Aircraft Identification V

[Krabat42]

(Scuse my English he's not good but I learning it.(I'm just 18 years old))

I'm twice your age and learning too. So what? That's why we're here. At least for learning aircraft recognition. The Magni Vale 37 was a tough one. But you won't get Graeme that easy.

Gentlemen,

having been very busy elsewhere recently (changing tires on my P-47, spring is near) i now will rejoin the party, if you please...

Now...what could this be. A somewhat different kind of riddle:

 

[Krabat42]

That's Eddie Rickenbacker. On October 2nd, 1918 he shot down a Hannover CL and a Fokker DVII. Since this is no DVII, it must be the Hannover. 8)

[Storch]

Halberstadt CL IV?

 

[p47thunderbolt]

Well done, Krabat

A Hannover CIIIA

 

[p47thunderbolt]

Staying with the old ones. Any idea what this is?

 

[Krabat42]

That's a "Harry Tate", a RAF RE8, obviously a captured example. Got a Windsock file about it. Nice try, Chris

 

[Krabat42]

And anotherone, sorry no better pic available:

 

[v2]

P-63A-9 ?

 

[Graeme]

P-63A-9 ?

Definitely a P-63, V2.

Bell did a lot of research with V-tails...



They even considered using this V-tail configuration for their Bell X-1...

 

[Storch]

It will not be very difficult (for Graeme ):

 

[Graeme]

Too difficult for me Storch! No luck. Thought it may be the Romano R.82. See what the others come up with.

 

[Storch]

What??????

Graeme don't find the name of a plane

It's a Chinese aircraft 8)

 

[p47thunderbolt]

A Liuchow Kwangsi Type 2?

 

[Graeme]

A Liuchow Kwangsi Type 2?

Also known as the "Fushing biplane"?

Storch and Krabat!

I think your English is bloody good! It's a hard language to learn, especially as we keep "borrowing" words - did you know that the modern English language is only 10 percent original English ?

My greatest respect to you guys, and also to Thunderbolt, Wurger and every one else on this site from a non-English speaking country.

..as for these bloody aircraft, you guys just do my head in...

 

[Krabat42]

Thanks, A4K. Being a fan of old aircraft without learning english is next to impossible. But the best benefit is when you are able to read english books. It helps a lot too. By the way, I'm reading Pratchett's "The last continent" at the moment, shoud be fun for you Australians and New Zealanders Strange people there

To be honest again: I had no idea abbout the chinese one (so much for doing my head in) , and didn't know about the V-tail-X1 either. But it looks well thought out. Innovative people people at Bell's.

[Krabat42]

O.K. next one. Not much of a quiz but I liked the picture:

 

[Storch]

Thanks A4K!

Sorry for latness I just want to say that my Chinese plane was the Fu-Shing AP-1
.I'm happy I achieve to find a (very ) difficult plane to Graeme : and the other too!

Your aircraft Krabat I tihnk is an Avro Shakleton !But it's make me too easy

 

[p47thunderbolt]

Storch, indeed a very difficult aircraft to solve.....good choice!

Krabat, i think this might be some more scrap iron of your sort:





Avro Lincoln?
