Tim, Hope you don't mind me stealing your go !! Clint. |
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
I know this one!!!! It's a Piper PA25 Pawnee. As a glider pilot I've been pulled to 2000 feet regularly by one of these! SD |
Obviously not Italian, not with overtaking mirrors....... ;)
|
Saab.
Tooooooooo easy ! Well done sir, Clint. |
I got one right!!!
I can retire now :D I don't have the wherewithal to put up piccies, so I hope someone else will step in to save the thread... SD ps - does anyone else agree that the Pawnee is one of the ugliest aeroplanes ever made? |
Mil 8 Hip perhaps ??
|
Mmmm, Mi-17 big brother then ??
|
French Frelon helicopter?
|
Sikorsky S-60 or S-64?
|
Fairey Rotodyne!
Another British design which never made it. |
Great spot Beagle
Just to remind us of what we lost http://www.hofstra.edu/videos/Autogiro_rotodyne.mpg |
|
Fairey Barracuda ?
|
Wow Cringe that was fantastic.
|
She does indeed! Come on Cringe - what do you do for a living?
|
Thanks, guys. Sorry, I didn't mean to spoil the fun. Having no professional connection to aviation nor specific knowledge, I admit to consulting the net for answers. :O
|
Correct - indeed a Fairey Barrarracucuda....
How did you get it so quickly? My late father's business partner used to fly them in WW2. As well as Swordfish and Albacores. He said the Barracuda was a dreadful device - huge trim change when dropping the torpedo. Also the dive brakes did something odd to the airflow over the high mounted tailplane when recovering from the dive. |
'Having no professional connection to aviation nor specific knowledge, I admit to consulting the net for answers'.
Hmmm.:rolleyes: Now do I believe this or.........:hmm: |
BEagle,
How did you get it so quickly? I give my next go to someone else. Hey forget, which part is difficult to understand? ;) There's someone who could vouch for me, but he's not posting in this thread... |
Cringe, I'm sorry, I wasn't suggesting you were being 'economical with the truth'. But 'no professional connection to aviation nor specific knowledge' - you are overly modest with the latter.
Good game! Who's next? And let's see if Cringe can beat her own record. |
No one? OK, here's one. ( Cringe - tick tock, tick tock, tick tock .............. )

F104 Starfighter.
Clint. |
:ok: All yours Mr G.
|
I recognised the cockpit straight away because the very first Surveillance Radar Approach (SRA) I did in ATC was a Canadian Air Force CF 104 at Prestwick in 1974. Call sign was Musket 90, in bound from Germany for maintenance at Scottish Aviation who had the contract for all CF104s in Germany. The pilot was a Captain Farley and he was in a hurry to get on the ground as he was short of fuel. They always were. He came down the 31 approach at about 250 knots. I could hardly get my height checks in before the next one was due. Hectic or what !! But he landed. He came up to the tower for a chat and invited me to come and have a look around the aircraft. I will always remember the cockpit. One CF104 departed whilst I was there, so low and fast over a local farm that several cows had heart attacks and died. The **** really hit the fan !!! Great days.
Anyway, I stole someone’s go a few pics back so I will bow out of the next round. Clint. |
Nice one. That'll explain the faster-than-light answer! Mind you, you're still lucky that Cringe was out shopping.

Mornin' all...
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/nw969/O2.jpg It's a Cessna O2 Another quickie: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/nw969/1311.jpg |
Cessna A-37 Dragonfly[IMG]

Indeed it is - you have control!
The A-37 must have been one of the most useless military aircraft ever invented. At anything other than light weight in the summer at Barksdale AFB, they were often unable to fly from that massively long runway because the acceleration was so pedestrian and the brakes so poor that TODR was more than ASDA! Hardly surprising with a 14000lb MTOW and only 2 x 2850lb of thrust..... |

OV-1 Mohawk :ok:

Amazed to see who took the air-to-air photo of the Mohawk, PPRuNe Radar!
Surely it can't be the same one....?? |
It's likely Michael O'Leary, the Air Classics editor:

I'll have a go then - this won't last long looking at some of the timely answers.
