red750 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 This was a trick question. The plane is a US aircraft modified and painted to look like a Val for movies and airshows. It is actually a Consolidated Vultee BT-13A. Google the rego N56478 for more.

One of the ‘Zero’ replicas built for that movie was at Caboolture for a while some years ago. It was registered as VH-ZRO at the time. Robert
red750 Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 The first one is an Avro York. The second is an Avro Lancaster B.II with Bristol Hercules engines (300 built).
Thruster88 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Bumping my post from last Saturday - red biplane. Student Prince
red750 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Correct again Thruster88. And O.M.E., it's a Stout Engineering Co ST-1.
old man emu Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 The lecturer is not supposed to answer the question.
red750 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 That's it. That will be my last for a while - have to do more research.
red750 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Okay! We're back with another batch. Let's start with this one.
red750 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Please note - this is NOT part of the quiz, it is a photo supplied by Phil Perry seeking identification of the plane parked outside to the left of the Republic Seabee in the photo attached. I have no idea.
Old Koreelah Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 What we can see of the tail fin is tiny, the canopy is replaced by plastic. Maybe someone had access to a lot of aircraft scrap and made up a pretend aeroplane. It looks like a bitsa; bits of this, bits of that...
red750 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Given that the wingtip is missing, it's quite likely that part of the tail is too. I'm sure you're right, right down to the exhaust? just ahead of the canopy. The F+W C-3605, nicknamed Schlepp ("Tug") or "Alpine Anteater", was a target towing aircraft operated by the Swiss Air Force from 1971–1987. (Wiki)
