hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Twin Warhawk (P-40)? The wheels look right for that Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Arado 240? Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It looks like I may have finally found a challenging one. So the next hint: it was an allied aircraft and from what was probably an obscure manufacturer. But it's not the Twin P-40 though Kieran. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 How about the Commonwealth Ca-11 Woomera? or the prototype Ca-4 Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well, it lasted about 24 hrs. Yes, Brett, it is the multi role CA-11 'Woomer' bomber designed and built by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC). Whilst a production order was placed, it never entered production. One interesting design feature was the two remote controlled twin machine gun barbettes mounted at the rear of the engine nacelles. These can be clearly seen in the picture below.

brett 2,283 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I couldn't figure out what those machine guns were. It took reading the description to figure it out. I must have caught Alan sleeping, he's been on a streak lately. Ok guys, give me a bit and I'll see if I can get ya's a good one. Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 934 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It looks like the Yak-11. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,283 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yes, it certainly does look real close to the Yak Andrew........but sorry that's not it. Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 could even be an LA7 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 The earlier ones had inline water cooled engines. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 La-7 it is Alan, well done. You know your aircraft. There was a distinct difference in the engine cowl. The La-5 was a bit fatter and the La-7 was straighter from front to back. Sorry I made you work for it. Over to you........ Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 LOL, thanks Brett, OK try this one, should be easy! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Vickers Windsor - another of Barnes Wallis' creations, not bad to fly apparently, just too late to see the war. The wings flexed quite a bit - a bomber 787! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I didn't think that would last long, 11 mins has got to be one of the shortest though! It is indeed the Vickers Windsor, over to you Kieran.. I'd love to have seen this one fly though! the Vickers type C heavy bomber proposal! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 That Type C looks very nice! Wonder if anyone has made a model of it? Anyways, here is the next one Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 That type C looks like what would happen if they began serving beer in the canteen at the Lancaster works. John Link to post Share on other sites
