[SAS~Storebror]

Without a doubt that's 2 british soldiers sitting in that thingy thing.
What is it?
A desperate attempt of obstinate soldiers to cross the channel just before brexit?
A german UFO found in the cliffs of cornwall?

Best regards - Mike

Westland WG 33.

According to helicopter history site http://www.helis.com/ it was intend to be a 2-seat light reconnaissance helicopter but due to a lack of interest or funding the project was abandoned. Only 1 mock-up built.

[Alfie Noakes]

"Westland started investigations in 1977 into a light two seat
helicopter that could be used for aerial reconnaissance without the need for a skilled
pilot. "

 

I know it has coaxial rotors but that a/c has "Horrible Death" written all over it .....

Made in Yeovil in 1977...says it all really 

I think I'll stick to Bleriot 11's  thank you   

Cheers

Alfie

 You got it Shakaali 


I agree alfie. This doesn't show much in the way of survivability if an incident should happen especially if you have to punch the ejector seat button. 

I'm tempted to build this one just to see how it flies.

P.s Moulinex perhaps but I was thinking more along the lines of Ninja Blender.

[Shakaali]

Ok, here you go.

What is this aircraft?  Or, actually, what was this aircraft before it collided with a henhouse.

[sniperton]

It's too easy. Another please

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Gamecock

[Shakaali]

Darn. Didn't know the same picture is in Wikipedia  Mine was from http://www.ilmailumuseot.fi/tuotteet.html?id=20738/233732

But yes, it is Gloster Gamecock II, AFAIK the only surviving Gamecock in the world. It is at display in Finnish Aviation Museum in Vantaa. 

I visited there a few years back. Our guide said that hens were very excited as a big and strong gamecock came to visit them through the wall 

Your turn, sniperton

[sniperton]

I haven't found the Wiki picture first. I simply searched for WWII Finnish aircraft wrecks in museum, and came accross to your image in less than 5 minutes. I think it was really too easy, much easier than if you had uploaded a historical b/w photo of an intact plane. You gave me a chance to 'cheat' and I did so. 
If you have another quest in the attic, please proceed.

[Shakaali]

Well, I wouldn't call that cheating. That is creative background work I expected, although you were quite fast 

Using Google Image search would be cheating...

Go ahead, sniperton. Or call it an open house.
