Was it the hammer David Scott used on the moon, dropping it with a feather to demonstrate they would fall at the same rate?

Hi Nigel!
It's the Surviving piece from the Spitfire Prototype K5054
"The only 'surviving piece' of K5054 appears to have been a wing bolt that an engineer kept and re-manufactured into a sheet metal workers hammer head. This valuable piece of aviation history is now in the custody of Solent Sky, Southampton, and can be seen on display at the Spitfire Exhibition at the Science Museum in Kensington, London."

Hi all!
Sorry, I forgot I gave the right answer...
Here's the next one: below is a "Frankenstein" plane made of four different aircraft. Tell me their names.

Ju86P right wing
IL-2 Sturmovik tail
Then nothing after that.

Hi Matthew!
Yes, these two are correct!
It's not the left wing of a Ki-45 though. Left to find are an Italian and U.S. plane...

All the best

I'm going to say that the fuselage is that of a Northrop A-17

Hi Matthew!
That's it! Congratulations!
Right wing = Junkers Ju 86
Left wing = Caproni Ca. 311
Fuselage = Northrop A-17
Tail = Ilyushin Il-2
Over to you!

Read your earlier post, the aircraft name was in the failed image URL address. I'm not a mind reader!
Try again.

You got it... This time I know it will work on the first try. Again going manufacturer and aircraft with this one... And no reading the failed posts (Grubby)
This one is a real aircraft... Flew with the VVS in World War Two. Russia's only true long- range bomber of the war. Could hit Berlin from bases far inside of Russia.
