  • Sorry, Maverick, she is not from the Shorts stable.


    Perhaps we are getting to the point where a hint or two is in order?

    The aircraft is English, WWII vintage. A production run of some 300 aircraft were planned, but only three prototypes ever flew.

    Cheers,

            Very tricky showing the outer engine like that, most people wouldnt think of a 4 engine bomber having landing gear in each engine nacele.

            Righto folks I have to go flying now (gosh life is tough isnt it) so check back at about 0700UTC for the next one.

                • That looks to me like it's a Convair R3Y Tradewind, but that's probably just the lack of sleep and decongestants talking.

                    That looks to me like you're right.



                    Well done.

                        Why wasn't this baby build in a firefighter version? It would be a good successor forthe 2 old Martin Mars up there in Washington I think...

                          You're right on both counts. I know the tradewind had some fairly hideous problems, too, but as a firefighter neither of those planes could really be beaten. Okay, well, if you overlook the tendency of their engines to malfunction in catastrophic ways.

                          • Ok guys, my turn I think.
                            A little (too) tricky, maybe. :P
