Whatever it is , it looks like another glorious failure ...   possibly Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle  ?


(Shortly to feature in the request section I expect  )

You got it! 

We really need one of these for glider towing and pathfinder missions.

Hmmm..... I think I hear a request approaching.

your turn!

I just pissed my pants for laughing when I saw it becoming real.
Priceless Glynn & James, absolutely priceless.

I will be out of town for a few days so I will throw this open to the firsat person who steps up with the next idea, good luck...

Okay, let's do something different this time.
Now you have to guess two planes!
Take care, if you guess just one right, you will give away that information to others who will gratefully complete the quest

Which planes are depicted here?





Best regards - Mike

Hm, i fail to see any connection between these two photos?

The first one is an Abrams Explorer, one-off civilian aerial survey plane from the 1930's, the second one is a parachute divebrake as fitted on some Do 217s.

[SAS~Storebror]

Absolutely right, your turn

[Radoye]

So, was there a connection between the two or not? 

And, what's this?

[Radoye]

Nobody?

Hint: it is not a Soviet-produced plane.

[SAS~Storebror]

was there a connection between the two or not?

They were taken from the same issue of "Luftfahrt International", that's the connection

what's this?
(...)
not a Soviet-produced plane

Your national pride gives it away
This should be an Ikarus type 522 (often referred to as "Soko 522"), which funny enough (if I'm not totally wrong here) depicted an Fw 190 in the movie "Kelly's Heroes", some might call that a B-Movie but at least actors like Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland were part of it.

If that's right I'd like to give the next round free as "open round" for everyone!

Best regards - Mike

[Radoye]

Yes, it is a Soko type 522.

[SAS~Storebror]

So we've got an open round again.
C'mon guys, show us your old plane pics from the attic

Best regards - Mike
