Haha. Nope

Jammy Git!
That's great news mate, glad to hear it.
It will be interesting to see which side of the business he prefers that's for sure.
Give him my regards old chap!

Right then!
Let's do this...

Well it was a tricky one mate, and another fugly arsed aeroplane!
Over to you bongo
-
You got it bongo, I believe it is a Funk F-23 which i understand was a crop duster or something before being funked up to loosely resemble a Ki-51. Hideous!
It's certainly a new one on me! Sweper can you confirm?
-
Fairchild Funk M62C F-23B, Mitsubishi KI-51 Replica?
-
Rudder profile doesn't match and the tail is too high set for a 51 methinks.
I don't think it is a genuine Jap aeroplane, i'm now thinking something modified for a film perhaps?
-
Bugger, it was a long shot…
-
Pilatus P2?
-
Balls of steel!
We often do this warming up and winding down during CLoD nights
-
Modified T-6 Texan?
-
I'm thinking Japanese, based on the colour-scheme however that profile does not match either the 43 or 61...
-
Give us some more Tom
please... -
Hmm, this is a tough one...
-
I'm intrigued as to where they would install the unusually buoyant turds and what tactical advantage it gave them?
-
You left the reg on the tail though Swep
This appeared at flying legends a few times, an interesting aircraft. It would perform simulated dive bombing runs, with the undercarriage down if I recall (they double as airbrakes the same as on the corsair I understand).
Shame it's been absent for a while, I read only the other day engine reliability is proving a problem and it doesn't leave home much anymore.

Oh I was still following Pooka! But thanks for the reveal.
What an intriguing little machine.
-
Hmm, some of the pics are incorrect too. That is not an La7, but an American radial engined Yak 3 I believe.
Incredible numbers if accurate though!
-
Great fun, too tired for a full report but really enjoyed the concept and execution! Thanks Bishop et al.
Our initial strike was text book, well done chaps
-
Sounds good to me mate, over to you Pook if you like?
-
Will be on shortly...
-
Ooh, what time and I need to get 4.13 installed!
-
And the winner is Jabo!
What a brute.

Hoping we get the same Akery Moonbeam solo this year. Those of you that only went on the Saturday missed this on the Sunday. He sure know how to fly a 51!
