Would it be the Lockheed Starfire? Thats the only one I can think of for the moment

Waynos · 08-18-2008, 08:06 AM

I depends how accurate the model is. It has the look of the Albatros C.II about it but certain details would have to be wrong for that to be the right answer, and given the obvious care taken in building it how likely is it that the details of the design would be wrong?

I have not yet found an Albatros design in which the forward undercarriage strut meets the interplane strut as it does on that model.

Sorry Storch, no luck. Wayne's comments above make perfect sense. A captioning problem at the museum? I noticed on this site they're having trouble naming the Spad...

Have you tried the Aerodrome Forum?...

Yeah, F-89D. Which brings me to this. Built to a mock-up stage only...

You say all that I want to say!But may be the man who build it he's wrong;Certainly;

thanks everybody for your help.

Graeme, is that the N-82, or YF-89F? I have read about the project but never seen a picture.

Hi Wayne.

Yes. The F-89F. Don't have much on it other than it reached the mock-up stage and was cancelled due to "technical problems involving the use of nuclear weapons". The huge mid-span mounted tanks housed the main landing gear, fuel and missiles. Unlike the Scorpion the fuselage was faired straight back from the front cockpit and the one-piece stabiliser was attached to the fuselage.

'Pick' the noses...

Krabat42 · 08-21-2008, 07:15 AM

No. 4 is a Bristol Blenheim, early version (Mk.I) with the short nose.

No. 5 looks very much like an EE Lightning ("climbes like a homesick angel")

And No. 2 is the prone-pilot Meteor, a prototype (built from a Mk.8 I think)with a second pilots seat in the nose for a prone lying pilot. Winkle Brown told us - when we met him in Munich this summer - that he had great fun giving pilots a ride in the "normal" seat while he was flying in the nose. He said it was great fun pulling G's and the man in the back passed out again and again. And when he landed he was fresh and the the other guy totally exhausted.

No. 1 is the nose of a B-45 Tornado, and No. 3 a Blackburn Beverley???

Waynos · 08-21-2008, 02:41 PM

I think 3 is the short shetland and I know that 5 is the short SB.5

It could be the Shorts S40 Shetland II, the civilian version with the turret location in the nose deleted....

The Prone Pilot Meteor is on display at the Newark Aircraft Museum, Lincolnshire, UK
