:)

Strictly speaking (on further research), this aircraft has been done before as its name is in Mel's list but the designation from my source is not quite the same.
Clue: American.

Another clue - only two prototypes were manufactured before the project was cancelled.

stevef 18th Mar 2009 18:52

Not much to go on from the panel, I suppose.
A bit more information: Single engine, larger, heavier and faster than a B25 Mitchell.

Brewster XA 32

Sorry, Bus, not the XA32 but it made interesting reading nevertheless:

Powered by a P&W 4360, first flight 1945. That should get this one out of the way. :)

Curtiss XBTC?

Curtiss XBTC / XBT2C - torpedo-bomber

evansb 20th Mar 2009 16:21

The Douglas (X)TB2D torpedo bomber. Not to be confused with the Douglas BTD-1 torpedo/dive bomber.

stevef 20th Mar 2009 17:43

Bri correctly identifies the Douglas TB2D.

It was originally offered in What Cockpit as the XTB2D and I didn't check that it was the same model. :O

Thank you. Here is the next "What Cockpit?":

Bit of a race,or just a sprint?

evansb 21st Mar 2009 00:41

It is not a Rallye.

Grob, but only because it looks like an UK military hangar

evansb 21st Mar 2009 13:53

Sorry, not a Grob 115, but similar. Not sure if hangar is ex-RAF.

evansb 22nd Mar 2009 18:23

Here is a big clue: The company also developed this design:

I didn't think this challenge would last this long. The aircraft is an all-composite, powered by a Rotax 914. A larger, improved version of the aircraft is powered by a diesel engine.

Is it a SIAI 208?

evansb 24th Mar 2009 15:50

Sorry, not the SIAI Marchetti S.208. The mystery aircraft is a two-place trainer.

S'land 24th Mar 2009 16:03

How about the NAL Hansa from India?

evansb 24th Mar 2009 17:59

S'land is correct:ok: The NAL Hansa II. Over to you.:)
