dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Come on guys, surely someones found this one? Here's another view of it. It looks even uglier! Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 943 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Alan, I have been holding my fingers since you first put this up in an attempt to share it around by hoping one of the others would get it, but I can't let this go on any longer - the suspense is killing me. It's the Sukhoi Su-15 (I), all weather interceptor from 1949 - not to be confused with the more successful Su-15 'Flagon' interceptor from 1962. The earlier and uglier Su-15 suffered many problems primarily severe vibration and flutter and resulted in the loss of the first prototype after which the program was cancelled with the second prototype uncompleted.

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 That's exactly what it is Andrew. the SU15. The Russkies sure did produce some strange beasts back then. A lot of them were based on German WW2 research of course. Over to you old chap! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It kind of looks like a distorted F-86 D with that dome above the intake. My first impression was "Russian", but couldn't get beyond that. John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Here's the next one guys. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 It puts me in mind of a Convair of some kind.... John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not a Convair, John. Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 It is from a European manufacturer. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 A very well known manufacturer at that. surely at least one of our members should know this one! Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ok, the company who produced this aircraft is also renowned for producing military aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was still looking at the UK, but couldn't tie anyone to automobiles except R-R, who didn't build whole aircraft, only engines. Nice work, Brett - score one for the second shift. John Link to post Share on other sites
