it was a trick question

as if I'd do such a thing...tut tut !

Ok, I think I got it:

Blackburn Buccaneer

this shot was taken from a different point of view but gives the idea, right?

Nice trick, sir!

BTW, that nose cone is REALLY sharp!

Cheers

You got it dude, well spotted !

Its the Buccaneer from the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. And yes....it is sharp !

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nicely done!!

 

[T Bolt]

Very Very Tricky there Gary!!

 

[Airframes]

Yep, very tricky dickey! Good one though, and well deduced Marco !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Impressive, both of you! (Gary you sneaky bugger!)

 

[Marcogrifo]

Thanks

OK, do you know this?

Cheers

 

[Airframes]

Breguet Atlantic ?

 

[norab]

Nimrod ?

 

[Marcogrifo]

Sorry, not Atlantic nor Nimrod.
Actually that's not a military plane too...(even if a well known military version existed)

Cheers

Dont know why, but I'm thinking its one of the 'Ekranoplan' family. Hmmmmm, have to do some more research on this one.

ok, I think it's time for some hints

first: it's a landplane

second: it's american

third: it's a old bird, a very interesting revamping for an really everlasting plane

Cheers

 

[Marcogrifo]

Hmmm, still no answers?
Ok, I hope the pic below can give you a better hint:

Cheers

 

[buffnut453]

Super DC-3 with a schnozzle?

 

[Airframes]

Certainly a turbo-prop 'Dak' - weather research?

 

[GrauGeist]

Just a guess here, but a degaussing array?
