BAFO = British Air Forces of Occupation.
Presumably the forward vision when taxying would be vastly improved, since there wasn’t a long nose in front!
As Kev has suggested, Ross McNeill, author of the Coastal Command Losses series, may be able to help. He has his own website with an excellent forum which I’ve found extremely useful. Kev has already mentioned trying the site, but I noticed you’ve not posted there. It may still be worth trying and Ross might spot it quicker. The forum is accessible from http://www.rafcommands.com and it does not harm to try.
I think No 3 is a Flettner Kolibri (Hummingbird), obviously post-capture by US forces.
Apologies for the bad English. The above should, of course, read “too easy.”
The designers were identified much quicker than I expected and I thought some might never be identified at all. How I underestimated you all! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little quiz. Would there be any interest for further ‘guess the designer’ quizzes?
I knew I’d made the clue to easy. 😡
Here’s a gratuitous photo of an aircraft based on one of his designs.
Wrong again, I’m afraid. Time for a clue perhaps?
I hope this isn’t too obvious, but this chap worked at various stages in his career for both the Dornier and Messerschmitt companies.
Not AV Roe either, Chris.
I’m afraid not, Adam. I’ll see if there are any other tries, before putting up a clue.
Well done, Chris. No 5 is indeed Alexander Yakovlev.
Distiller: I’m afraid that 13 isn’t Handley Page. Anyone any guesses?
Well done, Chris. 7 is indeed Kurt Tank and 10 is Ernst Heinkel. My little deception didn’t work. :rolleyes: Any takers for 5 and/or 13?
Correct again Adam, before I could even summarise what was left! Just 5, 7, 10 and 13 remaining.
That leaves numbers 2, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 13 to answer.
Well done Adam. I had hoped that saving the images under different names might throw people off, but obviously not the professionals like yourself!
Well, no disrespect, but that is the easy one. 😀
