Yes, you got it. I saw it parked up at Canberra in the 70's and have never quite forgotten it. Pity it never got off the ground, it would be a brave pilot to fly it.

So over to you.

Noyade 5th Mar 2014 21:35

Thanks Zaxis. Control should go to Brendan Cowan. :) I never knew it had a designation!

Work beckons mate, so I'll make it Open House.

Cheers!

Initially thought Bronco...but now thinking the Convair Charger?

semmern 6th Mar 2014 09:51

It certainly is a Charger :)

evansb 6th Mar 2014 16:07

Yes, it is a General Dynamics Model 48/Convair Charger. It is now your turn to post a challenge.

Noyade 6th Mar 2014 20:05

Thanks Brian - but my Image Host seems to have up and died?

Free image hosting

In the meantime - Open House. Maybe semmern has something for us?

Noyade 6th Mar 2014 21:34

At least TiniPic is working, so here we go again....

Sorry for the delay Zaxis. Well done mate, your control. :ok:

Zaxis 7th Mar 2014 20:38

So it was another Kurt Tank Argentinian creation!

Ahhh...wingtip to wingtip.

FICON project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The idea was tested at Wright Field in the late 1940s using a Douglas C-47A Skytrain and Culver Q-14B Cadet.

Zaxis 7th Mar 2014 20:58

That was quick, well spotted.

SEPECAT Jaguar?

semmern 7th Mar 2014 22:14

You guys are too quick! Certainly looks like a Jag.

Noyade 7th Mar 2014 22:29

(Not a big backyard - lawn mowed.)

Not the Jaguar......

semmern 7th Mar 2014 22:38

This one appears to have tandem main wheels, or just a single one, the Jag has side-by-side. Hmmm..back into the think tank.
