An under-wing jet pack?

Kitbag 22nd Sep 2012 10:14

Puts me in mind of a Canberra. Maybe one of those aircraft used for atmospheric sampling?

one11 22nd Sep 2012 11:33

Noyade is on target

MReyn24050 22nd Sep 2012 13:23

SUD-OUEST SO.30 ATAR BRETAGNE, F-BAYD or F-BAYO perhaps? Just a wild guess based on the letters on the underside of the wing.

one11 22nd Sep 2012 14:52

Not the Atar Bretagne but there is a Bretagne connection

The underwing letters are not part of a registration.

evansb 23rd Sep 2012 02:13

Lloyd Aereo Columbiana Cutiss-Wright C-46 ?

one11 23rd Sep 2012 07:37

Evansb has it. Turbomeca Pallas installed underwing for take off power boost

Thank you. That was a very good challenge. Unfortunately, I don't have anything ready approaching that quality, so it will be OPEN HOUSE.

Noyade 23rd Sep 2012 20:37

Not much quality here either, but it's something to go on with...

Noyade 24th Sep 2012 05:17

Well done mate. Hermes it is. :ok:

Open House.

one11 25th Sep 2012 17:24

As the house has been open for a while.......

That'll be this then:

Northop XP79?

one11 25th Sep 2012 18:22

Yes , Northrop XP-79B. Kitbag has control

Kitbag 25th Sep 2012 19:50

Karlark 26th Sep 2012 01:49

Sukhoi Su 9, aka T43?

Open house if correct.

Kitbag 26th Sep 2012 05:19

The original image I used is captioned Su 11, but as far as I can tell the physical differences were at the front of the aircraft. The Su-11 was a direct development of the Su-9.

Noyade 27th Sep 2012 11:28

Clue
 
The engine is a RM16SM Merlin.

Lightning Mate 27th Sep 2012 12:01

The one-off Welkin.

one11 27th Sep 2012 12:26

If only to get some clue in response......Fiat G.59 ???

SincoTC 27th Sep 2012 13:00

I think LM has probably got it with the Welkin, specifically a special equipped with RM16SM Merlins fitted with "Beard Radiators"

It looks rather like Graeme's photo on the bottom left of this preview:

Noyade 28th Sep 2012 07:02


Welkin.
The Welkin it is. :ok:

Your control LM.

Lightning Mate 28th Sep 2012 07:30

Thanks mate, and good evening.

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...g_29/front.jpg

dixi188 28th Sep 2012 08:32

I think it's a Turbomeca Astazou, but I don't know the aircraft type.

Lightning Mate 28th Sep 2012 08:57

It is indeed a Turboméca Astazou.

Tacklebury 28th Sep 2012 09:26

Nord 1101 "Ramier" ? Open House if correct.

Lightning Mate 28th Sep 2012 09:35

Close but no cigar.

Karlark 28th Sep 2012 12:03

Try the Nord_SFERMA_1110 modification.

Lightning Mate 28th Sep 2012 13:21

That will do nicely.

Over to you. :ok:

Karlark 28th Sep 2012 13:27

Thanks LM. Here is an easy one:

Fiat G 59 Merlin engine trainer.

Karlark 29th Sep 2012 12:54

Open House

SincoTC 30th Sep 2012 11:37

A belated welcome to the thread Krakatoa :ok:

Been OH too long and as I've got to monitor my SC, here's an easy one!

Avro Lancaster with rear mounted Metrovick jet

SincoTC 30th Sep 2012 13:47

Afternoon one11,

You have it :D It is the Lancaster MkII (LL735) being used to test the Metropolitan-Vickers F2/4 "Beryl" engine.


Development of the F.2 continued on a version using a ten-stage compressor for additional airflow. The new F.2/4 - the Beryl - initially developed 3,250 lbf (14.45 kN) and was test flown in Avro Lancaster Mk.II s/n LL735 before being installed in the Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 flying boat fighter. Thrust had already improved to 3,850 lbf (17.1 kN) for the third prototype, and eventually settled at 4,000 lbf (17.8 kN). In comparison, the Derwent developed 10.9 kN in its ultimate form; making the Beryl one of the most powerful engines of the era. Development of the SR.A/1 ended in 1947, ending development of the Beryl along with it. Nevertheless a Beryl from the SR.A/1 prototype was removed and used by Donald Campbell in his famous 1955 Bluebird K7 hydroplane in which he set seven water speed records between 1955 and 1964.

300 Lancaster IIs were built with 1,650 hp Bristol Hercules VI radial engines
one11 has control :ok:

Afternoon SincoTc and thanks for the welcome on re-entry....

SincoTC 30th Sep 2012 20:32

Evening one11, you're welcome for the welcome :)

Hmm; interesting photograph ,

I can't find the photo based on what I think it is; so that probably means it isn't !!
Based on the forward line of the props to where the cockpit appears to be and the distance between the engines, it's not a Beaufighter 'coz they're not Hercules, they look like they may be Perseus, so is it the Cunliffe-Owen O.A.1 Aka "Flying-wing" ??

one11 30th Sep 2012 21:22

Correct engine and airframe, Cunliffe Owen ( or British Burnelli) OA.1. Control back to SincoTC
