Name This Plane...from the inside

[Smithy]

Well done Fletch, go to the head of the class!

It was indeed a FW 200 Condor

Your turn...

 

[Fletch]

OK, here's the next. You get 2 for the price of 1, cockpit and engineer's station.

[KilroyCD]

Absolutely right there, Smithy!

OK doesn't look like anybody else is going to get it and I can't resist. It was a difficult one this, it's a Northrop Nomad, The SAAF used them as trainers.

It is an Northrop A-17A Nomad. Good show!

Looks like it might be a Consolidated PB2Y Coronado.

 

[Fletch]

Got it!

My 2 cents worth

My mother always loved to sing "Oh, I'd rather be a Hellcat than a fat old PBY."
OK, guys, please resume amazing me.
BTW (shameless self promotion going on here), my show, "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial", opens this Friday, at a theater nowhere near you, unless you live in the New York area.
P.S. God I enjoy this thread!

 

[SamMarlowPI]

Easy one...

 

[Diamondback]

Huey?

 

[SamMarlowPI]

Huey?

perfect-o...i know its a 'plane' thread but i just couldn't resist

 

[Diamondback]

Hey, it flies, right?

I'll abdicate posting the next pic to someone more worthy.

 

[Flieger]

Is it OK if I post one?

/F

 

[KilroyCD]

Any hints???

I'm still looking through my sources, but I haven't found a match yet...

 

[Flieger]

Well... It's American made in its origin, but the one in the photo was made closer to my home. It also has a very famous big sister.

Here's one for you, Flieger:

I have been toying with the idea it might be a Ryan product, such as the PT-22, but I am unaware of any being manufactured outside the USA. Am I getting closer?

 

[Flieger]

Here's one for you, Flieger:

Hmm... Looks like a Gloster Gladiator to my eyes... maybe even a Swedish J 8, you rascal?

Yuh huh. My grandfather was on the Gloster production team.

A bit closer... you are circling the correct role of aircraft anyhow.

Cool! That is something to be proud of. Did you get any chance to talk to him about that period of his life?

Oh yes. He passed on a couple of years ago at 91, but before that had talked about those things a lot.

I have his original indentures from the completion of his apprenticeship, and I have his Dowty tool chest under this desk, which still has all the tools in it, many of which he made himself.
