nad the plane is an IMPA Tu-Sa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMPA_Tu-Sa

"In service, the aircraft demonstrated a number of serious and fundamental design flaws that led to a series of accidents and pilots joking that Tu-Sa stood for Todo Un Sarcófago Aéreo ("Altogether an aerial coffin"). "

OH if correct

"Interest waned when the Mods saw it as an attempt to get round the 24 hour rule..................... "

I disagree.

However, you have found the IMPA Tu-SA - well done.

Asturias has declared OH.

This thread does not seem to attract much interest.

Auxtank 28th Feb 2020 19:29

We're niche here in Shadow Land.

Get your teeth in to this one...

Auxtank is, as Asters is want to say; "Nipping out for a bit."

Weapons stations look Saab-ish.

Appears a canard delta.

Auxtank 29th Feb 2020 07:46

Alas, neither of those.

Asturias56 29th Feb 2020 08:25

French perhaps?

Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin ?

dook 1st Mar 2020 08:31

A commendable guess but it's not a Mitsubishi.

Auxtank 1st Mar 2020 09:16

ATG Javelin?

Self loading bear 1st Mar 2020 11:32

The challenge has a pronounced “knuckle” in the fin.

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....778d38c1d.jpeg

Like MiG -35???
But probably more aircraft like that.

dook 1st Mar 2020 11:49

It's not a MiG either.

Asturias56 1st Mar 2020 16:54

Is it Russian?

dook 1st Mar 2020 17:23

It isn't Russian.

Auxtank 1st Mar 2020 19:30

I thought Mig-29 but then I saw that the fins are canted.

dook 1st Mar 2020 20:12

Auxtank gets the banana with the ATG Javelin.

All yours Auxtank.

Auxtank 1st Mar 2020 20:44

I have control. Thank you.

Right. Eyes down...

Very good there dook. Correct. I have no idea how you managed to get that one.

You have control.

dook 2nd Mar 2020 20:20

Many thanks Aux.

Asturias56 3rd Mar 2020 07:22

Partenavia P.68 perhaps?

Archer4 3rd Mar 2020 08:36

Or the Tecnam P2006T.

dook 3rd Mar 2020 10:29

Not a Partenavia or Tecnam.

sycamore 3rd Mar 2020 16:02

Is it R-R/Allison powered...?

dook 3rd Mar 2020 16:08

Lycoming O-320

Self loading bear 3rd Mar 2020 18:00

The Wickham B

dook 3rd Mar 2020 20:22

Well done Bear.

Your shot.

Self loading bear 3rd Mar 2020 20:58

Thank you Dook,
searching twin prop high wing lycoming did the trick.

Now this:

Petlyakov Pe-2 (Pawn) Dive Bomber / Light Bomber????/

Jamesel 4th Mar 2020 02:47

I thought perhaps the Seibel 204, but that has no dihedral in the centre section. Dassault MD 315 Flamant?

I believe a couple are still airworthy in France.

If it so, Open House.....

oncemorealoft 4th Mar 2020 09:40

I believe it's a Dassault Flamant.

Jamesel scores with the Dassault Flamant.
312 or 315, I do not know either.

Open house called.

Oncemorealoft you came in a little bit too late but you are invited to take up the OH.

dook 6th Mar 2020 13:35

A bit quiet.

American? Looks like Florida behind............

dook 6th Mar 2020 17:30
