Unknown Propliner / Transport

i/d

I’m a bit late to this one but it’s definitely DC-7.

All (production and currently flying) 7’s did have 4-blade props (Wright R-3350 engines) as opposed to the 3-bladers of the DC-6 (P&W R-2800’s)

The big giveaway is the carb intake long rear fairing (the one on top of the cowling) as opposed to the 6’s shorter unit.

Luvverly stuff – thanks for posting the pics all!

Excellent, thank you.
For some reason I thought it was British.
I wouldn`t have expected them to have a spinner.

Now you’re just showing off Keith:D:D

From my recent flights on DC-7B N836D, hope these can help ??

Keith 🙂

I thought that it was the case that all DC-7’s had 4 bladed props?
dairwin, thank you for pointing out the stub, I now think that this is in fact a DC-7.
There is this picture here http://www.enginehistory.org/wright_aero.shtml

Stub?

As we see, some DC-6s had prop spinners, and not all DC-7s had 4 bladed props…so there goes my formerly foolproof ID method. :rolleyes:

DC6 I reckon –

EDIT – whilst googling for a suitable picture HP81 beat me to it! 😀

Looks like a DC-6 to me.

DC-7. (?)
