brett 2,314 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I can't find any pictures to give the model but is this a bi-plane from the Bird Aircraft Company? Model? Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Bi-plane is correct Brett. But not from Bird Aircraft Company. Wrong side of the pond One more clue then. Built in the homeland of a famous US Governor. Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Correct on the maker but not the model. And on the governor Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 C1, DII or DIII all of which were used by the Swedish Air Force. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 But I'm going for the J1 ! of which one exists in the Swedish Air Force Museum!! Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Let's try with a Abrams P-1 Explorer. How on earth did you get that one? It certainly is the Abrams Explorer. Over to you again Stu. Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 one of my favourite aircraft. Landing speed of virtually 0kts! and tough as old boots. The Russkies certainly knew how to build them! Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ok I did some searching and found an aircraft that will work. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Looks like a Connie - can't be that simple. Can it? Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nope it's not going to be simple. And not a Connie. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,314 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Canadair CP-107 Argus? Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Yes it is the Canadair CP-107 Argus. Much thought as the best Maritime patrol aircraft until the P-3 showed up. Link to post Share on other sites
