Fill in some of the gaps.

2. HP Halifax
4 Hawker Fury
5. Miles Master (could be a Martinet I suppose)
6. FW 189
8. Me 410
14. Do 18

Still leaves one head on one to identify.

It is a Reggiane product mate, but not the 2000...



Also, have another look at the Dornier (No.14). Three engines.

Just need the correct designations for the Dornier and Reggiane.
Control goes to whoever finds them.
Usual rules apply.
Night.

Bugger, wish I'd looked in sooner.
The Dornier looks like the Do.24.
As for the Reggiane, well my guess would be the Re.2001 but the windows on the side view don't seem right.....?

A'rtnoon Gents,

I'll second (third it) that too Ken

The windows on the Reggiane shown in Graeme's side view tie in with it being an earlier version of the 2001, most of the drawings show the third type mentioned below!

Converted from the Re 2000 prototype, MM408 became an additional Re 2001 prototype. As described by Carlo Soliani, it appeared in three configurations:
1st: natural aluminum finish transparent pilot headrest fairing
2nd: green & brown camouflage finish transparent pilot headrest fairing
3rd: green only camouflage finish modified pilot headrest fairing (solid)


If it's wrong,then blame me (as he said earlier today)

Back to work now, catchya later if possible

Hi Guys, multi aircraft challenges are great but a nightmare for the recorder especially Graeme's at Post 5520. New update coming shortly.

Mel, noted and yes, perhaps not too well thought out. I'll stick to singles from now on. And thanks as ever in advance for the update. Cheers
Ken

Sorry Mel, spur of the moment thing, won't happen again.

Ken, any connection/theme between them or did you simply hit the random button?

(How did you make that threesome?)

Middle one mate, Cessna Titan?

Can I ask for a rough time period and purpose for the left one?
