A 140 or a 120?
G'day con-pilot. :)

I'm just a caption guy mate, but they can certainly be wrong. Here's the caption that went with the photo...

The 120 had no side windows in the back I believe and we can see part of one in the pic. That was my clue.

Open house

Hey!
Someone has stolen the thrust levers, flaps and elevator trim wheel thingies.
Better be careful or the wings will be gone next.
Lucky there is that big handbrake lever to keep the brakes on, or the whole thing might have been towed away. :E

Sikorsky S-64 Sky Crane ?

TheiC 18th Oct 2013 03:44

Hmmm, looks like Sikorsky but I'll vote for a CH3 rather than the Sky Crane...

TheiC 18th Oct 2013 07:36

Further work:

It's not the CH3 variant but an S61, the civil version, I think...

fijdor 18th Oct 2013 12:12

I am picky but you guys got it. It is a HH3 but to be precise it is a S-61R, one of the only 3 civilian version ever built.

TheiC your turn.

Good catch, I had forgotten about the back side windows. Well done. :ok:

Many thanks... A smart looking machine.

I'm out until late, so can't put anything up until tomorrow morning (UK time).

I'll say 'open house' and will step in if there's nothing fresh tomorrow.

Here we go:

Early 50's British single jet? Hawker Sea Hawk?

TheiC 19th Oct 2013 11:45


Early 50's British single jet?
Edited my earlier reply, after consideration of the aircraft lineage, to say: yes.


Hawker Sea Hawk?
'fraid not...

Rosevidney1 19th Oct 2013 18:44

Wild guess, Gloster Ace?

TheiC 19th Oct 2013 19:27

...not the Gloster Ace either, I'm afraid.

Supermarine Attacker ?

TheiC 19th Oct 2013 21:01

Again, sorry, no...

evansb 20th Oct 2013 03:18

Supermarine Swift, then..

TheiC 20th Oct 2013 08:43


Supermarine Swift
it is :D

An aircraft with a fascinating history Supermarine Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's the whole thing:
