Alright I`m taking Groove`s turn then :D I know you won`t mind, people :P

 

[gigz-on]

I think we should rename this thread - Neverending contest (questions by topol-m ) :lol:

[topol-m]

LOL :cheer3nc: Great idea! ;)

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Topol-m, what the heck?!

 

Let the others have some fun as well, man! :P

[topol-m]

Alright answer that one and I`m leaving you guys alone for 2-3 weeks. :bye_3:

[topol-m]

The first clue - this is an experimental aircraft.

Why this doesn't surprise me? :music_whistling:

 

Is it British?

It is like a rule that I rarely break not to tell the country of origin. I might tell where it isn`t from but telling the country of origin is the second most powerful clue after the company manufacturer :D

[Fjordmonkey]

I'm thinking british, and twin-engined. No idea apart from that.

this is:

1 - US

2 - jet-powered

3 - twin-engine aircraft

4 - looking at quality of photo, it is 50's or 60's

 

Was it pre-production or purely experimental aircraft?

It`s an experimental aircraft that never entered serial production.

The cockpit is far to orderly to be a British product .... and I think you have been sneaky by posting it as a mirror reversal :)

Maybe or maybe not :P Tests of the aircraft were conducted in the 50s.

1 — No. 2 — Yes. 3 — No. 4 — 1947-1952.

 

Can I give the answer?

[topol-m]

:D Yes of course!

[Namenlos Ein]

Answer is the Switzerland's first jet fighter aircraft FFA N-20 Aiguillon.

Yeah, first the external view and now the cockpit, you guessed them both :thumbup: As I promised I`m taking a 3 weeks break from this thread.

[Neon Knight]

What is this?

 

Su-24 with some bombs under its wings and belly.:)

As for bombs, i can make an educated guess, and say that it's ZB-500s (ЗБ-500)...

[Namenlos Ein]

No, it is not ZB-500.

C'mon, Topol-m, don't go! You know we love you :D

[topol-m]

Don`t worry I`ll be back in 3 weeks in full power, with 8-10 hard riddles prepared :thumbup:

Edited February 8, 2010 by topol-m

[Neon Knight]

No, it is not ZB-500.

 

 

Well, then my guess was not that educated :doh:.

Thing looks pretty much like SAB-250-200. Maybe it is indeed SAB-250-200 or SAB-250T?

[zakobi]

Is it a airburst bomb?

[Namenlos Ein]

It looks very similar to SAB-250-200, but it's smaller and used for different purpose.

Diameter — 325 mm.

Weight — 201 kg.

Weight of illuminating charge — 68,8 kg.

Number of flares — 7.

Burning time of each flare — at least 6 min.

???

Diameter — 280 mm.

Length — 1065 mm.

Weight — 98 kg.

Time of burning — >195 sec.

[zakobi]
