Boeing 377?
|
I'll subtract 70. B307?
|
Yes, it is the Boeing 307 Stratoliner, the first pressurized cabin airliner.
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/...penthouse4.jpg Your turn. |
Sorry all. I had forgotten I had posted.
Open house. |
No takers?
How about this? I'm not sure if it will be extremely easy or very difficult. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psywiboweq.jpg |
A gunner`s turret control...?
|
Going with Sycamores suggestion is it a Frazer-Nash mid upper (dorsal) turret?
|
Yes, it's a turret but there is a cockpit in the picture.
|
Right, so we're after that little blur of light in the picture?!
I'll still go with an FN turret in the tail of the queen of the skys; Avro Lancaster |
I`ll go with Halifax....
|
sycamore,
You're wrong and I'll give a clue why. I took the photo yesterday at the Aerospace Museum in Calgary - no Halifaxes there. ;) Kitbag is correct. It's a Lancaster Mk X., FM136: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psmbc4f9oa.jpg I had wandered around to the tail after I noticed that the rudder trim tabs had external mass balances, which surprised me. I then had a look in the turret and now have even more respect for the poor sods who had to sit in that cramped little space, in the cold, peering into the darkness for nightfighters. I read that the gunners often took out the perspex that I took my photo through, in order to have a better view! The turret doors were open and I realized I could see all the way to the cockpit. Kitbag has control. |
TVM I42. I wouldn't have got anywhere without Sycamores initial suggestion. Anyway, lets see where this big bird goes;

Junkers Ju-90?
|
Ratty, close; right country & requirement, wrong manufacturer
|
How about the FW 200 Condor? If correct only arrived at with the generosity of the hints and has to be open house as on an early :zzz:
'866 |
866 has it the FW 200 Kurier or Condor
|
And it's Open House!
|
Identify the aircraft:

I'm going late '20s/early '30s Italian?
|
Not Italian, but yes, 1930s.
