if not how about kamakazi

FOZ_1983 12-19-2009 01:52 PM

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

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

STINGERSIX78 12-19-2009 01:55 PM

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

the japanese fighter - oscar?

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.

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 12-19-2009 01:59 PM

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 12-19-2009 02:01 PM

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 12-19-2009 02:02 PM

i guess a zero...

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.

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

Robotic Pope 12-20-2009 05:29 PM

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 12-20-2009 05:31 PM

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 12-20-2009 05:51 PM

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 12-20-2009 06:33 PM

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.

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 12-20-2009 09:38 PM

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

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