dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Have a go at this one, should be a doddle ! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 No guesses yet? Look carefully and you can see styling clues from the aircraft from which it was descended. This one was the full scale mock up. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 OK Alan, I'll take the bait and come straight in with the mock-up of the Hawker P.1121. It was developed to meet the Air Ministry's Operational Requirement, OR.339. Work was stopped in 1958, after the infamous 1957 Defence White Paper by the Minister of Defence, Duncan Sandys, which called for manned fighter aircraft to be phased out and replaced with guided missiles. What in hell was he thinking - or maybe taking. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Correct Andrew as I expected you would be, it is the ill fated P1121, It was based loosely on the Hunter but had a lot more power among other things, It's layout was years ahead of anything else in it's class and it had people interested all over the world! Then that idiot Sandys stuck his nose in and the rest is history , Arguably the best fighter we never got, the flying attributes of the Hunter with the power of an F-16! I do wish someone would make this for FS ! Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Here we go with the next one. I will be specific about designation.just for the extra challenge. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Jurom/Soko J-22 Orao. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Alan, The short answer is, no. Having said that though, I think it's merely academic. The source actually identified it as the IAR-93 "Vultur". So much for the partial reveal. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I've got one of those things in my hangar, the configuration is quite rare now, side intakes with a high wing, Not a Jag or a Mitsu F1 that just leaves this one. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 IAR-93 was of course the Romanian name for the same aircraft. Hence the JUROM builders name originally used. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Okay, have a shot at this one. Should be easyish. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Alan, I know it but will wait a few days to give the others a chance to answer. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I reassembled Alan's picture and am still clueless! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Not sure what clues to give you without giving it away, hmmmm, ok It's NOT American. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 It kind of fell into my lap but is it the Miles Mercury M28? British made Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm afraid not Brett, It's not one of theirs. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 This company was generally famous for something a lot bigger ! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hmmm, thought that was it for sure. It does look close though, oh well, back to the search........ Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 As you can see this is an FS pic, It's freeware too, delightfull to fly and a great little tourer. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, the Miles M.28 'Mercury', would be an obvious answer, but too obvious in this instance. There are some subtle differences between the M.28 and what Alan's challenge is. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's a bit of an ugly duckling from some angles, but quite beautiful from others, thats only my view though. I guess the guy that put his signature at the bottom of the blueprints must have liked it anyway. Either way its a cute little bird and great to fly. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think you are being too general, Alan. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
