Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
I know this one!!!!
It's a Piper PA25 Pawnee.
As a glider pilot I've been pulled to 2000 feet regularly by one of these!

I can retire now
I don't have the wherewithal to put up piccies, so I hope someone else will step in to save the thread...
SD
ps - does anyone else agree that the Pawnee is one of the ugliest aeroplanes ever made?

Correct - indeed a Fairey Barrarracucuda....
How did you get it so quickly?
My late father's business partner used to fly them in WW2. As well as Swordfish and Albacores. He said the Barracuda was a dreadful device - huge trim change when dropping the torpedo. Also the dive brakes did something odd to the airflow over the high mounted tailplane when recovering from the dive.

BEagle,
It was the spade grip on the Gannet that made me check Fairey.
I give my next go to someone else.
Hey forget, which part is difficult to understand?
There's someone who could vouch for me, but he's not posting in this thread...

Cringe, I'm sorry, I wasn't suggesting you were being 'economical with the truth'. But 'no professional connection to aviation nor specific knowledge' - you are overly modest with the latter.
Good game! Who's next? And let's see if Cringe can beat her own record.
