Country: | 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.

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...

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

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. | |

Country:  | 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.
