red750 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This was a trick question. The plane is a US aircraft modified and painted to look like a Val for movies and airshows. It is actually a Consolidated Vultee BT-13A. Google the rego N56478 for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ‘Zero’ replicas built for that movie was at Caboolture for a while some years ago. It was registered as VH-ZRO at the time.

red750 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Please note - this is NOT part of the quiz, it is a photo supplied by Phil Perry seeking identification of the plane parked outside to the left of the Republic Seabee in the photo attached. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 What we can see of the tail fin is tiny, the canopy is replaced by plastic. Maybe someone had access to a lot of aircraft scrap and made up a pretend aeroplane. It looks like a bitsa; bits of this, bits of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Could the rudder be missing bits ?. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Given that the wingtip is missing, it's quite likely that part of the tail is too. I'm sure you're right, right down to the exhaust? just ahead of the canopy. The F+W C-3605, nicknamed Schlepp ("Tug") or "Alpine Anteater", was a target towing aircraft operated by the Swiss Air Force from 1971–1987.
