Guess that Plane! Resurrection!

[jammyozzy]

All I can think of is a U-21 Ute, but the tail's sitting too low to the ground and the enine cowlings are too small.

I think you've ot me beaten here Duke. 👍

 

[Duke]

All right, I'll give it: it's a Cessna 310. In military guise it was the L-27A or later the U-3A.

Somebody else post one up!

 

[jammyozzy]

Because this thread needs a bump...

I had no idea what it was, so maybe it's difficult enough.

 

[Duke]

Ooooh, I know that one. Is that a Bede 4?

 

[jammyozzy]

Yep, a Bede BD-4.


So far most of my planes have been guessed first time.

 

[Duke]

Damn I dragged that one out of the bottom of my memory! I didn't notice the side of the cowling until just now.

Post another one up, j-o.

 

[Greycap]

This thread needs reviving... I took the freedom to do it, sorry jammyozzy.

The plane is very easy, but recognizing it from this picture might be a bit harder. Just a walk in the park for aircraft enthusiasts though.

 

[fatman_5050]

Vought F4U Corsair?

if i'm right, throw another one up there Greycap

 

[Greycap]

Yep, it can't be said in a more correct way than you did. 👍 For the future, when you know the answer, it's your turn to post the next one.

 

[jammyozzy]

Wow, small pic! Is it an Il-2?

 

[Greycap]

I'm sorry about the small picture, I removed the linking by mistake. Now it's a normal thumbnail, click to enlarge.

And no, not an Il-2 but that was about as close as you can get without the right answer.

 

[Greycap]

Nobody, really?

 

[High-Test]

Il-10?

 

[Greycap]

And he scooorrreeesss! Post one up.

 

[High-Test]

Alright.. I gotta find one that's worthy.

 

[High-Test]

Greycap will get this one in a split second:

 

[Duke]

Damn! Image Shack gave me a million popups with that!

I do believe that's a Vickers Vimy.

[edit] Actually, perhaps not. Gonna have to think a bit. Handley-Page?

 

[High-Test]

Well, you got the manufacturer...

 

[Duke]

Well, it's got to be a 100 or a 400, so I'll go with 100.

 

[High-Test]

Nope. I didn't read it as being an H.P.100...

the H.P. 100 was supposed to be a delta winged supersonic bomber, and I don't think what I posted could break the sound barrier. But, it would give the pitz a run for it's money.

 

[Duke]

No there is an older version of the 100. I believe it has 2 engines to the 400's 4 engines, but I'm going on memory here.

 

[High-Test]

I'll take your word for it, but, I'm 100% sure the Handley-Page site said the plane I posted is not an H.P. 100.

(it's the last H.P. Biplane bomber if I'm not mistaken)

 

[Duke]

Well, in that case, I go with the 400.

 

[jammyozzy]

I don't think it's the O/100 or the O/400, the tail looks wrong.

 

[el flexo]

you guys like planes, well, if you go onto google earth, go to honunlulu, in the south west, there is a triangla that is brighter than the rest, zoom in, and on the ground, you can see the shadow of an overpassing light aircraft

 

[High-Test]

nope, It IS a Handley-Page, but not an O/100 or O/400.

 

[jammyozzy]

Aah, it's 3 engined! I thought that right hand prop was in the wrong place.

Is it a Handley Page 43?

 

[High-Test]

3 engined? No, it's two engined.

I'll conclude this, It's an H.P. 38 Heyford. Someone post one up.

 

[Greycap]

After a long while, here goes:



Continuing on the "wires and canvas" path.

 

[Duke]

Se-4?
