Namenlos Ein, your turn again! :thumbup:

though zakobi was first who said it's a JATO.

 

That man on picture is just an DDR mechanic. I photoshoped his face to distract you guys.

 

And I have to warn you: don't let me win again because my next riddle will be really hard!

Barrels with beer :) Probably over English Channel :)

Answer is:

Supermarine 361 Spitfire LF.Mk.IXC (MJ329) Royal Air Force

Photographed June 8, 1944, via IWM

"The aircraft was built by Vickers-Armstrong at Castle Bromwich and fitted with an 1,580 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 66 twelve-cylinder supercharged liquid-cooled Vee-engine. It was delivered to the RAF on October 23, 1943, and scrapped four years later, on October 13, 1947.

 

Flown by Squadron Leader James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, the aircraft is pictured carrying two barrels of beer to be delivered to the men under Johnson's command on the day after D-Day, the invasion of Normandy. Johnnie Johnson became the highest scoring Allied ace in Europe during WWII, with 38 victories. He left the RAF in the rank of Air Vice-Marshal in 1966, and died January 30, 2001 at the age of 85."

I love to drink beer so such thing like barrels instead rockets/bombs aren't strange to me ;)

Guys, we are not going to start asking questions like: which aircraft are these bolts and nuts from? Are we? :P

 

But look topol! If You connect answers from gigz-on and significant You've got correct answer! So it was really easy :P

 

gigz-on & significant - first person from both of You which ask the question will be the leader :)

 

gigz-on faster, faster cause he's got very hard riddles :)

And which aircraft are these bolts and nuts from?

 

 

" he's got very hard riddles"

If that was about me then my riddles may be hard but I'm very generous with the hints!

That`s right mate, but it would have been pretty difficult to find the aircraft with so little distinctive details in the pictures. We are lucky that significant knows it, perhaps he`s entered its cockpit. Oh well i hope gigz on won`t ask for some bolt right now :D

 

Edit:

What is this?

OMG. Something made of bolt and nuts? :P
