No idea. I hate jets :(

banshee??

[Vulcan607]

i tried to find the most obscure jet i could think of.
and no not a banshee

[STINGERSIX78]

ah, if you zoom the tail, u see blue white red...
must be old yugoslavia.... (without the red star,maybe removed after the soviet union)

soko j-21?

[FOZ_1983]

Ok here's one. First time i've done this so shouldnt be to hard really.

plane in background is a p40 warhawk

[FOZ_1983]

plane in background is a p40 warhawk

yup a P40 in the background. Its tunisia i think?? vulcan got it right, its the bloch (french thing) :D well played guys.

[haitch40]

yes an mb175 remember to rename pics before u post em cos it tells u when u quote it otherwise

[Vulcan607]

yup a P40 in the background. Its tunisia i think?? vulcan got it right, its the bloch (french thing) :D well played guys.

1 got turned over to the Luftwaffe i think

[Vulcan607]

yes an mb175 remember to rename pics before u post em cos it tells u when u quote it otherwise

Are you implying something?

[haitch40]

this will be imposible but id say the clue is in how much damage it has taken

[haitch40]

Are you implying something?

yes it said mb175 in the pic title it was something along the lines of
photobucket foz83 mb175 or something

[Vulcan607]

this will be imposible but id say the clue is in how much damage it has taken

Lordy thats in one heck of a state is it some american plane?

[haitch40]

Lordy thats in one heck of a state is it some american plane?

well it might be and then it might not be but what posibly could be that damaged think along those lines

[Vulcan607]

yes it said mb175 in the pic title it was something along the lines of
photobucket foz83 mb175 or something

Its also near the front of the book i have always on standby,
B for Blosh

[Vulcan607]

well it might be and then it might not be but what posibly could be that damaged think along those lines

Nuclear weapon? if so something from the pacific theatre

[haitch40]

Its also near the front of the book i have always on standby,
B for Blosh

what book is that i need a few aircraft books

[haitch40]

Nuclear weapon? if so something from the pacific theatre

its a plane not a weapon but the pacific is along the right lines

[Vulcan607]

what book is that i need a few aircraft books

I use a mixture of Janes, Obserber book of aircraft, pictorial history of aircraft warfare, and then some big ones whos names escape me

[Vulcan607]

its a plane not a weapon but the pacific is along the right lines

i was thinking that the damage could have be caused by the nuclear weapon,
if not how about kamakazi

[FOZ_1983]

Process of elimination...

Its gear is down and seems to imply that the plane either made a succesful crash landing OR it was stationary and was hit by a bomb or ground fire etc.

The landing gear also comes "out" rather than "in" which narrows it down further....

at a second glace i also struggle to notice any gun ports on the wing.....



hmmm

[haitch40]

The landing gear also comes "out" rather than "in" which narrows it down further....

what you mean by that?

[Vulcan607]

oh and "Aircraft of the Worlds Airforces" list by country/operator

[STINGERSIX78]

no guns in the wings . only a hole for the landing lights.
still there. maybe japanese?

[FOZ_1983]

the japanese fighter - oscar?

[haitch40]

also the wreck is so bad that i am not 100% sure its what the website i got it off says it is but il trust them

[haitch40]

the japanese fighter - oscar?

no but japanese is along the right lines

[FOZ_1983]

what you mean by that?

bit like the spitfire/hurricane

the spitfires wheels when lowered come in towards the feselage, the hurricanes go out towards the wing... thats what i meant. Was trying to make it simple lol. Sorry.

I still think i could be the "oscar" in the pic.

[haitch40]

oh right
since the evidence says it is not what i was told by the website il give u it but it said it was a zero

[FOZ_1983]

could of been a plane with fixed gear, but then again i see a slot in the wing for the landing gear to retract into.... could just be part of the damage though!

[FOZ_1983]

in all fairness to your website it could be a zero fighter :D just because we cant see the ports on the wings for the guns it doesnt mean they are not their lol. Its a wreck, its in a bad way :P

[STINGERSIX78]

i guess a zero...

didnt think it would be
what are we looking at, is that a tail unit and elevators or a wing and engine?

