Sorry, not a Gotha.

Bert Stiles 10th Feb 2006 09:15

I see it now. Fw 58C ?

cringe 10th Feb 2006 09:19

You got it, Bert. Well done.

Bert Stiles 10th Feb 2006 09:35

Those are two different airframes. You have access to some wonderous data.

To change the tone which was getting a bit RLM...

Surely you didn't mean that Bert? RE8 or was that to throw us off the scent.

Bert Stiles 10th Feb 2006 10:04

Just playing... It isn't an RE8.

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 10:28

Thanks Bert. I thought it looked a little comprehensive for an RE8.

Looks like German WW1 lozenge pattern camoflage to the left of the nose so is it a Fokker DR-1 Eindekker?

PS from the previous page: What's a de Havilland Don?

682al 10th Feb 2006 12:02

Is it a Vickers Gunbus?

The Don was a pre-war trainer that didn't get very far.

Gipsy King motor, low winged monoplane. About 30 built, I think.

Saab Dastard 10th Feb 2006 12:21

L&S - wrong control grip for an Eindekker.

There's no MG triggers, but it looks like there is a front cockpit or observer position, so it's either a trainer or the rear cockpit of an observer / bomber type.

As 682al stated.
DE HAVILLAND DH.93 DON - The De Havilland 93 Don was designed to Specification T.6/36 as an advanced trainer mounting a manually-operated dorsal turret in addition to accommodation for two pilots and a radio operator trainee. Prototype flown June 1937 with 525 hp Gipsy King I and 50 production aircraft built (20 as spare airframes without engines) in communications role without turrets after official requirements changed. Served with No 24 Sqn and numerous Station Flights through-out UK until early 1939, but all had been grounded for use as instructional airframes by the time the war began.

Quite a correspondence... Saab's the nearest. I've never had a peek into the RE8 at Duxford, but would imagine it to be about the same or more equipped if anything, though the engine instrumentation would be different - clue. 682al has the nationality.

Would anyone care to bet that Cringe doesn't have a photograph of the innards of a DH 93 ?

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 13:23

This challenge is the rear cockpit of the Avro 504

Bert Stiles 10th Feb 2006 13:28

You are correct... Mel has the con again.

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 13:44

Thanks Bert
Keeping with the current flavour, however I am sure this will not pose a problem at all.

Handley Page 0/400 ?
And what are all those vertically arranged levers on the right?

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 16:03

India Four Two

Not the 0/400. Mike is correct in assuming 4 engines.

Saab Dastard 10th Feb 2006 17:51

Handley Page V/1500?

MReyn24050 10th Feb 2006 17:57

Saab Dastard
Correct

You have control

Saab Dastard 10th Feb 2006 19:02

Let's see how long this lasts...
