Could it possibly be Russian. Such as IL-12?

You're both wide of the mark. Think big .

Could it be a Boeing Stratocruiser? :hmm:

Saunders-Roe Princess ?

Yes it's G-ALUN, sycamore wins!

OK here is one:-

Shackleton.....................

I think it's a Hastings.


Clint.

If it ain't an early Shack - then it's a York. (Perhaps.)

As Grubby says, Hastings.

Mr Grubby is correct. It is a Hastings. Flew in one as an air cadet at Lindholme and recently saw the one at Cosford. It was much larger than I had remembered.

Easy I think ?


Clint.

Fairchild C-123 Provider...............

Nope.
Not a Provider.

Alright then - Fairchild C-119 Boxcar, almost identical part from the paint job.

Correct !!


Clint.

Something for the weekend sir? ........and cringe.

What cockpit
 

Hey there forget - you weren't really trying to say that a C119 was practically identical to a C123 were you?

OK, that's stretching it somewhat - but I was referring to the picture - control yoke, throttle quadrant, centre instruments etc etc. Different glareshield (due perhaps to the different airframe) is the obvious giveaway.;)

Here's one for the weekend :-

Argonautical.


Gannet Rear Cockpit.


Clint.

That's some OAT guage in forget's pic. Looks just like an ordinary thermometer. ;)

Armstrong Whitworth Atlanta?

628al. Well done indeed! I was hoping to ruin cringe's weekend with that one. Note the props. Capable of converting a light breeze on the nose into a breeze over the wings.

Incidentally, it's Atalanta - not Atlanta.
Good article.

How does one....
 

post a photo to have a go in this thread? Copy/paste is a no go and I can't attach anything so could someone smarter please inform me?

Go ahead, make my day!

Thanks, Mike on the pic posting clue!

Northrop P-61 Black Widow ?

I am such a rookie! Took you maybe two minutes?

Very well done. Taken in the USAF Museum's one this past summer.

I'll shut up now and listen to my betters........

brickhistory,

I'd be happy if I could do it from memory. :) You can post another one if you want.

Cringe, thanks. I'll leave it to you. Makes it more challenging for the forum.

Cheers,
Brick

682al won yesterday, so until he's back, try this:

Short Empire flying boat?

I agree with Tiger Mate, deffo a Shorts flying boat.

Short Empire is nearly correct.

Hmmm,

If not the modified Empire boat Maia, I'd have to guess the prototype Sunderland?

I say prototype because there doesn't appear to be much in the way of military equipment in the cockpit and the panel layout is rather different than production aircraft...

It's Maia indeed. Well done! Over to you now.

The bottom part of the Short Mayo Composite:

O.K., I'll give it a go....

Thread Climb to height Record
 

Whilst Cringe researches her next selection
(my quess at Cringe's profession is: Researcher for TV and Radio) and the rest of the Brains Trust feverishly delve into memory, reference books and hunt the attic for that vaguely remembered Magazine Article in 1970 something, or go down the pub for inspiration, so as to be the first to correctly answer 682al's conundrum.

The Idle Man, oh damn wrong alias, opssys believes this Thread holds the the record for most views in shortest time ever.
26718 Views in 61 Days = 438 Views per day!
Although the Thread Picture Album is well ahead on total views at 36880, it has been going 16 months longer!
DIH

Oh dear, looks like I've caused the quiz to grind to a halt.

On reflection, perhaps there aren't enough clues as the photo has been edited to emphasise the instrument maker's products - hence no cockpit glazing etc.

Clues that should be picked up quite quickly...British, pre-war, twin engined, dual controls, no hint of armament fit...

I'll leave that one up for now but will offer an alternative. I've edited this one simply because the manufacturer's works and Company logo were clearly visible through the windscreen- a bit of a give away!

Is the last picture a Rapide.
