Quickmarch 488 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 It looks remarkably LIKE the Pullman Train. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 The clues are all in place Brett. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Ok I will kill this one off. If you took the Pullman train to Bristol I think you may catch the first of these at 7:20 pm every 24 hours. Scotland has its warrior brother at a village on the river Dee in Aberdeenshire. The aircraft is the Bristol Pullman, (take the Pullman to Bristol) It first flew in 1920 (7.20 in 24 hour clock is 19:20) Its military counterpart was the Bristol Braemar, which is also the name of a Scottish village on the river Dee in Aberdeenshire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 It is indeed the Bristol Pullman, It never got into production as A, the pilots hadted the closed in cockpit and B it was felt that the high landing speed(60mph) would be too high for pilots to handle! (clearly who ever thought of that excuse had never been a fighter pilot in WW1 !) Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nicely done John. I wouldn't mind a home cockpit with that view. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ok try this one, and a bonus point if you can say which unusual place it was used! Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Unusual place it was used. By the size of it I'd say a small duck pond. No idea what it is though. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Parnall Peto - N181. It crashed at Gibraltar, rebuilt as N255 and then lost from submarine M2 when the hangar flooded. This ended the aircraft carrier submarine for the UK, but the Japanese still had planes for them 1 Link to post Share on other sites

J G 927 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Over to you Chuck! And the bonus for the Submarine bit! well done. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's quite easy to find out RAF / Navy stuff, especially early stuff, if you know where to look I'll have a dig around tonight / tomorrow morning for something that hopefully will be taxing!

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think Harry Potter could have learnt to fly in this little bird! although Flight training was not generally on Hogwarts curriculam! Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I pity the poor buggers that were next in that cockpit, it looks like its peeing down in the photo. At least with a tail dragger the water drained away! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Gone quiet on here? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Apologies, I haven't been around a lot. Clue time me thinks It was a private aircraft, but was impressed in 1940 and used for training only one type of aircraft then in RAF service Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Indeed there was only the one, used to train pilots on trycycle undercarriage handling. It was a deritive of a 2/4 seat cabin monoplane built around the same time. There are still quite a few of the latter still flying. I also covered that aircraft on here some time ago in the screenshot page. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 OK if no-ones playing , Its the General Aircraft Owlet. The basic design is similar to the larger Cygnet. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Help me out, here. The first shot looks to have tandem seating (and open cockpits). The screenshot, above looks like side-by-side seating. Are these derivatives of the same aircraft? Edit: found them - owlet and cygnet. Ugly little rascals! Link to post Share on other sites
