I agree. It's important to remember that for every success in aviation there are a hundred or more "failures". Those of us who have tried to make a living in the biz will certainly testify to that LoL

whats this?

tu-2

well done

try this
 

i want name of plane and maker

looks like a butchered Supermarine Sea plane in luftwaffe colours.
I would guess that its a Dornier but i dont know.

oh yes i do its a
Blohm and Voss BV 138

well done thought no1 would get that

last one i have in mind at moment

Name of both visible aircraft and their makers
http://richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/M...ets/Victor.jpg

Martin Baltimore?

The one in the foreground is a Handley-Page Victor, not sure about the other.

correct

still wrong...

I'll tell, since everyone's moved on anyway... it was the me309.

Good one Danny. From what I've read on the Me-309, some versions even had a pressurized cockpit for high altitude intercepts, very unusual for a single engined fighter. Problem was that all that extra stuff made it too heavy and performance suffered. Here's a diagram showing how the nose gear would lay flat up under that big engine:

So if anyone is still interested, the homebuilt I posted back on pg 30 is a "Mini-Imp" designed by Molt Taylor back in the 70's. It has a VW engine that sits just behind the cockpit and drives a tail mounted pusher prop through a drive shaft. I want one heheheh.

As I got the Victor here's another:

Horten 229, very experimental.

Here's another pic of how it might have looked:

Close, but no cigar.

nope

who actualy made that plane? because some call it the gotha go229 and others the horten ho 229

Avro Shackleton :D

big bucket oh win

The Ho-229 was designed by the Horten brothers, but were it to enter production it would have been designated Go-229 owing to the fact that Horten didn't have any manufacturing plants of their own. The pic I posted isn't the 229 though; think bigger.

its the america bomber i dont know what its called designed to take off in germany and bomb new york

no

I think he was responding to mine

oh lol

nah worrys

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_65242...ORD_91_001.jpg

Anyone?

Just a hint this version is Portuguese Airforce.

F4 Phantom? im not sure realy

The phantom is the tail in the background
EDIT: Scrap that its folded wings... Lol

oh as you see im not that good on jets i like ww2 planes

You were right the first time :D

it is a phantom in the background. If you look at the pic again theirs actually 3 planes in the pic. The fuselage you can see is not the phantoms, but the plane infront of it. So all you can actually see of the phantom is indeed the tail fin :D

the main plane in the pic is.... i've no idea! foriegn. The plane behind it..again i've no idea. But the plane furthest back is indeed a phantom and not folded wings :)


it belongs to the luftwaffe also (the phantom).

is it an Alpha Jet?

I have it ,tis

a Fiat G-91

Hawker P.1127??

Pretty much the prototype for the harrier...

you're right

The one in the middle's a Lockheed Starfighter.. Tail's a dead giveaway.

Hawker Siddley but i will accept:grin:

And the side engine air intake

Ah ha. I know this one. Its a Fiat G91. Its a basic copy of a F-86K sabre.

Thats the funniest paintjob on a plane I have ever seen. They even painted little paws on the fuel pods/weapon pods.

Not sure of its merit as camoflage, cant be operational colours

A few planes have wierd camo. Mostly for air shows and centenaries etc....


http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ation_Flig.jpg

that boris becker on the back of one of them??

They should make a plane with Leonidas kicking the Persian messenger on it. Then use it on the front lines. (No political comment intended, it's just an awesome bit regardless of nationality of the participants)

lol no i dont think thats him.

If only all modern jet had custom paint to suit the pilot, it would be one hell of a pretty dogfight

Too bad you'd never see it, being shot down by a missile fired from a plane 5 miles away. :-P

yup, you got that right :grin:

For getting the Fiat, I ask what is this?

http://i47.tinypic.com/30u8h1k.jpg

Oh, is it the Ching-Kuo or something?

Yes, the AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo

Here is my offering if it is right:

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...4/PlaneL87.jpg

Curtiss-Wright X-19

http://simflight.com/wp-content/uplo...rman-VSTOL.jpg

try this one.

EWR VJ 101??

a german experimental VTOL.

excellent. ^^

too easy ? take this...
http://www.strangemilitary.com/image...ent/113643.jpg

^^^the result of one too many nazi sex and drugs parties at luftwaffe high command?

^^ lol. max mosleys idea ^^

Blohm and Voss BV-141

How about this... anyone?

http://www.pilotfriend.com/photo_albums/images16/33.jpg

Fokker DXXI

Yep. That was an easy one. :P

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...tofortress.jpg

Hint: it has the most powerful jet engines fitted to a plane, would regularly break the sound barrier on the runway, was armed with 22 AA missiles and could fly at 143,000ft

Hmm, that sounds like a plane from AC6..

Northrop P-61 Black Widow

http://rareaircraf1.greyfalcon.us/picturesg/ab32.jpg

Hint: It was Germany's version of the B-29 Superfortress.

You missed the nuke capability! :P

Me 264, one of the Amerika bomber prototypes.

House, I think you win the prize for biggest picture ever on a forum. lol I had no hope of answering it with only a tiny part of the plane visible at any one time.

@Wissam: I think that is a French Breguet from the 1920s or 30s? Not sure though, but that radiator makes me think it is. :D

Nope.

Are you sure? I could have sworn that radiator was from a Breguet of some kind? Guess I'll have to keep looking. :cool:

hmmmm.... no Breguet Bre.19 ?? or a SABCA, Super Bidon variant?

Nope neither of those.

a tip pls.

a vought biplane? maybe with an Breguet engine?

Nope. Think Spain

i noticed the flag. but its not a casa. ?

wait... hispano have contracts with the french.
....
ok, 1 quit.... :(

The large partial picture is of a Northrop P-61 "Black Widdow" night fighter.

The bi-plane has a Fokker D-V tail, Armstrong-Wittworth Siskin wings and a propellor that looks like its from a Hawker Fury.

The undercarriage also looks the same as on a Siskin too.

I'm think that its a Dutch Fokker D-VII, D-VIII or D-IX maybe??

Ok, so after searching and searching through french planes. I couldn't really find anything that matched. BUT then, before you had even said anything about Spain. I forgot, I had over looked the tail, which had a sort of WW2 Nieuport 28-esque tail to it (at least to me). SO, I searched and searched through my book on Spanish Civil War planes, and came up with this!!!


NIEUPORT-DELAGE NiD 52 :D


(Also, just for fun. I want one of these Nieuports. THEY SEEM SOOO COOL!!!! I'm now even MORE interested in Republican fighters of the SCW)

jup...

Well done. I'm glad I finally found one that even the Great Ace himself didn't know

Brewster Buccaneer/Bermuda

Try this one.....

The US Navy's first all metal mono-plane Torpedo and Scout back in 1933.

Top speed 220 MPH.

850 HP engine.

Served until 1941.

Designed by Dayton Brown.

Only 29 built under licence by another company and not by the original designers.

Naval Aircraft Factory SBN

Correct!!

It was Brewster's only reliable aircraft..... because they never actually built it.

Lol.
http://www.aviafrance.com/image.php?im=7352

Ive no idea what that thing is but she is one hell of a pretty one ;)

Not a patch on the Spit or Vulcan though.

Oh definately not, ^that one^ is pretty but definately isnt as pretty as the Spit and Vulcan

This was a prototype jet chaser in 1944 and saw some service during the late 1940's, after the war had finished.

Powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine.

Top speed was 492 MPH in level flight.

This is the world's second fastest ever piston engined aircraft, the Martin-Baker MB-5 being quicker at 520 MPH.

There was also a jet powered version.

Spiteful
Jet became Supermarine Attacker

name this wreck... ^^

Still looking for this one
