Correct, sir.;)
Thanks RAB – from two wings to three……..
Darmstadt D-18.
Larson Speed Bird.
OH please.
By the way, it did fly !
XB-51 in ‘Toward the Unknown’ (William Holden)
B-23 in RAF livery in ‘Cloak & Dagger’ (Gary Cooper)
It was a Ca.309 just built in Bulgaria.
Chris
There were significant differences – engines, tail shape, glazing, etc. If you want to call it a Caproni 309, fine. Only it wasn’t.
I’m going back to the Outhouse. Gliders ? Pah…..
Yes indeed, Argus engines on the Bulgar KB-6 Papagal, (I think I even left the underwing cross showing.)
Over to you, sir.
Nope. It is not made by Caproni.
Another view which may help.
As I said, no idea what’s gone before. How about this one ?
It’s the Jamieson Jupiter.
Didn’t think it would last long. Guess we’ll have to wait for Richard’s next..
Over at the Outhouse we offer a wee refreshment for a correct answer, but (a) you don’t have the requisite smiley here and (b) you are patently a bunch of sober upstanding gentlemen anyway, so we’ll leave it at that…..
Trouble is, as a newbie, I don’t know what’s been posted before in these parts. We’ll try this one…..
The Afco RL.3 Monsoon !
The Viscount hit the spot before the jets really became viable, and they sold 445 of them, a respectable figure for those days, to over 70 operators.
The Vanguard was probably too late and most were taken by BEA, as many of us who buzzed between Edinburgh and London fondly remember.
Having spent many hours flying in all three of those, I’d say they were sound commercial aircraft, the Viscount in particular a worldwide success.
Great aircraft to fly in – spacious, smooth and with REAL windows to look out of !
