The What is it? Game

[CommanderBounds]

Unfortunately no correct answers. The hint is below. Also sorry GeeDee. I should probably start checking if there are rules/reading the rules before I just jump in!

 

[Geedee]

Hey, no worries mate

Getting the impression its an early English passenger aircraft...around the time the Handley Page Heracles and the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy where in the circuit...looks like a shoulder mounted main wing and for some reason, I'm convinced its got exposed radials....

Yeah, I know, I'm wrong....its a modified Piper Cub

 

[CommanderBounds]

Unfortunately no exposed radial BUT It's definitely from the same decade and country as the Cub, It can carry passengers or cargo, It has a radial and it's a one-off. I kinda narrowed it down alot but this one is so difficult I forgot the name of it for a few days!

What ?????...you mean you forgot the Kreider-Reisner XC-31 !!!!

This one was also known as the Fairchild XC-31

And I was totally wrong, it wasn't an early English airliner !!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I do believe Gary got it!

 

[CommanderBounds]

Kreider-Reisner is kinda hard to remember (at least in the spelling department!) I narrowed it down quite a bit as I was worried no one would get it and Aaron you're right, GeeDee got that one!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Can we see a picture of it?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Here you go.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Now that is an interesting looking bird!

 

[Capt. Vick]

I agree!

 

[GrauGeist]

Looks like an AN-2 that lost it's lower wing...

 

[norab]

Bump

 

[Geedee]

Nuuumans busy looking for a real hard one !

 

[GrauGeist]

lol...yep

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yeah he usually puts some brain busters out there

 

[Geedee]

Reckon Nuuumannn must be on his hols, so I've added this one to keep the balls running.

As is the norm, I've been real sneaky and using selective cropping, I haven't included the whole plane....heck, even one of the ground-crew is hiding their face !!!. Hope I haven't made it too hard for ya as there'll be Harley any clues

 

[norab]

I'm thinking something along the lines of a 36D maybe a DD

 

[Capt. Vick]

G-Dog in the House!

 

[Geedee]

"Jeez...these guys are s'posed to be good and they can't even ID that plane thing we wuz stood next to!. Its a good job they can't read the tank on our Harley !!"

Well, I can't really say the usual one...'Bump !

 

[nuuumannn]

I saw six...

Been a bit busy, studying for exams and writing stuff as well.

I usually post my own photos if I can, but I thought I'd be a bit mean spirited and post this one, about which I recently bought a book, although that's no real clue. It's a biplane built during WW1, but used afterwards.
