Guess this one:

I thought originally they where Handley Page Hinaidi's..... but the engines are wrong
I'm going with Hyderabads

Cheers

Full score Alfie
Hinaidi's would have had Bristol Jupiter radial engines, these are Napier Lion inliners.
The picture shows Handley Page Hyderabads of 99 Sqn from RAF Upper Heyford en route to the RAF Display, held at RAF Hendon on June 30, 1928.

Your turn!

Marvelous !
Either would fly beautifully in CUP's " Golden Age " 

Right,

Have you got your cap on backwards ?
Are your goggles nice and tight ?

What's the name of this creditable 1st attempt ?




Cheers

easy mate, a Fokker spin from 1911 

[Alfie Noakes]

Spot on.....




He made 3 maybe 4 versions of the Spin....I think I prefer this one...everything's roughly in the right place.....clean lines.....a good looking a/c 

Over to you Champion.....

Cheers

Alfie

P.S  You were nobody in 1911 if you didn't have a compass strapped to your leg

Let me say that for some reason beyond explanation I find the XB-51 a fascinating plane.
An unorthodox "built to purpose" aircraft, highly maneuverable at low level (even if it doesn't look like) and fast down tree top.
And it looks mean.
I mean "mean" if you know what I mean

For me it looks like a DIY plane by a Bauhaus artist: the fuselage is geometrical and strictly symmetrical in all three dimensions, the stabilizer is like a detachable addition, just to define the rear part of the plane and to repeat the angle of the wings which are small as if they were control surfaces rather than to produce lift. And they are added to the fuselage at the exact centerline both vertically and horizontally.

Anyway, another funny plane:

A twin engine derivate of the F-35?
