I think OMA can start preparing a challenge.
You have about 6 hours left.

Surely it must be American?

treadigraph 30th Dec 2019 16:47

It is and one still survives!

oncemorealoft 30th Dec 2019 16:55

I wasn't aware that one still existed. Once the answer is revealed please tell us more.

Budd Conestoga. One at Pima I think?

evansb 31st Dec 2019 05:57

Yup. NOT aluminium, but Stainless Steel. Yes! The RB-1 Conestoga was a twin-engine, stainless steel freight aeroplane designed for the USN during World War Two (2) by the Budd Steel Co. of P.A., U.S.A. Although it did not see service in combat, it pioneered design innovations in post-war cargo aircraft, some of which were later incorporated in modern military cargo planes.

I await oncemorealoft's approval. Excellent post by the way!

Quemerford has it. Well done.

treadigraph 31st Dec 2019 10:44

The survivor at Pima is missing the outer wings, engines, tail plane and fin - don't know if they have the parts for an eventual restoration. It sits next to a Northrop Raider, one of two survivors...

Here goes then:

I don't think that is what I think it is!

Well it might be.....

treadigraph 31st Dec 2019 16:46

It isn't - I was thinking Cessna 407! But clearly earlier than that!

Quemerford 31st Dec 2019 17:51

Ah I see what you mean: this is a twin-engined prop-driven, rather than jet.
