BluBear Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 Well that would mean, it certainly isn't an F-16 Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 14, 2015 2. Administrators Posted November 14, 2015 I was thinking much the same thing Chris! Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted November 14, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted November 14, 2015 You're right! It's not an F-16. Tee hee! Quote
Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 The closest guess right now is the Japanese Mitsubishi F-2? Maybe not... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 15, 2015 2. Administrators Posted November 15, 2015 I don't think it's an f-2 either. We had that in the early stages of this thread and I'd wager that Tom is aware of that. The other reason that I'm doubtful is that the f-16/f-2 has a series of small strakes on the top of the fuselage just aft of the radome. They are not in evidence in this pic. I could be wrong...

Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Agree Jabo but Fen is a sneaky bastong and when I wasn't 100% convinced because of the shape of the nose, it was the only one out there I could fine. So I stumbled over this. Look at the backgorund. Edit: one more similar background Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 15, 2015 2. Administrators Posted November 15, 2015 But this isn't an f-2 or f-16 - in fact I'm not sure what it is but whatever it is you might have the right aircraft (incidentally I know the dark grey one is an f-16) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.

Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 You are right Jabo. Those above are F-16s I think. Now I am a bit confused. What the heck was I searching when I spotted those pic's? Gaahh..! Edit: I think I found it! It is a AIDC F-CK-1A. One of them IS a F-16, the other one is a IDF Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 15, 2015 2. Administrators Posted November 15, 2015 I think you've got it there matey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted November 15, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted November 15, 2015 Boom! Swep for the win. Good work there matey, was sure I'd eek this one out a bit longer but clearly you chaps are too nerdy even for the likes of me! Quote
Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks. A bit tricky it was. Darn inlets I didn't notice at first. Good one Aii.. here is an easy one. I have scratched off some paint from the fuslage to make the id'ing a bit more difficult. Did I say it is a fugly fugler! Quote
Sweper Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Ok chaps. Here comes another hint. Same same but different. Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 This is a tough one, I have no idea. Quote
BluBear Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 Hmm two different variants of fugly. Quote
Sweper Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Hmm two different variants of fugly. Yes! The latter is more common, I think. Well known manufacturor Quote
BluBear Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Ok, Bristol Type 170 Superfreighter Mk 32? Quote
Sweper Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 You got it Bristol 170 would have been enough for a correct answer Your turn Sir! 1 Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 20, 2015 2. Administrators Posted November 20, 2015 Funny that, I was about to post an Argosy a while back - quite similar in some ways. Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 You'd think I could have got that one given my current links with Lydd which is where Silver city operated from. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 7, 2015 2. Administrators Posted December 7, 2015 Well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
