The Wamira was also a contender for the RAF requirement, though the MoD requested that AAC design a tandem seat version just for us, wooo.

Hmmm, the first thing it brings to mind for me is the North American AJ-1 Savage, but in such poor shape its hard to say (oh, and you have mail if you didn't already see it)

Ha scrub that answer, it suddenly looks like the Vought Pirate instead

The XF6U is by Vought (hence F6U) But it really does look like one.

"ike your bit about the cartoons!"
Terry.[/QUOTE]

I don't actually have a Wamira cartoon handy but this is a sample of what I used to do.... see if anyone can identify the aircraft... it may be just a cartoon but drew if from the actual aircraft and I tried to keep it accurate...

....anyway it should be easier than some of the photos posted here

Correct Kool Kitty, that particular one is now in the RAN Museum in Nowra NSW...

This was the follow-on cartoon, an example of a day in the life of the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation in the 1980s

Kool Kitty beat me to it with Wirraway! Great cartoons, think I'll print one off.
Now, this new one. I haven't a clue!

Sound of a head hitting a keyboard.

Repeatedly.

Here I am, several months into scratch building an OS2U, and I confuse Lockheed and Vought....

This latest puzzler looks like someone's added a glazed nose and two more engines to a Canberra, then stuck on a Viscount tail, after sticking on the wings of a B24!
Doubt I'd even come close with an answer!
