• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

The Thorp T-5, aka the Boeing T-5, an early design by John Thorp of Fletcher FU-24 fame, n'est-ce pas?

First down at midfield for the Sopwith :icon29:side, with a splash of Gatorade for Andy :very_drunk:.
 
Never tasted Gatorade, may I stick with (what is presumably) the British equivalent?

The photo is a little deceiving to me, looks like an RC model.

That said haven't a clue of it's origin whether full scale or not.
 
I have to admit to a little deception, when srgalahad wrote about "a horrid critter in a grainy photo" I thought it was compulsory. :biggrin-new:

It isn't radio controlled, but it is a kit plane. Hopefully this non grainy photograph might clear things up a little.

That's the bunny. I always check back on this thread to make sure I'm not covering old ground and I was intrigued to see a challenge from 2008 to "post something tasty from Sherwood" with no follow up, so I knew I was on safe ground.

Over to you!!
 
This one went unidentified on another forum...

Was this a flyer, Kevin ? The strutting is a complete shambles - different numbers and angles on port and starboard - and the whole thing looks just, er, wrong !
 
"So I always wanted to built a Marcel Jurca MJ-5 Scirocco... after 25 years I found the set of plans under 6" of mud in a flooded basement, pulled out my 1965 Black & Decker jigsaw, et VOILA!"
