I could swear
I did. :(

Corsair looks very promising mate. :)

Correct,Karlark. The F4U Corsair.
YHC.

Hi Karl.

Is it that super-duper MiG MAPO jet?

Karlark 14th Aug 2012 22:15

Hi Graeme, yes that be the one :ok:

Your control

Thanks Karl. More of a "plumbing" challenge I guess, but here goes...

My guess is the turbocharged Lavochkin LA-7TK, although I can't find a picture of it....

Edit; Maybe not, does looks Russian though.

Noyade 15th Aug 2012 02:59

This type of aircraft had "reached the limit of its technical potential" by 1939 and the supercharged M-25VTK engine shown was a desperate attempt to improve performance and remain competitive at high-altitudes.

It is Russian, but not a Lavochkin.

Polikarpov I-16?

Noyade 15th Aug 2012 05:39

Yes indeed, the Polikarpov I-16TK.

Your control Karl. :ok:

Karlark 15th Aug 2012 12:18

Thanks Graeme. Here's another intake:

Dunno Karl, but it looks like another super-duper jet fighter of sorts?

Karlark 15th Aug 2012 12:37

This one wasn't too super duper; it never made it past mock up stage.

Edit: It was a LWF contender.

Noyade 15th Aug 2012 20:54


LWF contender
Thanks Karl. That made things very easy. I always thought it was just a two horse race.
Impressive looking machine, looks pretty super-duper to me, the Boeing Model 908....

Karlark 15th Aug 2012 21:31

Yes, that's the one. :ok:

Looks like it stabbed the wall and sprung a leak. :)

Your control.

It does! Just noticed that now.

Open House thanks Karl, as I'm one on one with a Russian.

Vickers Varsity

OH if correct

Noyade 16th Aug 2012 21:41

That's a fair stab, but not the Varsity mate.
This is not a British aircraft.

A Famous individual is responsible for this aircraft. He had a lot of money and became rather reclusive in later life....
