topol-m Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) It`s not Avro Lancaster or Manchester or Mosquito. And about your question - of the 3 planes you`ve given just the last one is real, of the others not a single prototype has been built. So the last one is Hawker-Hillson F.40 a.k.a FH.40. The upper wing they added - not a good idea :( , the programme was terminated due to poor performance. The first one is some fictional prototype based on the Lancaster. The second one also is probably some project based on De Haviland DH9 Mosquito - again not a single one built AFAIK (I know the picture looks real but it`s Photoshop). Satisfied? :D It was a little bit unfair to ask about projects existent only on paper ;) Now the first clue for my question - the development of the aircraft started in the second half of the 1940s and it made its first flight in the first half of the 1950s.

zakobi Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 well, we better stop aobut the aircrafts in the link and get back to the quiz.
topol-m Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I don`t want to win with this question so I`m giving you the next clue - this is a trainer aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Come on, guys i don`t know what more can I tell you. The prototype and the serial built planes were all using Rolls-Royce engine. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 we are ignoring you... you don't exist... it's all a dream...
topol-m Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 ^^^ :D No, I`m real so is the question. Come on guys, really last clue - it`s an european trainer aircraft :doh: I`ll be amazed if you can`t guess it with so many hints. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jpm1 Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 ^^^ :D ... it`s an european trainer aircraft :doh: RR engines we already knew that :smilewink: it's very likely a british plane SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 RR engines we already knew that :smilewink: it's very likely a british plane A lot of non european countries are making trainer aircraft and do not manufacture their own engines but use ones from the biggest companies producers of engines (RR, GE, P&W, etc.). So it`s still a clue. But as things are going I might give you even more hints. I`m not going to win with this question. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

So it`s still a clue. But as things are going I might give you even more hints. I`m not going to win with this question. you're right but you said it was developed in the 30s and made it's first flight in the 40s , i don't see myself european countries using british engines while being occupied SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 you're right but you said it was developed in the 30s and made it's first flight in the 40s , i don't see myself european countries using british engines while being occupied Are you sure that`s what I said? :huh: Check out again - i said development in the second half of the 40s and first flight in the first half of the 50s. It looks very like a Saab 105? No. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) This aircraft has already been asked in a question in this thread. :doh: Jesus, if you don`t guess it now i`m going out on the street and I`m shooting myself in the head :yes: Edit: Of this aircraft almost 2 dozens have been produced.

IvanK Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Vampire .... though standard cockpit finish was black , so next guess would be Jet Provost
topol-m Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 The gun jammed. More clues - it uses a single jet engine and entered service in 1955. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Namenlos Ein Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 TELL US Lexx: “As you request, Stan.” This is Fokker S.14 Machtrainer cockpit. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled-(Aviation-Theme/Fokker-S.14-Machtrainer/0932107/L/ We definitely running out of planes.
