[Graeme]

Cheers Jim. This should be easier...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Bartini Beriev VVA-14 ?

Bartini Beriev VVA-14 ?

A who-da-wadda? Never, EVER heard of that. Sheesh...and I thought I knew about aircraft! Back of the class for me with an "F" and a "Must try harder" note!

 

[Graeme]

Back to you Jim!

 

[Token]

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

Yeah, looks very heavy for the power and lifting area.

T!

 

[Capt. Vick]

What is this, specifically?

 

[Graeme]

I'll go for the Japanese long range research aircraft - Gasuden Koken.
I got another source calling it the Tokyo Gasu Denki Koken...

 

[GrauGeist]

I concur with Graeme, that's a Gasuden Koken-Ki

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yup, you're up Graeme

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Jim.
I'd like to hand control to Dave (GrauGeist)

 

[GrauGeist]

Well...alrighty then, thanks Graeme!

Ok gang...let's try this one:

 

[herman1rg]

First thought was the Gloster E.28/39

 

[GrauGeist]

It is not a jet aircraft.

 

[buffnut453]

It's a Caproni Vizzola F.4.

 

[GrauGeist]

It's a Caproni Vizzola F.4.

It is indeed, well done!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Bravo!

 

[herman1rg]

I tried playing with the photo to see if I could decipher the logo, didn't work. Well Done Buffnut

 

[vikingBerserker]

Man, I'm starting to think I need to stay in the kiddie pool

 

[buffnut453]

Man, I'm starting to think I need to stay in the kiddie pool

I had no clue what it was. It just had an Italian vibe and so I googled "Italian fighters world war 2" and one of the image results was the same photo used for the question....so I'm not as smart as I look, I just know how to Google.

B-4 Hawker Hart ?

Hi Garry.
I don't think so - the Hart is a much bigger aircraft with a different undercart structure. I sent the photo to a friend in the UK who is simply brilliant at aircraft identification - but no luck. It's also possible the trailer is a composite collection of various aircraft parts - not just one.

His thoughts...

"I reckon the "key" to identifying the wreck(s) (as more than one on the trolley looks likely) is to find something with a cowl with that semicircular scallop in its rim! It doesn't look like the result of damage and looks to have been deliberately formed! I cannot recall seeing something like that before, so find that feature and you're nearly there! "

Tis a pity "IIemon" never returned with the answer - but this thread regularly staggers, stumbles.....and stalls.
