I'll pass to another player MR. I shall be traveling for the next couple of days.
Forget, are you up? |
Some really interesting types in the last few. Keep it up guys :ok:
Here's something, which might not be quite as hard, until the experts return ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Flying/dec.jpg |
It's a Handley Page Hampden.
|
Well, while we are awaiting an expert (hope you don't mind 682al?) here's a tricky one...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/JDK2/037_34.jpg |
How about the Cessna Bobcat or Crane as I believe it was called in the RCAF?
|
Not a type from the Americas.
People will kick themselves... |
Airspeed Consul perhaps but then, judging by the yoke, I think it is more likely to be the Avro Anson
|
Closer with the Airspeed Consul than the Avro Anson, but still both wrong, I'm afraid.
There's fliers in the UK (this one) NZ and the USA I believe, but it always was rare. |
I take it is a British twin. I thought perhaps it is a Sea Prince, might be rare today but was not rare in it's time.
|
Airspeed Oxford??
|
I was thinking Percival Pembroke or De Havilland Sea Devon, but none of those seem to fit...
|
British Aviation at its finest:
DH Heron |
Coo, I din't think it was going to be this hard!
Nope, no, no, no. MReyn's right that it's a British twin, but it was hardly a load carrier, and there weren't a lot built as it was expensive - but prestigious, so it was always rare. Closest guess was the Airspeed Oxford, for technology and another reason, but still a ways off. And sadly there's been no flying Oxboxes for 40 years now. The photo was taken on a grass strip in the UK, where, among other types, amazingly, Short Stirlings were landed and stored. Any more? |
Percival Q.6 Petrel?
Or a Miles Aerovan? |
de Havilland Dragonfly?
|
Saab D, you are clearly more positive about the numbers of flying historic British aircraft than reality allows... No.
682al's dead right. Well done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ockpit_JDK.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...Woburn_JDK.jpg |
Thanks JDK.
Dragonfly was the first thing that came into my head when I saw the photo (based on the distinctive yoke, an example of which is on a shelf a few feet away from me!) but I then convinced myself that your photo showed the right hand half of a dual control cockpit. It took your clues to convince me that my first guess was right after all. Here's another from me, bet it won't last long. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Untitled-2.jpg |
The stick looks exactly right for a Spitfire, but the rest of the cockpit doesn't - unless it's a very early model or the prototype?
|
Sorry Saab Dastard, it's not an early Spitfire.
|
OK then, it's an ARTIST'S IMPRESSION of a Spitfire :p
