Wyvern,or something Russian..?

SincoTC 10th Apr 2012 09:54

Morning sycamore :)

Not Russian; but Wyvern will do nicely, It is the turboprop AS Python powered Westland Lysander T.3

Curtiss XP-37 ?

Noyade 10th Apr 2012 21:56

G'day Brian. It is a Curtiss, but not the XP-37.

First flight was February 15, 1941...

One of the early Curtiss XP-40 test aircraft...OH IF correct...

Noyade 10th Apr 2012 22:32

It was a potential successor to the P-40 and built based on actual pilot experience in Europe.
It received a separate P designation.

Noyade 10th Apr 2012 23:52

Last clue...

Noyade 11th Apr 2012 10:16

Prop at far right mate?

Karlark 11th Apr 2012 11:54

Yes it is a prop. Aircraft from the same era as the XP-46. Not American...

Noyade 11th Apr 2012 12:08

Just a stab mate, before retiring. Am I looking down the throat of the Miles M-20?

Karlark 11th Apr 2012 12:14

No Sir, not a British aircraft.

Karlark 11th Apr 2012 17:43

...nor is it European, Russian, Canadian or Australian.

SincoTC 11th Apr 2012 19:32

Good afternoon Karl :),

Is it an Aichi powered Yokosuka D4Y1 (or2) Suisei aka Judy ??

First chance of a look in today and only a few minutes before I have to go out again, so Open House please if correct

Karlark 11th Apr 2012 20:41

Evening Trevor,

Noyade 14th Apr 2012 22:43

G'day SD.

There is a thread on a WW2 forum called "What is it?" and I saw your image there not long ago. Even now I still find it hard to get my head around this, but according to the poster it's the Fiat CR.42?

MReyn24050 14th Apr 2012 23:25

I would say you were correct Graeme.

sabredog 15th Apr 2012 06:47

Correct,Graeme. Described as an exhaust shroud belonging to a Fiat Cr42.
You have control,Graeme.

Noyade 15th Apr 2012 11:44

Thanks gents. Big wave from me and a big wave from him...

VX275 15th Apr 2012 21:27

Is that an American standing on a British aeroplane?

Noyade 15th Apr 2012 21:43

Yes mate. I was hoping to throw you off the scent.

Very famous and well known British aircraft.

sabredog 15th Apr 2012 21:45

Beaufighter?

Noyade 15th Apr 2012 21:48

The Beaufighter it is! :ok:

Your control SD.

sabredog 15th Apr 2012 21:52

Thank you,Graeme. Sorry, but it has to be ;
Open House.

Noyade 16th Apr 2012 10:41
