hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 OK - next clue, it's a close relation to the Bristol 'Brit', to borrow a railway phrase Link to post Share on other sites
colwah 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Is it the Vickers Vanguard?? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Nope - it's from Canada........... Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Four engine jets from Canada.. can't be to many to pick from.. The only one I've found so far is the Avro Canada C102 Jetliner, so I think that should be a good guess at least... Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 They are jets with props Mickael......... but you'll find the company making CRJ's, but under the Bombardier name....... Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Darn, I was so sure all Dash planes were twin engine, so I just skipped those when going through the Bombardier list The turbo-prop possibility did hit me, but not until I was in my car heading home.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nope - earlier than the Dash 7 Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 The Canadair CL-44? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Correct! Clues - Right Continent - North America, Close relationship with the Bristol Britannia (some say it's the same aircraft built in Canada, but that's wrong) 4 turboprops Canadair now build Canadair Regional Jet's (CRJ's) for Bombardier Your turn John!

stu7708 244 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Darn again! I looked at that one, but the images I found were all taken from an angle that made it look like a twin-engine... Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 The CRJ hint gave it away! Okay, here's the next one: I said I would make it hard... Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'll take a wild stab in the dark, is it the A2F (A-6) Intruder? Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 OK, looking for something devious. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is a photo of a model uner construction (not by me). I've cropped out some of the more distinctive features of the AC but there are still a few showing. I'm thinking Chuck is going to be all over this like stink on a skunk.

pacinka 0 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Reminds me of a B-25, but some parts of it don't add up. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I know full well what this is, down to the mark. But since I'm going on holiday today I'll leave it for someone else! Looks like a nice model, if that's what it is Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I figured you'd have it in a millisecond, Kieran. The weapons mix in the bomb bay might be a clue to some; the two forward, outboard weapons and some of the others, if identified, might be a clue to the role of the AC. Also, the nose strut is pretty unique. Of course the "appendage" at the rear is a dead giveaway, if you're familiar with the type at all. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 The two forward, outboard weapons shown are torpedoes. John Link to post Share on other sites
