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

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.

Hmmm.:rolleyes: Now do I believe this or.........:hmm:

BEagle,
It was the spade grip on the Gannet that made me check Fairey.

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.
