red750 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks Willie. I knew it was a Burnelli, but not which model. Interesting comment in the text to the UB-14 listing: "Arthur Pew was republican, Roosevelt was democrat, and, as expectable, they didn‘t like each other. In fact, they hated themselves. That was it."
cscotthendry Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This is probably not an obscure plane, but I didn't recognize it when I saw one at Oshkosh. What is it?

Howard 500 - Wikipedia Well, it's possible you might be in that picture or this one. I took it at Airventure in July. Yeehaw! What a show. Did you stay for the fireworks on Saturday night?
kasper Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 This should be an easy one.[ATTACH=full]51985[/ATTACH] Hawker hurricane. 1
Birdseye Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Hawker hurricane. MK IIa or later with those cannons.
willedoo Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 It's a Soviet lend lease Hurricane. I can't remember if they fitted them with 20mm or 23mm cannon; it was one of the two.

Phil Perry Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Nice easy one. . . (No it's not a 'Tipsy Nipper' too many seats !. . . )
kasper Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 And it’s not the ARV2 either. Handy to leave the reg on because. I thought immediately it’s the German produced version from Bölkow the 208 junior but that pic is Swedish reg so it’s the original malmo MFI-9 junior
planedriver Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Molmo MF1-9 built in Sweden in the 60's. Also made under licence as the Bolko BO 208. Spot on kasper, you just beat me to it.

I thought immediately it’s the German produced version from Bölkow the 208 junior but that pic is Swedish reg so it’s the original malmo MFI-9 junior I did say that it was an easy peasy one ! I could have blocked the reg, but why make it too hard ? It's just a bit of fun. These aircraft are quite nice to fly,. . I had the opportunity to fly one in 2007 in France. Very positive control even at low speeds. . although, the horizontal Left / Right view is pants, due to the position of the shoulder mounted mainplanes. . . .
Phil Perry Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Now. . .who can tell me what variant of '109' is shown in this picture. It was taken at a Luftwaffe base in in the Mediterranean. . . .no more clues. This bloke with the cheezy grin is using a USAF flotation device retrieved from a shot down Bomber, as a backrest. He looks a nice enough bloke doesn't he ?. . .remember that a large number of Luftwaffe pilots were NOT members of the Nazi party. .

Well, I'll preface this by warning that I'm one of the worst plane identifiers going (once painted a model typhoon the wrong design because I didn't notice the image I looked up was a tempest until I was half way through), but, what the heck... I'm gonna guess it's a BF109G? Specific version, no clue, but what the heck, swing and a miss... BF109G-1? lol

Soleair Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 And it’s not the ARV2 either Fair do's, Kasper - the ARV Super2 is a bit better looking than that!

Pominaus Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Two planes here, one easy one in the background, and in the foreground is the (not exact model version) first plane I ever flew back in 99/00! Whenever someone asks me about the first flight, and I tell them about this plane I get some blank faces back, so just putting it out to the room :) [GALLERY=media, 4027]Guess Planes by Pominaus posted Oct 1, 2017 at 8:38 PM[/GALLERY] P.S.
