Spot on, your go 👍

 

[DQuaN]

Sorry, I was at work and very bored.
Here we go...............

 

[Mike Rotch]

I'll be back in about an hour to give some guesses 👍

 

[Solid Fro]

Swedish Air Force markings. I would be surprised if it isn't a SAAB.

 

[Ev0]

SAAB 32?
[Edit]heh, 666th reply

[DQuaN]

Wow, good job EvO. Your turn.

 

[Ev0]

This one "looks" easy...

 

[DQuaN]

Well it "looks" like a Hornet but I guess we have to find out which version.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Is it an F-18 (R) ?

 

[911_Carrera]

I wonder whether that's a maple leaf on the side.

CF-18A

or CF-18B

Hornet with cold weather survival gear!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Wait a second. Is that a Northrop F-18 L?

 

[DQuaN]

From that pic it's pretty much impossible to tell which version it is (unless you are very good). Its still a single seater so that narrows it down slightly but man this is hard. I'll have a stab in the dark and say F/A 18C.

 

[DQuaN]

Hang on...is it the F/A-18E?

 

[The359]

Most definatly not an F/A-18E/F, the engine inlets are square on the E/Fs and round on the A/B/C/D.

 

[DQuaN]

I'll stick with C then for now, its the only single seat there.

 

[911_Carrera]

And I will stick with CF-18A

Possibly 410Sq

 

[DQuaN]

I looked up 410sq and none had those tail decals. Neither did any other CF18 for that matter. Although it may not have been a complete listing. Where is Ev0?

 

[keram]

Its certainly Canadian; it has what looks like the canopy painted were the nose gear are. i.e. a black elipse.

 

[911_Carrera]

That is called the "false canopy" paint scheme.

I think it's supposed to confuse as to which way-up the plane is.

And I have found that tail fin

So it is a Canadian Hornet. CF-18A.

Sorry, I was at work and very bored.

hey DQuaN I posted the Saab 32 Lansen a little while back and there was alot of problems with people guessing it. Someone obviousley remembered it...

 

[DQuaN]

I thought that was unusually quick.

Hey Carrera looks like you got it. Can you provide a link to where you got that pic so we can confirm? If Ev0 does not come back soon you might as well put up a new pic.

 

[Ev0]

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, my internet went down today. Carrera got it, btw, so it's his go.

 

[911_Carrera]

Nice lines.

 

[Duke]

Would that be a Boulton-Paul Defiant?

 

[Ev0]

I think Duke got it, I can't think of any other planes like that with a turret in the backseat (maybe the Fairey Battle, but that plane is definitley not a Battle).

 

[Solid Fro]

Yup, it looks like a Defiant to me.

 

[911_Carrera]

It is a Defiant.

Sleek lines, Merlin engine.

Heavy turret and second crew - didn't work!

 

[Duke]

Not to mention the lack of forward-firing guns... in a fighter?! Pretty, though... Here goes the next one:
