Bruegeot Atlantic. Remember the one which didn't quite make it over the Black Sheds? Sad.

NAMC YS-11A........

Ah so! Spot on Cringe. Sorry about the delay.

I dont know but here are my thoughts in case they prompt anybody else.
Twin engined, likely to be a jet, with Martin Baker ejection seat pins. Why they are stowed rather than in the seat is a bit of a mystery. Pilot tends to keep boots on footwell rather than rudder pedals, may suggest the rear seat of a trainer albeit maybe OCU and therefore twin stick variant of front line. Cockpit paint (lt grn) often associated with naval aircraft. RAF tend to be black overall, and those rivets would suggest late fifties or early sixties. Just out of picture at the top could be a radar scope which may suggest air defence role, likewise very pale gray (or white) on exterior. Russian cabs could have those rivets, but they are normally blue inside. Could be many, but Tiger Mate is baffled with this one. :confused: |
Not an office I know but looks fairly agricultural - "Gannet"?
|
Excellent observations, Tiger_mate. Later than the 60s though.
foxmoth, it may look agricultural, but this type actually saw combat. |
Pucara perchance?
|
Sorry, no. It is named after a bird.
|
Soko J-22 Orao (eagle) ?
|
'Stormy Petrel on a stick'?
For Python enthusiasts..... |
Well done Brain Potter, it is the Orao! The photo(by Maciek Stanecki) might be of the trainer version.
Over to you now. |
Well done indeed!
The 'bic pen green' colour indicated East European origins, but not Russian as no typical Russian attitude indicator. Obviously a twin-jet, but the Martin Baker seat had me stumped - hence the guess at L-39 Albatross although that seemed unlikely unless the seat used M-B pins! |
I was going to say something Russian because of the colour. I was basing this on a pic I saw of one of those Russian airliners with the perspex nose that looks a lot like a WWII bomber and had a big downward looking radar.
But anyway, I'm crap at this game (apart from the Japanese flying bomb :ok: ) |
Ok, what's this then?
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...nPotterr/2.jpg Blimey - didn't realise that posting photos was so tricky! |
Looks like a Northrop F-5G, nee F-20,Tigershark.
|
Nope, but close!
|
Can't see the photo, but if Gainesy is close, could it be the Grumman X-29, which I seem to recall used a F-20/F-5 cockpit and forward fuselage?
|
Hmm, grumman X-29 then?:suspect:
EdAdd Should have refreshed the page before posting. |
Yes it's an X-29.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ter-a-X-29.jpg Once upon a time in a ground cat type interview, I was asked to comment on a model of an A320 which had forward swept wings fitted. The first thing that sprang to mind was - which way is it flying? :D Over to Treadigraph I think.... |
