Not German. Yes, twin engine, WW.II. Not experimental, over 1,000 built.

evansb 9th Mar 2014 14:21

Kinda looks a bit like a DH Mosquito...

Max speed in level flt: 295 kts.

Westland Whirlwind

oncemorealoft 9th Mar 2014 14:49

Westland Whirlwind?

Edit: can't be that as only 116 built.

evansb 9th Mar 2014 15:02

Not a Whirlwind, but certainly a similar category aircraft. She was a beauty, and fast..

semmern 9th Mar 2014 16:20

Doesn't look like a British cockpit..it lacks the typical WWII-era "basic six".
I know I have seen that yoke before, but can't remember where.
Ki-102 perhaps? Or maybe a J1N?

evansb 9th Mar 2014 20:10

Not British. Not the Kawasaki Ki-102, nor the Nakajima J1N..

CoodaShooda 10th Mar 2014 05:15

Petlyakov Pe-3?

In the very unlikely event that I've fluked it, open house. :O

evansb 10th Mar 2014 18:50

Not Russian. Clue: Milky Way.

Noyade 10th Mar 2014 21:20

Ahhh....from Yokosuka? Frances?


That's a very odd-looking yoke
Belated, but I think I found it...

evansb 10th Mar 2014 23:59

Yes !! The sleek and fast Yokosuka P1Y "Ginga" (Galaxy, or Milky Way, your choice..)

Noyade 11th Mar 2014 01:48

Thanks Brian, a lot of clues there, so thanks for that.

Another Jap.....

Japanese + 2 seats + open cockpits = Mitsubishi Ka-8?

Noyade 11th Mar 2014 07:09

Hello Terry. Impressive imagination mate, but sorry, nothing as rare as the Ka-8. However, mine is a Mitsubishi biplane.....

Terry Dactil 11th Mar 2014 07:57

OK. Mitsubishi + biplane = Mitsubishi F1M2 then?
(this one looks like it has the curved rear windscreen so is a better match).

Noyade 11th Mar 2014 08:02

Very nicely done Terry, your control! :ok:

Terry Dactil 11th Mar 2014 10:21

Thank you.
Here is the cockpit of a rather unusual design from the 1930s.
(Severely cropped so more clues can be added later if required).

Stipa-Caproni?

Noyade 11th Mar 2014 11:18

If it is Terry - I'll make it Open House.

Cheers mate.

Terry Dactil 11th Mar 2014 12:09

You got it!
Well done. I thought some clues would be required.
Although the original was demolished in 1933, there is a 3/5 replica that flew in Australia in 2001.
http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3506f6ff.jpg
It would have to be in the running for the World's Ugliest Aircraft prize!
Noyade has declared Open House.

evansb 26th Mar 2014 21:46

Identify the aircraft:

John Hill 27th Mar 2014 05:02

G-AGPD Miles Marathon?

evansb 27th Mar 2014 05:28

Miles Marathon is correct. Your turn.

John Hill 27th Mar 2014 05:30

OH please as I am about to go out for a while.

John

Noyade 27th Mar 2014 06:15

Another Brit then....

Saturday morning clue.
 
From Sopwith....

Kitbag 28th Mar 2014 22:41

Of the many (20+) Sopwith designs I'll plump for the Salamander

Noyade 28th Mar 2014 22:48

Hello Kitbag.

Not the Salamander - think of a name for a fish...

Noyade 28th Mar 2014 23:08

And a photo clue mate...

NutherA2 28th Mar 2014 23:35

Snapper? In the unlikely event of being correct.......OH

Noyade 28th Mar 2014 23:39

Well mate, it's not unlikely - it is the Snapper. :ok:
