Guess This Aircraft ?


Recommended Posts

Haha, maybe I should have used that one for the puzzle - short answer is I don't know, I hoovered up the photo from somewhere on the 'net and the caption only mentioned the Maverick (Incidentally I have some reservations about referring to something with that sort name with a feminine pronoun). My best guess though would be a Busby Mustang 2, I've seen a couple of different canopy configurations on them and at least one with a similar cowling.

I remember the Leopard was a perennial favourite in the English flying magazines I used to pore over - never did work out how they planned to seal that huge tip-up canopy to enable pressurisation at 55'000 though. Funnily enough I tripped over a video of one of the prototypes flying the other day - not sure if it was just the small size, but it seemed to approach at a fair clip.

OK. You should have no difficulty with this one then.[ATTACH=full]47016[/ATTACH]

No good... I'm going cross-eyed, so maybe someone else can spot it.

 

But how about this one:

It appears no-one has had success with this one, or wants to take a crack at it, so here it is. This is a Vought VS 326, built on the airframe of the Vought TBU-1 Sea Wolf, and used as a flying test bed for Pratt & Whitney engines.Other photos show it with different engines.

This should be an easy one - four engine transport with a tendency to carry unusual cargoes.

Sopwith Camel? x4

Or was that the Antonov Camel?

Getting close.

 

Another hint: rear loading, depending on the model it can carry a payload of 45 -50 tonnes of camel, goat, illicit arms or paratroopers.

What designation was given to a limited 4 place cabin taildragger which was not put into production, but was re-used 15 years later on a long running high performance retractable?