[haitch40]

hellcat or wildcat?

no

[STINGERSIX78]

looks like wwII in europe .
A20?

[Vulcan607]

westland Lysander?

[FOZ_1983]

I think its a fighter anyway. Tail section, europe, lack of a tail hook could imply that its land based....

hmm

[stealth finger]

a plane from Chitzen Itza. Quimbaya culture. insect in gold.
on display in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.
but i think it is a fake.

damn looks like i missed about 6 pages of this tread lol. They're not fake (i dont think).

http://atlantium.blogspot.com/2007/01/atlantium-episode-xi.html

Gold model airplanes were found in the 1950's and have been classified as Mayan Idols or children's toys. These models are very accurate representations of advanced jet aircraft. Modern model builders copied the objects to make a full scale radio controlled model and the scale model flew with great stability.

[Vulcan607]

Righty ho here one

Knew it was hawker, it has that distinct hawker look to it.

[Vulcan607]

Knew it was hawker, it has that distinct hawker look to it.

i know what you mean a sort of traditional approch to design.

[Robotic Pope]

just dug up a picture of a fury by the way, No wonder I thought it was a fury, its vertualy identicle to a Mk1 fury just with two seats not one.

[Vulcan607]

yeah lol i had to check myself when you said fury so i had a picture of a fury and what it is next side by side to see if there was any difference

[Robotic Pope]

ok. Is it an Audax? Even cheating and looking at pictures makes me not sure. Almost all the planes Hawker developed in the 30's seem to look the same, just scaled up or down.


Foz was of course correct, it was a sea vixen on fire.

[Vulcan607]

nah sorry not that either.

[Robotic Pope]

nah sorry not that either.

Oh my days! lets try the Hawker Hardy then. No joke, they are identical.

Edit: Ahhh no wonder they all look the same. Audax, Demon, Hardy, Hind, Osprey, Hartbees, Fury and Hector are all just different versions of the Hawker Hart.

[Vulcan607]

"Har" is good "dy" not so

[Robotic Pope]

Oh my days! lets try the Hawker Hardy then. No joke, they are identical.

Edit: Ahhh no wonder they all look the same. Audax, Demon, Hardy, Hind, Osprey, Hartbees, Fury and Hector are all just different versions of the Hawker Hart.

lol Its like we were trying to tell the difference between a MkI, MkII and mkV spitfire as if they were a completly different plane.

I'm glad that by saying Fury straight away without cheating, I was in a way correct from the start.

[Vulcan607]

your kidding me!
Yeah Hawker Hart,sorry to put you through that i should have researched it a bit.

[Robotic Pope]

No problem. It was kinda fun playing spot the difference lol.

A-37B Dragonfly or "Super Tweet"

The attack version of the T-37 "Tweety Bird", also known as the "Converter" because it converts fuel directly into noise. Fun little jet, but LOUD if you gotta work anywhere near it.

Was hard, but i remember alot of news and info of the falklands war. The super etantard was our biggest threat because it carried the anti ship missiles.

[Robotic Pope]

Well its a Lavochkin right? And its not a 5,7,9 or 11. I really don't know. It looks very small, like a La(I-16) lol

[FOZ_1983]

Looks just like an LA-5... very much like an LA-5 but that would be to obvious surely? and soviet does like to make things tricky ;)

Is lavochkin on the right lines though?

Its got to be an La, the wings and fin are for sure. I'm pretty sure its not an la-5 though. The engine looks much larger with bigger intake and the rear fusalage a lot shorter (maybe just the angle?) the rear of the cockpit also angles up more. Ive never seen that fairing on the fusealage just above the wings before either.

This is a good one Ace ;)

[Spitfire23]

Hmmm, hey soviet i do believe that right there is the Polikarpov I-185 M-71.

I can see why people would mistake it for something in the La series :grin:

To be perfectly honest if i had never played 1946 before i would never have guessed it

He's right you know. I'd never have got that I hadn't even heard of it before. I guess I was close though saying an La(I-16) :D

Very good. I knew that La would be given some serious thought, and so I had to give something not well known but fairly easy by look. :P

Yeah, Emilies make great targets for my patrolling Wildcats, Hellcats, Buffalos, and any other US Navy/Army Air Corp. plane I can think of that's fighter capable. :cool:

Catalina wouldn't be a bad plane, just to fly around in. (Doesn't even have to be war time, just flying around the Pacific and Atlantic etc. would be so much fun in one of them.)

