Extra point if you can explain the connection with dried fish.

Yeah, Norway trained several hundred pilots and airmen in Toronto. Pretty big operation. They used PT-19s and PT-26s, as well as Curtiss Hawks, Harvards and other aircraft. The PT-19 is an absolute delight to fly!

That last one would be a Caproni Ca.310, known as the "klippfiskbomber" ("klippfisk" is dried and salted fish. Also known as bacalao), because of a trade agreement between Norway and Italy.

Yes ... Caproni 310

B20 is correct. Might want to wait a while to give someone the chance of identifying the civvie, but you're welcome to post another pic later tonight :)

The Beechcraft Model 77 Skipper. Produced from 1979-1981. 312 were produced.

Aye! Didn't fool you for a second there with the Tomahawk lookalike ;)

Your controls, Zaxis and evansb.

I'll sit this one out.
Blackburn was from memory but the Skipper foxed me.

Here is the next challenge:http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...psc4a4a6b9.jpg

Handley Page HP.51.

Sorry, not the HP.51.

That paddock looks pretty big, are the aircraft Russian?

Not Russian, however the photo was taken in the spirit of an Imperial based Manifest Destiny.

Japanese then: I can't match up the 4 blade props but Mitsubishi G3M?

Several years older than the Mitsu G3M
