Evening Graeme :),

That looks like it may be the the first prototype of the great "Frightening" aka the English Electric P.1A

Open House if correct please as I'm not sure if I can get back today :(

Noyade 20th Mar 2012 08:08

Well done Trevor. :ok:

Open House.

2 or 4.....?

MReyn24050 20th Mar 2012 14:23

This aircraft only had 1. Do not let the wheel lead you astray.

Lightning Mate 20th Mar 2012 14:24

:eek:.........


Do not let the wheel lead you astray
It certainly has been....

The prop blade shadow might well mean it was landed with the engine already stopped.

G'day Mel.

American? Initially thought P-36, but doesn't fit.
Another desperate thought was a French Bloch - 157.

Have we crashed in North Africa?

Off to work now. Cheers.

Karlark 21st Mar 2012 03:41

Hi :).

I'll try to help continue the hunt... Reggiane Re.2002 Ariete, maybe?

Open house if correct.

MReyn24050 21st Mar 2012 13:51

It is indeed a Reggiane Re.2002 Ariete :ok: following a mishap. Karl has requested Open House.

Morning LM :)

Maybe a Fouga CM.88-R Gémeaux ??

Lightning Mate 22nd Mar 2012 07:29

Morning TC. :)

That is so, so close and I'm tempted.

This one is single engine - wanna nuther quick shot?

edit: sod it - it's yours mate.

It's the Fouga Cyclone.

SincoTC 22nd Mar 2012 12:17

Thanks David, very generous mate, I didn't have time to check out my hunch, but I thought it looked too small for the Cyclone :)

I've been very busy all morning and I won't be able to monitor very often this pm as I've got a business call from Canada at 3 o/c, but will do what I can as I don't like to throw another OH.

Good evening TC. :)

Do I see an intake ?

SincoTC 22nd Mar 2012 17:54

Good evening LM,

Yes you do see an intake :)

Off home soon via "walkies" and some shopping, will check back back later!

MReyn24050 22nd Mar 2012 20:10

Trevor, a ramjet is it not, one of a pair fitted to a Lavochkin La 9?

SincoTC 22nd Mar 2012 20:23

Good evening Mel,

A well timed return from my part-time duties!

It is indeed the one Lavochkin La-9 that was fitted with two underwing PVRD-450 auxiliary ramjets and given the Designation La-138 :D

You have control :ok:

Supper now, then off for the house-sitting part, back later with luck!

MReyn24050 22nd Mar 2012 21:03
