DD_Bongodriver Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 It was a bit sneaky of me to find a pic of a naked Belfast parked in cairns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 5, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Now that's cool Arthur! Always felt the Beverley was under-appreciated.

DD_Bongodriver Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was thinking Firebrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Eh? How.......I mean they only built three and one of them never flew, lol. I was thinking Firebrand. Yeah, same here. I thought I was in with a chance but.....Firecrest? Never heard of it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well it's not confirmed yet! I initially thought the brand, but that I believe only ever flew with a four bladed prop. The cowl profile looks near identical so pursued it further and discovered the crest. It's a new one to me also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 At a stretch it might even be a Hawker Fury (forerunner to the sea fury)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 5, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sorry - none of the above - Thought the five-bladed prop might provoke discussion - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Dang. I've been having doubts actually, the wing wasn't right for the firecrest… try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Bongodriver Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 there's no doubts Blubear has this one, it's the same photo. I guess it's safe to say we won't need to guess firebrands or firecrests for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
