That's the one, Mel. :ok: Sorry for the delay. Your go.

Cringe No problem. A easy one to keep things ticking over.

Didnt think this would be a problem. This particular aircraft built mid 40s did not go into production.

Mel,

Couldn't resist a quick shot before heading for bed - distreesingly early call in the am.

How about the Gloster E39?

Sorry for the delay. Not the Gloster E39. This one was not from the UK.

Not the Me 108, Speedpig.

It's got an instrument panel that would embarass a Link Trainer.

Glider?

Without giving too much away the answer to that question is yes and no.

Philthy 1st Aug 2006 13:48

Me 163A then?

jabberwok 1st Aug 2006 16:03

Or maybe the Fieseler Fi 103R

MReyn24050 1st Aug 2006 17:05

jabberwok

Sorry, Not the Fieseler Fi 103R.

Philthy

Not a Me 163A but you are close, as this aircraft was derived from the Me 163.

Mel.

Speedpig 1st Aug 2006 18:16

ME 163S?
Or is it not that easy?

Sorry Speedpig but I am afraid it is not. This aircraft was not built by the aircraft's OEM.

Kieron Kirk 1st Aug 2006 20:39

Junkers Ju248.

Not the Junkers JU248, which was the Me163D taken over by Junkers who completed the work under Prof H.Hertal and redesignated as the JU248. The aircraft in question was built by a completely different manufacturer.

The cockpit structure is reminiscent of the 163 but the instrument panel is totally different. Might it be the Lippisch P13 (DM1)?

Not the Lippisch P13 (DM1). The aircraft in question did have connections with the 163 but was not built in Germany.

stevef 1st Aug 2006 22:24

Hmm, interesting - my second shot is the Japanese Akikusa.

You are in the right area, but this bird was not a glider.
