Guess the aircraft thread!

[Mike Rotch]

Dont think it is a Meridionali - the struts are wrong. I'm also stumped

 

[DQuaN]

Can we have a clue?

 

[911_Carrera]

Mike Rotch was definitely making dog noises towards the correct foliage.

And EvO identified its home.

 

[DQuaN]

aha, is it a Gloster Gauntlet?

 

[911_Carrera]

It is a Gauntlet.

Confound and delight us DQuaN.

 

[DQuaN]

ok here's a funky one.......

 

[ExigeEvan]

Dornier D0335 Pfeil (arrow)

Didn't we have it a few turns ago?

 

[DQuaN]

Woah that was quick!
Well done.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Its probably not what you think it is

Yes, yes, we did. There have been a couple repeats.

 

[911_Carrera]

So it's probably not a South African Cheetah.

Damn.

 

[ExigeEvan]

You and that damn BOOK!

 

[911_Carrera]

Brain, not book ExpireExpel.

If you know this one you know it.

 

[Duke]

We've had this one, too. Try something else.

 

[Ev0]

If anyone is wondering, it's a CF-105 Avro Arrow. I won't talk about the plane since I will be going on for hours about it, as it is one of my all-time favourites.

Still waiting for a new aircraft.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Whoever comes online first out of Ev0 and Excel can go - to keep things moving.

 

[Ev0]

The plane in the foreground is a...

 

[Mike Rotch]

A Focke-Wulf of some sort?

 

[Solid Fro]

Well, the plane in the background is a DC-3.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I get the feeling that it isnt a German plane

 

[Ev0]

It isn't German.

 

[911_Carrera]

It's a Finn I think.

Fokker D.XXI

As shown on this page

[Duke]

Yes, it's wearing Finnish markings. I'll confirm the ID. Your go, 911.

 

[911_Carrera]

Boom, boom

 

[High-Test]

looks like an early saab. grapen?

 

[Mike Rotch]

This will be a tough one. Dont you have a slightly better pic of the profile or something?

 

[911_Carrera]

That view is quite difficult.

But this might be too easy.

Never mind.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Wow! From the first pic I thought it was a twin prop plane

But it is a Saab 21....?

 

[911_Carrera]

It is.

The only aircraft to see front-line service with both piston (pusher prop) and jet power.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Try this WWii era bomber on for size:
