simi_av8r 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 its not a C-212 'Aviocar' is it Mut?? The nose shape seems to direct me to the Spanish maker for some reason.... i know it's not the exact same image, but if you elongate the forward nose section for a radome, voila, looks very similar...

rob16584 42 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It looks like some kind of army aircraft to me Link to post Share on other sites
CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It looks like a Swedish Coast Guard C-212 to me, as the randome and the gear positioning look exactly like pictures that I have found, however I'm not too sure about the paint scheme, as the pictures I have seen ahve a bright orange band next to the randome, which the plane you posted lacks.

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Well, it MIGHT be a Gloster Nightjar. Several features seem to line up, but I wouldn't hang a high confidence level on it. John Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dear Sir, I have taken my medicine - at least my apothecary tells me I have - and would offer the following suggestion, in respect of your request for information concerning, what appears, at first sight, to be a close up, albeit diagrammatically oriented, of the under-carriage of a de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth. Lastly, I must apologise for my rather unkempt previous offering. Wishing you a very good day, I remain, Yours faithfully, D. David. Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dai, john, sam, sorry guys, all wrong. Not an airco dh2, nor the Gloster Nightjar, and not the dh82 either. Although you're all correct in that it is a bi-plane. Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well done Kieran! indeed, well done mate... however, from what i gather from Kieran's post on July's screenshot competition, he's now on holiday. So, if we haven't heard from him here, or on the other sections of the forum by 9am on Wednesday 15th July, then i'll permit you, Rob, as the first poster following Kieran's correct guess, the right to continue the challenge and post a picture to get us all guessing!!
