Name that aircraft!

I rather thought that Tom (Smudger) was our man.

 

Here was me thinking it was both of you!!

OK I will take a look in my books and post one.

Regards
Tom

 

Call this one hard and everyone can have a go.

It is aeroplane that I always thought was very nice and clean looking, but extremely expensive to build.




Regards
Tom

 

Bristol 188.

Assuming I'm correct, Smudger can have another go as I'm supposed to be otherwise occupied!

 

Yes you are correct.

Bristol 188 which was made of all stainless Steel, but used too much fuel to provide a decent airtime.

I have a pressing engagement shortly, so can I ask Blutto to post the next plane.

Regards
Tom

 

I don't think this has been posted before. First clue: Its not a Fairey Bushpig!

I think though that its ugly enough to have attracted attention, so lets call it a Medium.

 

PZL.30 Zubr
(Poland)

I'm betting that the designer must have dated ugly women too!

 

Spot on.

Ugly women are actually called Bush Pigs down here, hence the mention - most unkind, as even Bush Pigs need lovin'

 

Call this one a Medium

 

Ok, I'll upgrade that to Hard.

 

I wonder if those guys got the hump holding on like that.

 

Someone please guess it before I forget what it is. I'm not getting any younger.

 

Sopwith Hydro Tractor?

 

Yes indeed.

Thank God.

 

Is someone going to post another picture or am I going to have to post another crossword

 

I could always post the one I did for the Squadron newsletter last winter...

 

The last correct answer was over a month ago so I reckon it is expired. Why not...

 

Go for it. I'm tired of these northern hemisphere types neglecting the thread to cut their grass, prune their roses or whatever they do during their fragile summer. :P

 

What was that, did not quite catch it over the sound of the lawnmower

 

How about this then.

I believe this is a hard one.

Here is a hint: It is water related.
