I stand corrected.As you say the true Seafang prototypes it appears did fly in 1946.
According to C F Andrews and E B Morgan's book Supermarine Aircraft since 1914 published by Putnam.
"As early as October 1943, Supermarine were envisaging applying the laminer flow wing to the Seafire XV and wrote their own specification 474 under Type 382 for such a development using the Merlin 61. This was their own initiative but it evinced no response in official places. Later on, however, naval interest was aroused and official specification N.5/45 was issued for a laminer flow fighter for the Fleet Air Arm. Spiteful F.14 RB520 was fitted with a sting-type hook early in 1945 as the interim prototype Seafang."
The two proper prototypes flew in the following year. One of these represented the production Seafang F Mk 31 (VB893) with Griffon 61 engine and a long-stroke undercarriage, but non-folding wings. The other represented the Seafang F Mk 32 (VB895) with a Griffon 89 engine with contraprop, and upward-folding wings.

I am not sure if the Seafang Cockpit was similar to the Spiteful, however oncemorealoft has earned the next go

Thanks evansb and MReyn24050...

It was more a process of elimination than knowledge and as I have no access to a cockpit that has not already featured plus it was MReyn24050 who actually mentioned the Seafang (the Spiteful's salty sister), I'll let you take the baton.

That was a great challenge.

Morning Mel,

How about an F4 Corsair?

One might even add " PerCHANCE? "

BSD

p.s. allright, allright, I apologise for that appalling pun!

BSD

Good Morning to you. Sorry this one is not the Chance-Vought's F4 Corsair
But nevertheless it was almost worth taking that CHANCE.

Mel

T6 Texan?
or Harvard

Speedpig
Neither the T6 nor Harvard I am afraid.
Mel

Surprised that this is still not identified. BSD took a CHANCE it just happened to be the wrong "CHANCE".

Do not understand why you cannot see the photograph at Post #83 :confused: . BSD must have seen it to make his reply at Post #84.Just viewed it on another computer without problems. However I will post it again.

Many thanks. I am surprised BSD did not follow up with his intitial pun.

(Chance)-Vought OS2U Kingfisher

I am getting used to people getting this wrong on other forums (fora?), but on the H & N forum I would have expected better:rolleyes: :{ :* := :mad:

You have my most sincere apologies :uhoh: :O . However I did at least acknowledge the trouble you took to advise me that you did see the photographs :)
evansb
You are correct it is the Chance-Vought OS2U Kingfisher :ok: , you have control.

Hi cringe. Great to see another challenge from you. Looking at the canopy structure I will go for the P.Z.L.26, five of which took part in the IIIrd Challenge de Tourisme International held in Poland in 1934.
