Plentiful eggs then; maybe ostrich?
(Omelette not omelet) |

Hmm... Reuben? Denver? Diabolo? Po Boy?
Nope, none of the above. It's the Gyro Crusader AG-4! |
Beagle's got it. American Gyro AG-4 Crusader.
Designed by Thomas Miles Shelton and built in Denver, the only significant airport 4045 Nm from Woodley where the other Miles lived. And Gyro is only one letter short of Gyros, the source of a kebab... It seems a shame this design didn't have a chance to thrive, I think it looks terrific. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6566061786.png |
Try a Gyro sandwich whilst you ponder this challenge:

Not familiar with a "gyro sandwich".
Googled it and discovered to my surprise that such a mis-spelled thing does apparenty exist - guess where - the USA which explains it not being widely, if at all understood here. At least, in 50+ years of eating kebabs all over Europe I've never come across it As the rotisserie the meat comes from is a Gyros, not a Gyro (which is demonstrably inedible) and is used to makes doner kababs, souvlaki or plated meals not sandwiches I think the reason is clear enough! |
Can’t recommend a gyro sandwich, but a denver omelet (which is just an omelette in Europe) is a good start to your day.
BEagle, that looks like a French empennage? |
Comme cette Bréguet Flamant?
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bc09aaf0e0.jpg Mais le défi n'est pas un Flamant! |
I would have guessed Flamant too but no dihedral to the tailplane and fin flashes appear to be reversed ie red at the front.

French Aeronavale Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon?
|
Non! Tant pis......

Noyade has it - well done.
The Saro Lerwick, whether with one or two fins, was an utterly dreadfully dangerous device. In the event of an engine failure it was unable to maintain height on the remaining engine and if full power was applied, the rudder had insufficient rudder authority to maintain straight flight. The 'sinking pig' would simply spiral down until it crashed.... |

Looks like the back of a Whitley with somebody else’s tailwheel. Any connection?
|
Maybe it's a glider towing tailwheel; Whitleys were used pretty intensively for this.
A friend of mine told me of how he was being towed out of Brize in a Horsa /Whitley tug when one engine failed; the Whitley didn't have tine to release the tow and it turned upside down taking the glider with it and my friend ended up with a broken leg and a steel plate in his face until the day he died. |
No connection to the Whitley. Tailwheel detail is hard to come by - but here's another artistic version...

First flight - May 1, 1931.
Four engines. Gross weight - just over 12 tons. Bombs and guns. |
well with those clues I found the Grigorovitch TB-5

And we have another winner.
Over to you A 56. :ok: |
