red750 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 OK. Let's see how we go this time. [ATTACH=full]1863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18452[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 By the way ... SIPA S.500. Well, there you go. Checked every French a/c I could think of & didn't see a photo of it, only the S.300. The penny still didn't drop in spite of the similarities. Cheers, Willie.
siznaudin Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The Abrams P-1 Explorer was a United States purpose-designed aerial photography and survey aircraft that first flew in November 1937. [ATTACH=full]1864[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18453[/ATTACH]
red750 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Good grief, Geoff, how did you latch onto that from the small image in the clue? I'm done (at least for now.) Like some other quizzes, if you win, it's your turn. Over to you, mate. .
siznaudin Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Just about to head out but on return I'll put something into the Games Room/Competions & Quizzes section, which might be more apposite for what we're doing. I guess it pays to be retired and have the spare time to scroll through images, doesn't it! [ATTACH=full]1865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18454[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 maybe we should just show a part of the image :( Good idea, mn - a bit like a jig-saw puzzle. Not sure how many clues to give with this one. [ATTACH=full]1871[/ATTACH] Cheers, Willie. [ATTACH]18455[/ATTACH]
red750 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 Not an Su-24, mn. Its wing is above the intake, and the intake has a flatter outside wall, more parallel to the inside wall. No idea what it is though. [ATTACH=full]1872[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH]18456[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Side intake doesn't really identify twin or single engine. Fixed geometry inlet may or may not indicate vintage. This might make it easier - it's an interceptor (F-). Cheers, Willie.
mnewbery Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Agreed and I figured that out pretty quickly. Another guess would be the Dassault Super Etendard. Surely not an f-4 phantom. That has huge flutes in front of the intakes, not like these
willedoo Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 It's not the Dassault or the Phantom. Other clues are delta winged, supersonic, internal weapons bay. This gives it away as a single engine. [ATTACH=full]1873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18457[/ATTACH]
red750 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 I was thinking F-5 Tiger (et al) but it looks a bit narrow. Edit: After posting the above, I saw your second clue --- F-102 Delta Dagger. .
willedoo Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Spot on, Peter - the Delta Dagger. Cheers, Willie.
siznaudin Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 This was the best I could come up with ... but a bit too slow.[ATTACH=full]1874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18458[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Another intake - this one might be too easy; there's not many like it. [ATTACH=full]1876[/ATTACH] Cheers, Willie. [ATTACH]18459[/ATTACH]
siznaudin Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Proud's 4 ct gold toe ring? Dunno why, but Diana Dors' name (and other things) sprang to mind when I found this one...:rolleyes:
red750 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 You're right Geoff. The photo can be found on Google Images (search F111 intake), but the source is here: http://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/pages/History/Aircraft/Quigg_F111_P1.html .
siznaudin Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 And when we were in Qld for the Ipswich rally last year guess what I happened to photograph when we visited Amberley! [ATTACH=full]1877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18460[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Just wondering how you got that shot, Geoff. Did you use a zoom, or get inside the fence, or is it of another one in the workshop? [ATTACH=full]1882[/ATTACH] Cheers, Willie. [ATTACH]18462[/ATTACH]
siznaudin Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 There was another airframe there Willie - no stepping over barriers (this time, anyway...);)
siznaudin Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I'll be so bold as to offer this one: good luck all:) [ATTACH=full]1884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18463[/ATTACH]
willedoo Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 At first I thought it looked a bit Japanese, but not so. It would have to be a Fairey Spearfish. Cheers, Willie.
