Looks like an English Electric Lightning, although with the side-hinged canopy I'm not so sure.

I'd be very amazed if anyone manages to figure this one out.

1 point for the manufacturer.

1 point for the US Navy Designation.

1 point for the name.

1 point for the British service name.

Only one clue concession.... it isn't a Grumann designed aircraft.

No matter the markings, no matter the nation, Soviet Ace always knows his Cold War Soviet Planes! :D

So my guess would that it's either an Su-17 (Don't think so because of the way the canopy is.) Su-22, or it could be one of my favorites.... Su-20 Fitter!!! Really though, it doesn't matter which it is because they're all the same basically. Just a bit of a difference in engines, size, and some controls etc.

Oh, and that's not a TBF- Avenger, it's a TBY Sea Wolf. :D That one was too easy. ;)

EDIT: AND I'LL BE BACK IN A COUPLE HOURS TO POST MY PLANE(S) SO DON'T ANYONE POST A PLANE UNTIL ME!!! :cool:

Nope

And it isn't the Sea Wolf either.

Another few clues:

It was a competitor, against the Avenger, as a replacement for the Douglas Devestator, and not so famous.

Found more on escort and light carriers, land bases and lend lease to Allied nations fighting in the Pacific theatre. Also a trainer.

It could also dive bomb, unlike the Avenger, so no TB prefix.

The company always named aircraft with the same initial letter as the company name.
