Hi srgalahad!
Please forgive my ignorance of the english Language but could you explain in plain words what is the meaning of: "let's toss this open....have at it!"
Thanks for your patience....

Must be a Canadian colloquialism. :friendly_wink:


Okay, I will have a toss at it with an easy one...

T162 Beaumont? or T163 Buckingham?

no...on further inspection its not......rear of engine nacelles are off..and nose is differant
 
The fuselage looks more in keeping with a Beaufighter, but cannot find a reference to one with 'cufflinks' (Twin fin & rudders).

It is indeed a Beaufighter, just off the top of my head it was an attempt to cure the directional instability of the early versions, leading to the (IIRC) dihedral tailplane.

I had the DA1 filed in my 'Yet to post mysteries' folder, so this one was easy for me.. :mixed-smiley-010:

Hmm it certainly looks Russian! They certainly have this fascination with multi-glazed noses...

Must be the Kamov AK (1943)
 
An other simple one. A hint: It is not one of those things you use to open a botle of wine.....





Success,

Its indeed the Flettner Fl.185 prototype. I knew it was an easy one, but I just liked the picture :biggrin-new: :very_drunk:

Your turn again :dizzy: :pop4:

Cheers,
Huub
 
Let's step away from the veggie slicers. Here is a pleasing little sport plane of the early 1930's.
