Must be the Hughes D-2.

Not the D-2 Terry but the Hughes XF-11.

Not the D-2 Terry.

From another angle...

An experimental rocket pack?
Fitted to the ventral area of a British WWII bomber?

Sorry Graeme you are way of course on this one. WWII but not British.

Okay mate, thanks.
Catch ya later.

Fisher P75?

Not the Fisher P75. This aircraft was being developed as a high altitude fighter, it was neither British nor American.

The Blohm und Voss Bv-155....?

Right country wrong manufacturer.

The Focke-Wulf Fw-190V18?

Thanks Mel. It was in fine print...

Boeing Model 80 ?

Short and sweet. Well done Brian. :ok:

Your control.

Thanks mate! Here is the next one:

Upside down Boeing 707?


Open house if it is Brian.

Cheers. :ok:

Specifically, it is the Boeing 367-80 prototype jet airliner. Known as the "Dash-80",
with test pilot Tex Johnston at the controls, he performed a barrel roll over Seattle in August of 1955. It has come to be known as a 707, but the manufacturer's build plate says it is a model 367-80. Yes, its civil registration is N70700, but the FAA registry lists it as a model 367-80.

Yes, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Sorry Brian, I didn't think you wanted to be that specific. :)

I'm curious though. I watched this video and your challenge photo appears as you have posted it...

VIDEO: Boeing 707 Barrel Roll by Test Pilot Tex Johnson | Airline Reporter | Blogging on the airline business

...but I'm wondering if that clip has accidentally rotated the photo on the vertical axis?

It's the outer starboard engine?

British single bay biplane from the inter-war period.

Gloster Grebe?

Morning to you Kitbag.

British, yes - but not the Grebe.

Possibly the first Hawker type- Woodcock?

Well done mate, the Hawker Woodcock II. :ok:

All yours.

TVN.

How 'bout this (apologies for the poor quality)

Nakajima Ki-87 ?

Spot on SD, you have control

Thank you,Kitbag. Apologies for the delay.
The next challenge;
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...33/Quiz162.jpg

It would appear to be a 3-cylinder pusher. Pre-WW.II flying boat ?

Not a pusher type,Brian,nor a flying boat. Certainly prior to WW2.

That looks rather like an Anzani "Fan" type engine, there seem to be a lot of variations in the pushrod/head layouts and this is similar in appearance to that used on the 1908 Bleriot monoplane; so is this machine pre or post WWI ?

I expect it's just a trick of the light or the "ghost in the machine", but that does look like a face peering out of the dark area behind the engine ??

Latvian I believe Terry possibly the Cukurs C-2?

That is the one,Mel.
YHC

Thanks Terry. A very interesting aircraft and well worth the research. Here is the next.
