Challenge

[MReyn24050]

Graeme. You are perfectly correct it is the MiG 3 and it was the subject of AQ back in about 2006 I believe. As Graeme declares Open House.

[SincoTC]

let's have another sharp intake of breath, (no hidden clue there, just the other end for a change)!

[Kitbag]

Was going for MiG 15, but how about the daddy of them all; Gloster E28?

[SincoTC]

Morning Kitbag,

Sorry, not one of those two; but it was fairly early!

[MReyn24050]

Fokker S14 perhaps.

[SincoTC]

Good evening Mel,

No perhaps about it sir !!

The Fokker S-14 Machtrainer was a Dutch two-seater military training jet aircraft designed and manufactured by Fokker for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Development started in the late 1940s, and it was one of the first jet fighter training aircraft in the world, making its first flight on 19 May 1951 and entering service in 1955

Grumman or something the U.S Navy would fly?

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning Mel.

Not dissimilar to the Chance Vought F2G1 Corsair Reno racer.

[sycamore]

With a 4-blader in front and exhaust flame shields,more likely an A-1 Skyraider..?

[MReyn24050]

Good Morning David. Sycamore has it, the aircraft is in fact a Douglas AD-4N Skyraider F-AZHK.

Are we going to get a challenge from you Sycamore?

[sycamore]

Sorry ,been `shopping`,so OPEN HOUSE....

[SincoTC]

Good evening Graeme,

Just a wild shot in the dark, is it a P-63 Kingcobra ??

I've got the dog back 'til Sunday, just off for a walk now on a wet and dark morning, Open House if correct! Don't think it is now, as it looks to be nose-mounted, a Russian or Jap maybe, alas as no time to look furthe right now!

[Lightning Mate]

Is that a Sabre V24?

[Noyade]

Morning!

Not a Cobra of any sort. Not Japanese or Russian or powered by a Sabre engine.
Not WWII.

[Lightning Mate]

So am I looking at a straight 12 (very unusual) or a V24?

Maybe a seaplane......

[Noyade]

Hi David.

12-cylinder Vee liquid-cooled.
Not a seaplane.

[Lightning Mate]

Lots of those around.

An Allison?

[Noyade]

Not an Allison.
