Name that Flying Machine

[India Four Two]

Its angle of attack varies as speed increases and as ballast water is jettisoned from the hull.

​​​​​​​What could possibly go wrong?

Challenge looks Russian to me - something like a Yak-19?

[Self loading bear]

Not the Thunderjet and not Russian

[Noyade]

B-45?

[oxenos]

By Jove, I do believe he's got it.

Here's my entry in the 'guess the aircraft part' competition. Is it cropped too much?

For Pypard my next clipped clue to fill 24-hrs.

Don't know what it is, but the person who did the riveting should be ashamed of themselves.

B45 Tornado again.

[Asturias56]

it has to be otherwise Bear would infringe the 24hr Rule he's just showing us some nice pictures

[Self loading bear]

Noyade hit it again with the B45 Tornado.

But I am most intrigued by Pypard’s contribution.

Perhaps Noyade is to?

Thanks Bear. I'm more than happy to continue on with Pypard's rivets, if he wants to.
But if not - Open House.

Try this -

Fiat G.82.

[Asturias56]

You'll have to wait for the answer - I'm not waiting up until 01:33 Z even for Noyade.................

I think it's the panel covering the hyperphase tertiary generator solenoid on the XJK-23-H (prototype amphibious version), built August 1949 at the manufacturer's Vladivostok plant.

The picture taken at Lake Bracciano/Vigna di Valle (Italian Air Force Museum) - we visited there in 2017 - a really impressive collection in the really impressive old seaplane base.
Probably overall the best museum we ever visited
Here is a similar view out through one of the hangar doors.

When I was gliding it was called the 'interblocater' for short.
