Afternoon...looks like a Flitzer...the Z-2 Seeschwalbe?

Artnoon Ken.:)

Bingo!!

Please take the thread. :ok::ok:

Thanks LM. Stand-by, just preparing one.

News...

A Red Arrow has crashed here - no details as yet.

Thanks LM....just read the BBC news flash on the net.

Let's hope the pilot has joined a very exclusive club.

Your challenge - are they tip tanks or sensor pods?

Tip tanks.

Edit, ignore that....they are NOT sensor pods, but there is nothing in the aircrafts description that I have found to say what they are.

Thanks mate.

We have a new member of the Martin Baker club.:ok:

Excellent:ok: Gather it came down near Castlepoint, hope no one hurt on the ground?

Near Hurn Bridge just South of the airport.

Is yours a twin jet bomber?

They appear to have little lateral depth, so I'm wondering if they are simply experimental wing end-plates.

Not exactly...twin prop transport. Props themselves hidden by the fuselage.

Could be...seeing if I can find out.

If it's propeller driven, then I can only assume they are two-bladed, or else one blade would be visible somewhere.

Yep, 2 bladed props...they were in the horizontal position in the photo.

To make life interesting....this is the prototype of an aircraft we have had before, BUT it bears little resemblance to the production model. So I figure I am justified in posting!

Needle in a haystack job then. :\

Skytrain, let's try this: What was the biggest/most prominent change they made to the production series?

Hallo hesham, tell us what it is!

Most obvious...the production model was low wing!

Well, that IS something :ooh:.


Edit: Maybe he says next that it was four-engine, twin-tail and taildragger, too. Or all that plus a jet :suspect:

HappyPass, say something!
