Sycamore is correct.

Was it as difficult to land as reports suggest?

We seemed to have stalled. It would appear to be Sycamore's throw. I put this one up to keep things going. I apologise in advance for the poor quality.

Not the Mosquito Mike. It is a twin though as you no doubt have deduced.

Thanks Sycamore, please forgive me for jumping in. I guessed something must have been up. Hope you can fix it soon.

It's Japanese, twin engine, single pilot. Could it be the Ki-45?
It doesn't quite match the photos I've been able to find (pressure gauges on the other side of the panel for one thing)
But it could be a different variant...

p.s. apologies for not being around to comment on the last pic I submitted - I was away on a course over the weekend and by the time I managed to check in, you'd (correctly) ID'ed it and moved on!

Tim
Please do not apologise fully understand, hope the course went well.

It is a Japanese, twin engine aircraft and flown by a single pilot. It is not the Ki-45 however?

Correct Mike. It is the Kawasaki Ki-48 (Lily)

These were captured in China after the war

I'm straining my eyes to make this one out, but is it a Vickers Valiant?

Thanks Mike, the yokes are distinctively Vickers so working the rest out wasn't too hard.

Here's mine...



I'm a bit "here, there and everywhere" at the moment so please be patient if my responses are slow in coming.

Going on the windscreen format it reminds me of the Heston Type 1 Phoenix Judging by the intruments on the central console it may be a twin.
