DD_Bongodriver Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 It was a bit sneaky of me to find a pic of a naked Belfast parked in cairns. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 - my dad used to work on them My dad worked on the prototype Blackburn Beverley! Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 5, 2015 2. Administrators Posted June 5, 2015 Now that's cool Arthur! Always felt the Beverley was under-appreciated. Now then...time to raid the archives Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Kira Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Naked? Airplanes? AIRPLANE PORN! "Look, mummy! It's got no paint on!" Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 5, 2015 2. Administrators Posted June 5, 2015 Soooooo, which oddball is this? Quote
Sweper Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I think you nailed it Mr BluBear. You Brit geeks Quote
DD_Arthur Posted June 5, 2015 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
BluBear Posted June 5, 2015 Author 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
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 At a stretch it might even be a Hawker Fury (forerunner to the sea fury)? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 5, 2015 2. Administrators Posted June 5, 2015 Sorry - none of the above - Thought the five-bladed prop might provoke discussion - Quote
BluBear Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Dang. I've been having doubts actually, the wing wasn't right for the firecrest… try again Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 5, 2015 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
