French?

Could it be a Supermarine 508/529?

sycamore 6th Sep 2010 10:18

Could be a Saab J-29 ?

Ali Qadoo 6th Sep 2010 10:20

F-101 Voodoo?

Kitbag 6th Sep 2010 10:47

You're all in roughly the right time frame, but this is mainland European, and operated by a number of nations.

Ali Qadoo 6th Sep 2010 11:19

Fiat G-91?

Kitbag 6th Sep 2010 13:21

Spot on Ali Qadoo, an aircraft I've always found pretty. It won the NATO Lightweight Strike Fighter competition of 1953, meeting some pretty stringent demands in the process, used by Germany, Greece, Italy and Portugal over 700 built. A further development was replacing the single Orpheus turbo jet with a pair of GE J85 reheated engines in a slightly refined airframe.

Just out of interest, does anybody else know of a similar in service evolution i.e. jet single to twin engine design?

Ali Qadoo 6th Sep 2010 13:46

Away from home, armed only with my trusty laptop. Open house.

Fitter2 6th Sep 2010 21:41

This isn't on the list, something completely different.

asw28-866 7th Sep 2010 05:17

Not perchance the Currie Wot?

'866'

Fitter2 7th Sep 2010 06:55

Wot? What? Not a bad guess, but no.

Fitter2 7th Sep 2010 19:32

Over 12hrs without a bite? Just to be helpful, ASW28-866 was in the right part of the world and the correct wing count.

Kitbag 7th Sep 2010 19:58

Mate, you can go days without a bite (check out the Lakota posts #4511-4521):p

Anyway, I'll go for Spartan Three Seater

asw28-866 7th Sep 2010 23:00

Alright I'll go again...Isaac's fury?\

'866'

Fitter2 8th Sep 2010 07:01

Kitbag - 2 seats too many.

ASW28 - not the mini-Fury (although there was one parked only 50 yards from the mystery cockpit).

asw28-866 10th Sep 2010 03:59

Complete guess now....a 'Ragwing'?

'866'

Fitter2 10th Sep 2010 06:59

I didnt know there was a specific type called 'Ragwing'. I must look it up.

Anyway, no.

There are 25 of the challenge type on the CAA register, so it isn't exceedingly uncommon.

evansb 10th Sep 2010 18:32

Mignet pou-du-ciel ?

VX275 10th Sep 2010 18:48

FRED says poo to the Flea.

Fitter2 10th Sep 2010 19:53

I suppose, Bri, you may have been misled by 'the right number of wings'. And I'm 99% sure, although I haven't looked, that there aren't 25 Mignet Fleas on the G-INFO register.

There are, however 25 FREDs, including this one
http://i53.tinypic.com/vyrsqf.jpg
so I guess VX275 has control

Kitbag 10th Sep 2010 23:11

I feel I have to call foul on this.

How can the right number of wings in relation to a biplane (Currie Wot) suddenly become a parasol monoplane?


Answers on a post card

aviate1138 11th Sep 2010 05:24

This postcard says it looks like a biplane that has lost a pair of wings......:rolleyes:

Fitter2 11th Sep 2010 06:46

Mea culpa

I took so many pics at Sywell last weekend I mixed up my aircraft and panels, and only realised my error after posting the pic of G-ORAS.

The panel was indeed FRED, and profuse apologies for misleading the experts.

Hangs head in shame.

I hope VX can do better...........

VX275 11th Sep 2010 14:01

Sorry guys I've never managed the trick of posting photos here so OPEN HOUSE.

PM me if you feel you could help as I do have a few cockpits to offer.

Fitter2 11th Sep 2010 14:32

VX275 - check your PMs.

Fitter2 16th Sep 2010 21:50

Is there a next challenge?
 
Since VX appears to have gone into hiding, does that make it open house?

evansb 17th Sep 2010 01:07

Given that nearly a week has gone by, I would say YES.

DIBO 19th Sep 2010 08:36

I'll give it a try with this one :

sycamore 19th Sep 2010 10:19

Must be a `Zeppelin` of some sort ...

DIBO 19th Sep 2010 12:14

well Sycamore, the 'lighter than air' clue might be in the right direction, judging from this picture :

http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/HPIM0210.jpg

but with all these clues, the winning answer must be pretty specific

DIBO 19th Sep 2010 14:32

to soothe the pain of all your brain crunching to find the correct answer...
aaaaaaahhh,

sycamore 19th Sep 2010 16:11

How about an ATG AT-10 ?

DIBO 19th Sep 2010 16:26

Nope
Not an AT-10, look closer at the EFIS-EICAS, that will tell you why it can't be the AT-10 ;)

evansb 19th Sep 2010 17:57

ZLT Zeppelin LZ N07-100 ?

DIBO 19th Sep 2010 18:46
