see I have my uses

by **Saracenman** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:59 pm

hmmmmmmm - obviously experimental - and probably from the 1950's judging from the picture

could be any of a handful of manufacturers but I'll have a stab at DH? looks like the sort of thing they'd try.

educated guess, going on what i presume the rough wing profile to be - DH108? i know they messed with wing fences and stuff so could be...

ok I'll shut up now =))

by **Mackrick** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:36 pm

nope not Dh and you are taking a long time to get this one ...

by **Saracenman** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:40 pm

ok - I'll go with my first instinct, although i couldn't think of why it'd be right...........

is it an Avro Vulcan? =))

gotta be tail-less surely? otherwise why the variable control wingtips???

Nope not a Vulcan
It was experimental you are right on that one..
It did have links to the V-Bomber requirement B35/46 in particular..

by **Saracenman** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:14 pm

Victor then? B35/46 seems to have been to do with only Vulcan and Victor ~x(

by **Mackrick** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:20 pm

Nope not Victor...

Another clue

It was the first powered aircraft to employ the "aero-isoclinic" wing.

by **Saracenman** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:27 pm

well that meant nothing to me so i had to look up what it meant =))

the only thing that comes close is the Short's Sherpa? although i can't see any relationship with V-bombers. it is tail-less though which seems to fit ~x(

otherwise I'm completely stumped

edit - aha! wiki thinks i'm right too $\:D/$

by **Mackrick** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:27 pm

Correct SM you get another turn..

Sorry that I took my time with this but I've just been out. It was scary. I'm not doing that again.

Try this one.

by **Dan4th** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:13 pm

I know EXACTLY what it is, but I ain't replying
because I am incapable of posting piccies.

Its initials, though, are shared with one of
YOUR great companies, those being "RR".

Murkin production, though, and one of those
that REALLY ought to have been built in
quantity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan4th

EDIT: How about this aircraft having the possibility
to do New York to London in slightly more than
Eight Hours in 1948!

by **Saracenman** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:15 pm

well just tell us D4th and I'll shove a snap up for ya

by **Dan4th** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:43 pm

It's all yours, SM, you know already!!!!!

My Favo(u)rite that never got built!

Dan4th

EDIT: Oh, all right. Republic Rainbow.
Watch this first then go to WIKI.

by **Spitfire** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 10:19 pm

Surely it can't be as easy as a Ford Tri-Motor

by **Stevieboy** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 10:58 pm

Stinson SM-6000-B Tri-Motor

by **Dan4th** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:19 pm

Cigar for Stevie!

Funny, you didn't know it when I put one
