BluBear Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Right then chaps, how about a little quiz? Here's how it works... I'm going to post an obscure picture of an aircraft and you have to guess what it is. If it's proving difficult, i'll post further pictures, getting less obscure until it's either guessed correctly or I have to reveal it. The winner, if there is one will then have to start a new quiz in the same format. Understood? Splendid! Let's get started... Quote
DD_Arthur Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Here's how it works... I'm going to post an obscure picture of an aircraft and you have to guess what it is. This is easy. That's a wing......................................Am I missing something here? Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 My best guess on what we have is an F-86 sabre. Quote
Sweper Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Good one Blubear. I was thinking of the same thing some months ago. The force again? Quote
BluBear Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 The force of old speckled hen is with us! Be sure Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I think I got it......F-100 super sabre Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted November 17, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted November 17, 2013 you people need to get out more.....I'll send Sister Johnathan round Nice idea for a bit of fun BB...... Quote
BluBear Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 And the winner is... I think I got it......F-100 super sabre Congratulations! This example is stored outside at nearby Headcorn aerodrome, looking rather forlorn after a parachute plane crashed into it a few years ago. To be honest it was looking worse for wear before, but since the incident (which killed the unfortunate pilot) it has been left to merge in the undergrowth. It is reportedly owned by the USAFM and Headcorn Museum can't touch it. All rather sad. Here are the remaining pictures... Bongo old chap it's your turn next Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Crap!!.....I didn't think this through, now I have to prepare a quiz...... Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Ok here goes, been scouring the net for some pics of a very rare beastie...... Quote

DD_Bongodriver Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I think BA has it, but it could be a Cessna Bobcat. Quote
Sweper Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I throw in: Lockheed 12A Electra Junior Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 18, 2013 2. Administrators Posted November 18, 2013 Think Chet's got it although I did think Electra to begin with- the Electra has longer nose than the beech though and would probably obscure the engine from this angle. As the owner of a significant proboscis myself, I am only too aware of this issue. Jabo Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Not just the nose on the electra but I think the cowlings rule it out too, on the electra they aren't cylindrical, they sort of narrow down at the rear periphery. Because BA has the Beech I will stick with Cessna Bobcat......final answer. Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted November 18, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted November 18, 2013 And the winner is.... BadAim! Nice one Chet! Over to you... Quote
