Specifically, it is the Boeing 367-80 prototype jet airliner. Known as the "Dash-80",
with test pilot Tex Johnston at the controls, he performed a barrel roll over Seattle in August of 1955. It has come to be known as a 707, but the manufacturer's build plate says it is a model 367-80. Yes, its civil registration is N70700, but the FAA registry lists it as a model 367-80.

Yes, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Sorry Brian, I didn't think you wanted to be that specific. :)

I'm curious though. I watched this video and your challenge photo appears as you have posted it...

VIDEO: Boeing 707 Barrel Roll by Test Pilot Tex Johnson | Airline Reporter | Blogging on the airline business

...but I'm wondering if that clip has accidentally rotated the photo on the vertical axis?

It's the outer starboard engine?

Wet miserable Saturday afternoon.

I'll carry on with artwork and schematic of an "exhaust pipe"...

British single bay biplane from the inter-war period.

Gloster Grebe?

Noyade 18th August 2012 07:42

Morning to you Kitbag.

British, yes - but not the Grebe.

Kitbag 18th August 2012 10:43

Possibly the first Hawker type- Woodcock?

Noyade 18th August 2012 10:59

Well done mate, the Hawker Woodcock II. :ok:

All yours.

Kitbag 18th August 2012 15:52

It would appear to be a 3-cylinder pusher. Pre-WW.II flying boat ?

sabredog 19th August 2012 09:19

Not a pusher type,Brian,nor a flying boat. Certainly prior to WW2.

SincoTC 19th August 2012 11:00

That looks rather like an Anzani "Fan" type engine, there seem to be a lot of variations in the pushrod/head layouts and this is similar in appearance to that used on the 1908 Bleriot monoplane; so is this machine pre or post WWI ?

I expect it's just a trick of the light or the "ghost in the machine", but that does look like a face peering out of the dark area behind the engine ??

MReyn24050 19th August 2012 12:41

Latvian I believe Terry possibly the Cukurs C-2?

sabredog 19th August 2012 14:11

That is the one,Mel.

MReyn24050 19th August 2012 14:41

Thanks Terry. A very interesting aircraft and well worth the research. Here is the next.

Wright -R-3350 on a P5M Marlin...OH if correct...

MReyn24050 19th August 2012 22:46

It is indeed the Wright -R-3350 on a Martin P5M Marlin.
Sycamore has stated Open House.

evansb 19th August 2012 22:49

Wow! sycamore declares an OPEN HOUSE! Will wonders never cease! I don't believe he has ever posted a photo challenge.
