I knew it was easy. I didn't think it was THAT easy, I knew I should have removed the tank, lol.
Yes its a Firefly IV being demoed with a contraprop to try to drum up exports circa 1947.
All yours.

Ahhhhh HD.
That was the one you flashed up for a few minutes in error a couple of weeks back, but you removed it after a Lightning pilot had copied it to his folder and alerted Noyade to it.
I have been ready for it ever since, but I've just been lecturing so have missed all the fun!!!

Evening HD,
Is it the Boeing YB-29 fitted with Allison in-line engines, I believe it may have been called the XB-39 after the modification to fit the Allison V3420-17 engines ?
It seems worth a quick shot without too much checking as I've only got a few minutes to play!
Just found out that what I initially thought were windows, was the painted name "Spirit of Lincoln" and it was designated the Boeing 345 XB-39
Open House please when confirmed as I'm off very soon.

Evening LM,
Thanks; I was just about to log off.
Like you, I had spotted and copied HD's Firefly post a while back and was ready to pounce, but I was also hard at it earning a crust when it came back, soddit!!
I hope you're recovery is going well.
