brett 2,315 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looks like the drawings of that new LSR-B bomber but I didn't know they actually built one yet. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Initially I thought it was the F117-A, but the wing angle is all wrong Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Northrop Grumman X-47B. Flight testing being performed from the aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush, CVN-77. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 So, not a guess then Andrew? Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oh, I don't know Brett, I could be wrong - what! Edit: But it is definitely the USS George H. W. Bush - at least I will get that right. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Andrew is usually a VERY GOOD guesser. John Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Would that thing be the Boeing X45A? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If that was a guess Andrew, I'd hate to see something you really know!! Yep, Northrop-Grumman X-47B on the USS George H. W. Bush. Perfect. But, who can tell me what carrier-based drones were used in the Korean War? Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 That would be the Grumman F6F 'Hellcat', flying from USS Boxer and radio controlled from an escorting Douglas A-1 'Skyraider'. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 OK - I give up! Correct yet again Andrew! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Good Guess Andrew. I wasnt sure whether to opt for the X-45 or X-47, I chose wrong LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Good Guess Andrew. I wasnt sure whether to opt for the X-45 or X-47, I chose wrong LOL Alan, UAVs and fictional aircraft aren't normally my area, but I stuck at this one. The wingtip profile didn't fit the X-45 and it was obviously the USS George H. W. Bush. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 OK - I give up! Correct yet again Andrew! Kieran, Don't give up. I have had years of a depraved and deprived life to get to this. Maybe it could be something you could look forward to. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think Kieran would come into his own with a "Guess the Locomotive" thread. Show him one of the screw heads holding the inspection cover for the air brake servo and he could tell you make, model, serial number and the middle name of the engineer's mistress.

But I guess there's no point stoking an argument and getting all steamed up about it. After all, I don't want to burst a boiler. Maybe you could whistle me another tune! But please don't misinterpret what I'm saying as I'm not suggesting a tender moment and, least of all, a coupling.Having said all that, I think this thread has been derailed and at this junction maybe it's time to change the points and get it back on track, unless you want to signal something else.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Diesel and electrics for me my friends! Having said that, I am going to York to see all 6 A4's at the same time - should be nice! Anyway - your turn Andrew! Link to post Share on other sites
