Hi David!

Was it the Vought XF4-U Corsair?

Jean-Luc

Yes, Jean-Luc. Your turn sir.



David

Hi All!

The next one is for the Luftwaffe afficionados!

Give me the complete german spelling for the following shorts:

STUKA =
JABO =
FLAK =

It's easy so you have to be fast!

Jean-Luc

Let me try this...

Stuka = Short for STUrzKAmpfflugzeug

Jabo = Short for JAgdBOmber

Flak = Short for FLiegerAbwehrKanone

cheers,
David

Salut David!

Jahwohl! Itz de Right AnsweR! I Knew It Waz Eazy!

Itz youR Turn nOw! :-)

Hans-Lukas (German for Jean-Luc)

Neat, I'm next again....very easy this time...

How many guns does the JUGgernaut have?



David.

Well let's think...

Nine!
Eight for the plane and one for the pilot?

Jean-Luc

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

That's funny. Didn't see that one coming.

Your turn sir.

David.

Hope this one will be a hard nut to crack!

Identify this plane


I will unblur the picture a little bit if you can't find it!

Jean-Luc

PS: don't go to the members gallery, you wont't find the name or the following picture there;)

Hmmn...2 bladed prop, bomb underneath, antenna mast near the windshield....

Is it an SB2U Vindicator?


David

Damned David!

You got it with the first attempt!



You could have enlisted in the Anti-Aircraft Artillery! Your pilots would have been in security!

Next time i'll blur more

Your turn Mister!

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc,

I thought I made a mistake at first. I thought it was the V-156 Cheasapeake (export version of the Vindicator).

Well I guess it's my turn again.

Guess what this is...

Hi David

It's a Vought O2U Corsair. The first corsair at all!



Jean-Luc

Man, your good Jean-Luc! Your turn sir.

I think there are at least four different aircraft named Corsairs made by Vought. Not a trivia but why is A-7 a Corsair II? Makes me wonder. :-) :-)

Thanks David!

How about this one!


No, it's not the same plane

Jean-Luc

Hey all!

Nobody wants to move?

Here is one hint:
The constructor of the plane later made... well... more bigger ones!

Jean-Luc

Hey what's happening!

Does everybody sleep?

Well here is one more hint:
The constructor of the plane is actually one of the two biggest commercial plane company in the world! And no, the plane on the picture is not an Airbus :-)

So what? Is that the end of the trivia? Doh!

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc

I haven't been asleep - just away working!

Well, from the hints, it must be a Lockheed!

Actually, I'm guessing Boeing and, although I don't have many refs for their early aircraft, I'll plump for an XF3B-1.

Well, at least I tried...

All the best

Rowan

Hi Merlin!

Good to hear from you again!

Aren't Boeing and Airbus the two major companies actually (I said that before really checking out I confess )

For your answer, you're so close I can count it as a good answer (in fact I'm happy to let you ask the next question!)

It is a Boeing FB-6, which is basically a radial engine version of the FB-1. FB-1 to FB-6 where based on the same airframe I suppose. I don't know this planes that much but I found they looked like the O2U of the previous question so...

Your turn Merlin!

Jean-Luc

PS: how is your Ju-87 A going?

Hi Jean-Luc

I'm showing my age! Remember the days when Douglas and Lockheed were big in the airliner business too!?

Cheers for being generous on the ID - I got very confused by the variety of tails and engines fitted to the early Boeing fighters and my Jane's aircraft encyclopedia just wasn't detailed enough to pin it down!

I'm afraid the Junkers is still at the stage you last saw it - a heavy period at work has stopped me modelling much lately.

I'll try to find a question.

All the best

Rowan

What's this little prototype fighter?



All the best

Rowan

Woah!

This one seems complicated!

Looks like Fokker!

Jean-Luc

Hi again

It's not a Fokker, but it is from a famous company.

Well Rowan...

It seems we all need a new hint

Country maybe (is it US)?

Jean-Luc

Well, seeing as we've hardly been deluged with answers :-)... it's a British aircraft.
