😀 :
The more observant of you will notice that a stowaway discreetly hid in the nosewheel bay :p

I was trying to see if that nose wheel thingy would come off and go at the back where it belongs!!!!

I think it is, judging by the rudder and engine exhaust, but the rear window doesn’t look quite right? The bottom sill looks a bit too high an angle, although that may be the angle the photo was taken playing tricks with the eye. Possibly a J/5 of some description (not an Autocar though), maybe an Aiglet?

Nope, definately a J1N Alfa, used to own one, it looks like a J1N, it smells like a J1N, it tastes like a J1N. Its?????????????? A J1N!

Looks like Robert Simpson 450hp Stearman that had been converted to a Duster in the US, had squared off wing tips and from memory also a spring gear U/C. Cut out at tail is completely standard, usualy covered by panels but are usually left off on the dustersnas they trap chemicals and cause all sorts of trouble!! Think he sold it a while back now and as mentioned before is now abroad. Was this quick enough!

I always thought that a bit odd, as surely the Eindekker ould have been outclassed by the SE5 at that point, but I guess they needed another, slightly different, WW1 fighter to make up the numbers.

Incidentally, does anyone know the IDs of the planes used in that movie? (Might be a thread on its own!)

Certainly Roy Leggs Jungmister G-AXIH was used as a German Machine, the eindecker and a Vima were also used with some tiger moths thrown in for good measure.

This is indeed the A/C in question, it was indeed used by the BBC for some flying schenes for “Wings” Tha majority of the flying however was carried out by R/C models.
