The What is it? Game

[Airframes]

PZL P-7 ?

 

[Graeme]

To my eyes it looks like a very old "M" frame undercart structure with the starboard wheel bent forward. What really looks odd to me is that wheel looks as big, in diameter, to the radial engine? This is not a powerful machine?

 

[Graeme]

And is that another one at the back? Is that a townend ring and wheel at the back of the trailer?....

 

[vikingBerserker]

I'm thinking a biplane based on the landing gear. Isn't that a townsend ring up front?

Seems like Llemon hasn't been back to confirm or deny his entry in Post # 318, so, to keep this going for now, try this one.

Clues needed ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes please

It's a twin-engined, familiar shape, from a different source ...................

B-4 Hawker Hart ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Li-2?

 

[GrauGeist]

L2D Type 0 perhaps?

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it's the port side doors on the Hungarian registered Lisunov, seen at Duxford for the Daks over Duxford / Normandy events. Looks like Jim got there first.

 

[GrauGeist]

Way to go, Jim!

That almost looked like a vintage photo, Terry, so I took a shot at the Nakajima L2D...sadly, none exist except at various wreck-sites.

It was a real pity to see that she was the only one without control locks fitted during the event. Was watching her rudder banging against the stops on a coupe of occasions !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Try this one, it was new to me!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Wow, that's beautiful

 

[Graeme]

That's a big "part" ya showing there Jim. Cheers for that. The Ford Model 14-A. My source says it never flew...

That looks for all the world like a monoplane variant of the HP42:

Congratulations! It is indeed. Thought it would last longer then that, seeing as I just discovered it myself!

And only 3 engines.
