Hi Graeme,
The giant russian bomber is a Slesarev Svyatogor

Sorry to go back in time lads, been away on my hols.
I was there that day, nowhere near the crash. The full horror of it didn't impinge until I saw it on Pathe News............

Wow. But I know how this is. I was at Duxford when the Firefly crashed.

Was that Russian creation designed by a person who had ever seen a plane before?

Graeme · 09-11-2008, 10:00 PM

Probably still not enough personnel in front to mask the identity of this one...

kool kitty89 · 09-11-2008, 10:45 PM

My first thought was the XF-90, but I'm not sure about the tail.

Emilio Lafuente · 09-12-2008, 07:54 AM

I´m happy with the Lockheed XF-90 answer, too.

Patoruzu · 09-12-2008, 08:47 AM

Ok - Same answer an Lockheed XF90

The "Skunk Works" 1949. Johnson and LeVier are missing but Hall Hibbard is at front centre, with arms folded, and Don Palmer next to him.
And yes, uncompleted in the background is the XF-90.

Cool picture....!

Krabat42 · 09-15-2008, 06:43 AM

True. Especially when you know the people. I'm impressed.

OK the, here's another one. This time a man, not a machine:

A few hints?

Born in Cheshire, died in London aged 98. Got a Military Cross (for taking pictures) and an Academy Award, was both an ace and a writer.

Patoruzu · 09-15-2008, 09:27 AM

Sorry Krabat can´t see the picture. Those net problems!!!!

Krabat42 · 09-15-2008, 09:42 AM

Oh yes, if you'd see the picture, it would be too easy.

here's another link:

Nothing yet? Okay, another hint: He flew in China too and one of his books was the main inspiration for a movie with Malcolm McDowall.
