Ah, THAT's why it looked strange then, Wildcat, thanks!
I'm no expert on the Lincoln either, but as I'm (painfully slowly) building the aircraftof the RNZAF/ RAF NZ sqn's in 1:72, I'll have to tackle this one at some stage.

Is this from a tandem gear?

Another unusual looking Lincoln version was B.2 (RF561) testing radar in an elongated nose in 1949.

No. But I must admit Krabat I never thought of that as a possibility! Good thinking!

Storch · 03-05-2008, 04:25 AM

That right Graeme, it was the Nikol A-2.

For your..... ...... I haven't got idea!

May be Convair?

p47thunderbolt · 03-05-2008, 06:18 AM

I first thought B-36 or B-47, but no.....

Krabat42 · 03-05-2008, 07:33 AM

Can't be that hard: Big fuselage, probably used as a trainer for wiring operators and since it's from Graeme, it's probably Australian

Two more clues which should provide the identity. First one is the man above standing on the left in the interior shot is Lord Brabazon and the second is this leading edge shot...

p47thunderbolt · 03-06-2008, 12:46 AM

that one?

Graeme · 03-06-2008, 01:07 AM

Yep. The mighty Bristol Brabazon!

Of course he is. Everywhere he sees a P-47 he's got to stand beside it and got fotographed.

And here's another one:

. Currently i am at four "Thunderbolt and me" photographs. Those 47s are rare in Europe. The one in the avatar is at the Paris Le Bourget museum.

I am kicking myself right now, because I did know this...

The Junkers Ju88 B or Ju 388/ 488 wind tunnel model, I think...can't remember at the moment...

Junkers is correct, but neither the 88 not the 388/488.
