It's not Italian...

I would check for peffer-salami

Transall 160?

I know pfeffer-garlic, but what the hell?

Now I know I was wrong before but how about Dornier 228?

Aha - I come back and find you have been diligent! Well done to Kitbag (and A.N. Other who got it first but is obviously a gent - but wasn't quite right..) It is the business end of the Dornier Do228-100 LGW D-ILKA

I picked this out some time ago so if it has been done before apologies:)

Kitbag's Challenge...
 

Perhaps the Seversky P-35A?

Edit: Actually, I now note that the P-35A is on Mel's list from January 2006. Good challenge nonetheless! I'm basing my guess on a USAF Museum photo (different view) and the museum has let me down before. Even so, I think I'll stick with my original identification....and perhaps repent later. :bored:

The floor is yours Glenn :D It is indeed the Seversky P35A. I had to crop this picture mercilessly to get rid of the rudder pedals with the very clear word Seversky on them. This lighty armed and somewhat underpowered aircraft, more or less contemporary with the Hurricane, was the progenitor of the Republic P47. The company name was changed when the Board of Directors forced the Russian born Alexander Seversky out following poor sales of this type despite his best efforts. Fuel leaks were also a major problem as integral non self-sealing fuel tanks were incorporated.

See, it didn't take long at all:O

Ryan PT22?

Sorry, Kitbag. Not the PT-22.

The current challenge...
 

It's bedtime in Oz...

I'll be back on deck to respond to answers, questions, etc, after a sleep.

Glenn

ozbeowulf's challenge
 

Hope you slept well.:) Please check PMs.
Mel

Well I can't get away from the idea that it is a basic non warlike ac, probably American and the instrument panel has had a big mod done to it, maybe for long distance flight.

Haven't got a clue :ugh:

Morning, Kitbag!

Well, you're on the right track except for the instrument panel modification. As far as I can determine, this was the only panel.

Clue time: Another basic part of the aircraft was changed during its life. That mod cannot be seen in this picture.

Glenn

Is it a Lockheed Vega?

Not a Vega, Bri. This aircraft was built a bit later.

Lockheed 8 Altair....formerly Sirius, but now with retractable gear,which may be on the end of that handle on the right ?

Sorry, Sycamore. Not an Altair. Not made by Lockheed, for that matter. However, to a bystander not interested in aviation, this aircraft might resemble an Altair to some degree.

Must be at the start of the Alpha-bet !
