Noyade 5th Nov 2011 21:38

Appears to be behind a steel frame?

A weld at bottom right? In a test-rig?

SincoTC 5th Nov 2011 21:43

Not in a test rig, but actually mounted in an airframe!

Noyade 5th Nov 2011 21:48

Thanks Trevor.
I'm off to enjoy my Sunday, sleep well. Cheers. :ok:

SincoTC 6th Nov 2011 04:09

Good afternoon Graeme:)


I'm off to enjoy my Sunday, sleep well
Thanks mate.

Hope you've had a good day!

Awake as usual, so a little clue for any early risers; this challenger led with it's chin and got knocked out!!!

sycamore 6th Nov 2011 10:50

Boeing X-32B..?

SincoTC 6th Nov 2011 11:23

It is indeed the Boeing X-32B :D

The design that lost out to the Lockheed-Martin X-35 aka Lightning II

The full view of the rear end and that chin!

Sycamore has control; I see your light is on, have you anything for us (and Silhouette Challenge)? If not, then please call Open House!

sycamore 6th Nov 2011 15:15

Sorry lunch was burning......OPEN HOUSE..

Is it a Boeing B-50 Superforress?

Noyade 7th Nov 2011 10:50

No mate. Not American. :)

Noyade 7th Nov 2011 10:55

Maybe the drawing lacks detail?

Here's a photo...

Kongjing-1.
Open House, if correct.

Noyade 7th Nov 2011 11:09

That's the one sabredog. :)


Open House.

skytrain10 7th Nov 2011 11:31

I was close! Same airframe :)

MReyn24050 7th Nov 2011 11:49

Here is a nice easy one:-

Noyade 7th Nov 2011 11:51

Hi Mel.

Mig 3...AQ rules! :ok:

(Now going back to make sure...)

Edit...can't locate it in AQ's archives? Definitely Soviet...

Edit 2...I remember seeing it and thinking the image was inverted. :)

Edit 3...Bugger, it's Tuesday. Open house if it is Mel....:(

MReyn24050 7th Nov 2011 15:19

Graeme. You are perfectly correct it is the MiG 3 and it was the subject of AQ back in about 2006 I believe. As Graeme declares Open House.

SincoTC 7th Nov 2011 21:50

let's have another sharp intake of breath, (no hidden clue there, just the other end for a change)!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...allenge009.jpg

Kitbag 8th Nov 2011 05:40

Was going for MiG 15, but how about the daddy of them all; Gloster E28?

SincoTC 8th Nov 2011 05:56

Morning Kitbag,

Sorry, not one of those two; but it was fairly early!

MReyn24050 8th Nov 2011 19:21

Fokker S14 perhaps.

SincoTC 8th Nov 2011 19:33

Good evening Mel,

No perhaps about it sir :D!!


The Fokker S-14 Machtrainer was a Dutch two-seater military training jet aircraft designed and manufactured by Fokker for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Development started in the late 1940s, and it was one of the first jet fighter training aircraft in the world, making its first flight on 19 May 1951 and entering service in 1955
MReyn24050 has control :ok:

MReyn24050 8th Nov 2011 22:34

Thanks Trevor. Here is the next one:-

trucky04 9th Nov 2011 08:47

Grumman or something the U.S Navy would fly?

Lightning Mate 9th Nov 2011 08:56

Good morning Mel.

Not dissimilar to the Chance Vought F2G1 Corsair Reno racer.

sycamore 9th Nov 2011 11:11

With a 4-blader in front and exhaust flame shields,more likely an A-1 Skyraider..?

MReyn24050 9th Nov 2011 12:07

Good Morning David. Sycamore has it, the aircraft is in fact a Douglas AD-4N Skyraider F-AZHK.

Are we going to get a challenge from you Sycamore?

sycamore 9th Nov 2011 16:20

Sorry ,been `shopping`,so OPEN HOUSE....

SincoTC 11th Nov 2011 05:57

Good evening Graeme,

Just a wild shot in the dark, is it a P-63 Kingcobra ??

I've got the dog back 'til Sunday, just off for a walk now on a wet and dark morning, Open House if correct! Don't think it is now, as it looks to be nose-mounted, a Russian or Jap maybe, alas as no time to look furthe right now!

Lightning Mate 11th Nov 2011 06:56

Is that a Sabre V24?

Noyade 11th Nov 2011 09:47

Morning!

Not a Cobra of any sort. Not Japanese or Russian or powered by a Sabre engine.
Not WWII.

Lightning Mate 11th Nov 2011 09:50

So am I looking at a straight 12 (very unusual) or a V24?

Maybe a seaplane......

Noyade 11th Nov 2011 10:00

Hi David.

12-cylinder Vee liquid-cooled.
Not a seaplane.

Lightning Mate 11th Nov 2011 10:10

Lots of those around.

An Allison?

Noyade 11th Nov 2011 10:14

Not an Allison.
