I know I am a bit out of my depth with you guys !!

But is it a Chipmonk ?


Simon.

Not a Chipmunk...

treadigraph.

Could it be the AN-225 :D

Well I only asked, not very good on Cockpits :{

Peter.

Keep guessing - if no luck soon I'll give you some hints, but it is quite tricky. Lomcevak might get it as he may have flown the beast in question...

Beags,
Yes A6-8. As Homes might say, "Your reasoning was excellent, Watson, but flawed." :P

Lovely aeroplane, lovely restoration under the kindly hands of Mothcair in Murwillumbah, NSW. It'll be a stunner to see in the air.

Treadders - is it a Percival?

Nah - OK Hint. It's a reproduction (but not a replica )...

JDK, I need to PM you about a certain Warlike Planet... Will do so when I've slept off my convivial intake. Hic!

Hmmm.

I'm wracking the old brainbox.

It's not foren, cos there's an English plackard. Probably one engine, not military, 1930s - maybe 20s.. Def piston engined, retractable undercarriage, not a Percival.

Oh, and it's 10 past 1 am, cos it's dark outside...

Not many British aircraft in the thirties with a low or mid wing with wheels that go up n' dahn.

It's not the US built DH-88 Comet replica is it? Looks different to the 'real' G-ACSS if 'tis.

Sure, drop me a PM Treadders.

Not a Caudron repro? (But the english plackard...)

Windcreen\'s wrong for a Comet.

Miles?

OK hints:

It's American and has a radial engine.

Sorry been out all day and about to hurtle off again.

Grumman F3F in its two-seat G32A version, perchance?

http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/images/f3fsb_16.jpg shows a similar cockpit view.

See http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/airshow01/legends/f3f.htm for an external view of the F3F2 single seater or http://www.plane-crazy.net/links/g32.htm for both types together.

Well done BEagle, you have control!

Chino Warbird's N100TF when it and one of the single-seaters was in the UK for Flying Legends show several years ago. Lovely little aeroplanes!

Cheers

Treadders

Always thought the Grumman flying barrels looked nice!

OK, try:

That has to be a TSR 2?

Well done - hole in one! You have the helm.

Good one Treadders - great photo too. I presume you erased the callsign plackard?

Ooh. Fast as a TSR-2 too. More please.

I did, and a reflection out of the windscreen as well - then noticed another one. I should credit the pic to Barry McKee!

Woohoo!!!

It was the colour and the position of the Manual Overide handle on the bang seat (Mk8) that gave it away.....

Now then...where did I put my cockpit picis?:E

Anybody else want to have a go?

twas good while it lasted.

Ok an easy one for you all, so easy in fact that you have to get not only manufacturer and model, but also the year (hint: not 2005 :} )

She's a grand old girl too :ok:

Cessna 170 - 1950???

"Ok an easy one for you all"

Has anybody else ever noticed that when somebody says that you know the impossible is inbound.

Dont know the type, but I estimate the twentieth century:O

Is the word 'Beechcraft' on the AH a clue?

No, yes and no.

Perhaps "easy" is the wrong word and I should have said "far from exotic" or perhaps fairly common airframe.


btw, the AH was a rebuilt as the old one used to show a permanent 70 degrees of bank :}

It may be easy for you but I can't even see it - thank you IT Services! By the time I shamble home from le Chien et He-Vache, no doubt it will have been solv-ed!

95 Kts, 6.700 AGL (check the second ALT!!), HDG 061, 2,400 RPM - I suppose you want to know where that Cessna 140 is also headed?

Woomera

Well spotted and that explains why the mags are on :8



Look again...it couldn't possibly be a 140 :rolleyes:

;)

...though you may well have the manufacturer correct :ok:

Cessna 180? 1960's vintage

Very very close.

It's a Cessna with a controllable prop and having two altimeters AND being ragged out is a big clue.









Ok it's a straight tailed 1959 C-182 jumpers for the use of.

Here you go:

Arado Ar 234 Blitz................the one at the NASM.

Trifecta! Make, model and the individual aircraft.

Arado 234 'Blitz' one-man jet bomber c1945.

Now two out of three should be a doddle:


http://tinypic.com/ebeihy.jpg


1) Type
2) Registration
3) Name of FO...............

(Sorry about the size, haven't figured that bit out yet)

Vickers..................errrrm

The Vanguard at Brooklands? G-APE... Miss Gruntie? (Sorry, hat sounds a bit unfortunate, but you know what I mean!)

Vickers VC10
A40-AB
Ebeihy?

Gruntie re pic sizing - someone put me onto http://tinypic.com/
(I hope I can mention them here - tinypic is a free site)
Anything oversize is automatically sized down to 250Kb, as long as the pic starts at a reasonable size - for example if I had a multi Mb image I would use Photoshop or Graphic Converter or whatever to resize it down a bit for a start, then let tinypic do any tidying up.

I haven't a clue what the aircraft is btw, other than it is either a gateguard or was parked very close to those trees. :D

Well done that man, 'tis indeed A40-AB, ex-G-ASIX of BUA. The FO I'll let you off!

How about:

Convair B 36 Peacemaker ??

Is it a Beriev 2500?

No to both - sorry!
