Name that Aircraft

OOOHHH you're good!! I had a fealing it was gonna be amilitary plane but I decided not to say anything until I had run out of civilian planes first. I have to agree that it is too skinny but I didn't realize that until I saw the guy in the middle. I would have to say that once again you get to go.

1) Unless the man in the picture is really thin, this is not gonna be a wide-bodie.The width is in the 737/320 range. Most definately not tristar or 747.


So, what's it gonna be. Well, my guess goes to a plane based on the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. Really guessing now, the C-97 tanker plane at the Spanish air force museum?

Haha no the man in the picture is not particularly thin, though he wouldnt like me saying that lol.

Yes it is military and yes it is in a museum but its not any Stratocruiser derivative. However you are alot more on the right track than any of the other types tried so far.

Keep at it team, I'll post a bit more tonight if no one has got it by then.

Blackburn Beverly C.1?

Not a Beverly either. But atleast you are on the right track now, atleast in terms of it having propellers...

Short Sunderland? At a guess at Hendon.

No, that has a Skid to stop them tipping up on her nose on landing.
