rgmwa Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Sorry, rgmwa, have another try. OK. Harlow PC-5 1930's tandem 2-seat trainer
red750 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 rgmwa - near enough, Harlow PCJ5. Used mainly by the Indian Air Force, where they were quite common. Bex, Spitfire PR XI photo reconnaissance. Pink camouflage for hiding at or just below the base of the clouds, particularly at dawn and sunset - the Invisible Spitfire.
rgmwa Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 - the Invisible Spitfire. .... except for the stripes.
red750 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 The black and white stripes are "Invasion Stripes" added for the D-Day invasion. (nowiknow.com/invisible-pink) 1
kasper Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 While I leave you to ponder the plane above, I'm going to depart from the normal format of this thread and tell you about this unusual aircraft which looks like it may have been taken from a simulator, but is an actual aircraft with a number of photos of it and a Wikipedia page. Google it. The plane is a He111z Zwilling.[ATTACH=full]53556[/ATTACH] German for twin. Used as a glider tug ... and if you google Messerschmitt ME321giant you’ll understand why two bombers with a fifth engine added was needed
red750 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's amazing that they could conceive such mammoth aircraft at that time, let alone build and fly them. Them, and the Kalinin K-7.
rep003 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Starr Bumble Bee II ? Once the worlds smallest plane pehaps...
IBob Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 [ATTACH=full]53562[/ATTACH] That..........flew??????????????????????????????
kasper Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 That..........flew?????????????????????????????? Yes. Quite quickly and I gather it also crashed quite quickly as well. 1
GraemeK Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Tough one Red! But my money's on a Hirch MRA C.100. From my time, back in the '50's I reckon. Think I saw it at Le Bourget.
red750 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Geez you were quick with that one Graeme. I thought it would take a bit longer. But yes, you are correct. Only one produced. Interesting writeup on Wikipedia. Google it. OK. How about this one a bit more in our line of flying.
red750 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Surely someone knows.....come on kasper. All will be revealed tonight at 10.00pm.
Old Koreelah Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 You mean you've found one that Kasper doesn't know?
kasper Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Surely someone knows.....come on kasper. All will be revealed tonight at 10.00pm. Mean ... I have seen that plane in an article long ago BUT for the life of me I cannot recall the name ... I suppose I have till 10pm.
red750 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Sorry I'm late - dozed off at the keyboard. And the answer is..... Roger Adam RA14 Loisirs story here: Adam RA-14 Loisirs - Wikipedia OK. Try this one:
red750 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 No takers? Obviously the usual suspects haven't been logged in. I've got a few more up my sleeve.
kasper Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Rearwin sportster 9000. Probably the L model but might be W - can’t tell exactly which engine it is. Used to be one in Drage Airworld in Wangaratta- haven’t got my photo album from there here at the moment.
red750 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Yes kasper, it is the L model. This one might be a challenge.
