Something from the Russians I believe.

Your photo looks like the DIS IT with radial engines and four bladed props. |

It is the DIS - - it had a whole slew of later names as they tweaked it before putting it into production but MiG 5 was one of them
sablatnic has the con |
Thanks!
Have this: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....64010361a5.jpg I have always felt sort of sorry for it - have that feeling, that the designers could have made it a better aircraft without too much effort. |
Blackburn Firecrest? OH if so...

Open house!

Another disappointing mid 40's Blackburn aircraft - they lost the plot for a while clearly.
Here's one that I'd forgotten about totally even though quite a few were built IIRC. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....672063149a.jpg |
It was also built a with a tricycle u/c
|
About 200 built I think, not a type I've ever encountered in the flesh...
|
There are still a few around I understand... used to be common around the place they were built

Not India - Quemerford is heading in the right direction - .................. just goes to show what you can do when a Govt is paying the bills..............

Looks a bit like a Deepak, but they didn't have a split windscreen.
