Six across - got to be the Spruce Goose.

MReyn24050 9th Feb 2006 06:29

Dont think it is the Spruce Goose, however I believe it is the Blohm & Voss Bv 222 "Wiking".

Wow that was quick and there was me thinking it might last at least an hour. Well done you have control.

Thanks Mel, this could be better quality but I don't have much left to offer...

From the position and type of compass I take it is British. Therefore from the cockpit framework I believe it to be the De Havilland Don.

682al 9th Feb 2006 13:45

Sorry, not the Don.

Now if someone has a cockpit photo of the Don, I'd like to see it!

Bristol Buckmaster

MReyn24050 9th Feb 2006 17:00

Give that lady the prize. Cringe you beat me to it, well done. It is in fact the Bristol Type 166, 112 built as 682al will confirm shortly I am sure.

682al 9th Feb 2006 20:20

Yes, and apologies for the delay in confirming it!

Good Morning to you, thanks for the extra photograph it did help to get a better idea of the canopy structure. However still no real idea of the type. Could you please confirm if I am on the right path.
The aircraft concerned is a:-
Twin engined
Retactable main wheels but with a tail wheel.
Possibly late 30s with WWII service.
Light transport.
Possibly German

Hi Mel,

All your assumptions are correct. :) Bert was close too.

D.

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 09:03

Thank you cringe

In that case I will go for the Gotha Go146 or perhaps the Go150.
Mel