Redblock engine (http://www.ford-wiki.com/wiki/Volvo_Redblock_Engine)

[flynlion]

So the H-1 racer had a 2,000 mile range, 3100 fpm climb and could shoot down any allied fighter in existance until 1943?

I love the H-1, gorgeous airplane, but it's not a fighter. To say that the Zero (or the FW190) had anything more than a superficial resemblance to it is unjustified. Might as well claim that any metal airplane with flush rivets is also a copy of the H1.

Here's a link y'all might dig:

Ha! I guess it's not much of a video, definately has a "home movie" quality to it. But you really think the H1 is ugly? It's beautiful! I just gotta find a better video or pic or something to help you appreciate its awsomeness......;)

[juz1]

not every copied design has the exact same performance....:rolleyes:

it wouldn't have been the first fighter based on a racer design around that time, although countries tended to base the fighters on racers designed in their own country e.g. spits and macchis

Its a well known part of Japanese ingenuity to make the best use of derivative design...they do it better than anyone. Just ask any mx5 or lexus owner....

Vaporizer Review (http://vaporizer.org/)

[Soviet Ace]

Wasn't the H1, just one of Howard Hughes racers from the 30s that he crashed in or something? It was in LA in fact, that he crashed. Anyway, I don't think it could have been fitted to be a fighter, would have had to overhaul it, and such.

And Macchi was a racer before WW2, and than was told to start making fighters for Italy. They still do make some sea plane racers I think?

and trainers...

I'm not saying the racers were fitted as fighters, but racers largely influenced the fighters in a number of cases...

BMW VI HISTORY (http://www.bmw-tech.org/wiki/BMW_VI)

[flynlion]

I think virtually all of the great piston engined fighters were influenced by 1930's air racers, why not accuse them all of "pinching"? To claim that the Japanese simply "pinch" other designs is an extremely simplistic viewpoint and ignores a great engineering accomplishment. Very few modern aircraft can perform as well as the Zero on as little fuel. Give 'em a little credit why don't ya? :P

[juz1]

I've already used words like "ingenuity"...and alot of the zeros performance was due to it lacking pretty much any safety equipment or luxury items (like radios) which pilots/ground crew would strip out post build to keep the weight down.

If credit is due its the pilots that fought in them. Great plane but bit of a death trap...

I agree with you there, but we should also remember that the Zero only became a "death trap" after it had been in service for several years. Early in the war it was virtually unstoppable, and the allies never did produce a carrier based fighter that could match the Zeros range.

You also have not produced any evidence to indicate that the similarities between the Zero and the H1 were anything more than superficial. Clearly the Japanese were impressed by the H1. So was Kurt Tank. So what?

Ok, so maybe I'm getting a bit too defensive here. Point is I would LOVE to own a Zero as a peacetime toy. I would have to modify the cockpit some to get my 6'5" American sized body to fit, but what fun! And as efficient as the Zero was, I could even afford the gas bill :P

They do somewhat have the same characteristics as one another Long sleek body, and small. But you have to also realize, that most planes during certain decades look quite similar (kinda like cars of the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s etc.). I couldn't find anywhere on the net, that said Mitsubishi got their idea or design from the H1, or even that they looked at the H1 to make a fast plane. Though it does say Kurt Tank's FW design group did get somewhat inspired by the H1.

[flynlion]

And what about the Russians? Look at your picture Soviet, it's a fast airplane with a round engine! No way the inferior Soviet engineers could have come up with that on there own. They must have copied Howard Hughes!

What? If you hadn't realized, most Radial engine planes have rounded off noses because the engines aren't straight, and if they were just flat (like early I-16s etc.) they just cause drag, rather making the plane more streamline.

[juz1]

funny- I didn't even mention the engine...start with the tail empennage, the wing planiform similarities...
nevermind, you've made your mind up already...

now as I believe it's my turn to set a plane pic to be identified you can jolly well shut up and pay attention :grin:
