.

Thank you!

Interesting. Lockheed proposed a jet airliner with that wing design (referred to by a 'Flight' writer at the time as the 'flying bog seat') in the 1980's but I had never seen an actual plane with it before. Did it actually fly?

I don't think so and I'm not sure that it flew at least once !

Witch plane is it that the pilots who have flyed in combat got called for have "guaranteed varnished coffin"?

LaGG-3 (Lakirovanny Garantirovanny Grob

)

Gratz! You are the vinner

Waynos · 02-03-2009, 04:48 PM

Oooh, and I always assumed the La in LaGG was short for Lavotchkin! You live and learn.

Well, it was. But no pilot calls his plane an "aircraft". It's a crate, a bird, a "Mühle" and sometimes a flying coffin.

By the way, LaGG = Lavotchkin, Gorbunov and Gudkov.

See:
Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Goudkov LaGG-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The novel, wood-laminate construction of the aircraft continued to be poor quality (as with its predecessor) and pilots joked that rather than being an acronym of the designers' names (Lavochkin, Gorbunov, and Goudkov) "LaGG" stood for lakirovanny garantirovanny grob ("guaranteed varnished coffin" - лакированный гарантированный гроб)."

Looks like we need a new one. Here is it. We are looking for the name of the guy:

Hans Grade...

(How are you Krabat!? Changing nappies/diapers yet?)

If nobody has an idea, ask Graeme.

Yes, Grade is correct. And he was the owner of the german pilot license No. 2 (which is the "grade Zahl" (even number). No. 1 was August Euler.

The little Krabat-boy will come in July, so there's still time to muse upon the eternal questions of life, universe and Aircraft Identification V.

A few weeks ago we moved to a new appartment and it's still a lot of work to do. It's less than week now that I got my internet connection and this evening I'll have some very hungry people (including good ol' Thunderbolt-Chris) for dinner. Looks like I have to watch my beer stock.

Excellent! I thought its unusual stance may make it harder than that
