I'll try to start this again, of course this could be child's play for the experts here!

A Vought V-156F with the French Navy?

Njaco · 08-27-2007, 05:02 PM

You guys are the best! Thought I'd throw you off with a variation of the Vindicator. Good show!

I have seen that picture somewhere. A total guess is a Farnborough 1956 show and its a Miles aircraft. What type I have no idea (right now)

Getting close Glider. SBAC show 1948. G-ALOI gathered dust in the F.G Miles hanger at Redhill for ten years until it was broken up for scrap in 1958.

Big clue-They tried to make a helicopter out of one of the airframes..

The Firth Helicopter.

My first post on this site... but the original looks like the Planet Satelite. Designed by a Major Heenan in the late 40s in the UK. It had structural problems.

First post..and yes it is/was the Planet Satellite! Welcome!

Another I-16, this time not from the "King of Fighters", but from the Latvian State Factory (VEF). I'm doing Aviaquiz too
