[Closed] Remember the old "ID this warbird" thread?

Hampdon?

What he said ^ Handley Page  Hampden

Nope. It really threw me, too.

It looks like a Hampden air frame, but with inline engines, rather than radials.

Yup... and it has a name.

Bruce? It looks like a Bruce to me.

Handley Page Hereford.

I think Harry has it.

Yes - HP Hamden with different engines. Not a success.

My turn.

Vigilante

North American Vigilante. Too nice looking to not know that one.

Sneaky

that looks like a Vigilante. A5?  Nuclear capable, the nuke was carried in the tail & released via parachute. Or would have been.

Top one looks like the bastard son of a Horsa, Constellation and a Lanc.

second one is the Aerocentre : something something NC?

I thought Connie at the back as well but apparently it’s French (and not really a war bird if we are being strict).

Second one's a ****ing space ship!

Probably a bit too obvious, but a very elegant fighter bomber hamstrung by poor engines.

This isn’t too well known, I have seen one flying, years ago.

Westland Whirlwind and a Grumman F7 Tigercat

Is that the Ilyushin copy of a B29? With hamster cheeks

I can’t edit to add another photo and caption, but the frontal cross-section is pretty minimal...

Is that the Ilyushin copy of a B29? With hamster cheeks

Well, it had its knockers...

I suspect that is just a modified B29 with front mounted cannon.Maybe a pre-cursor to the AC130 gunship?

Just because it's crashed in the desert; I'm going to say a Mk3 Kittyhawk.

and the count's is a F7F Tigercat.

Tom's is the stupidly named Ultra Fortress. (i think they stopped making them when they ran out of superlatives)

The wreck is a P-40.

Somebody has made a model of it

The Whirlwind and Tigercat are too easy.  Tiger cat is one of my all-time favourites.

CountZero - P38? One of my favourites of all time. In a similar vein I've always loved these...

Oh... and this is another awesome photo of the P38

nickc - it's a Sud Aviation Vautour. I had to look it up in the end as all I could remember was that it was French and sold to the Israeli air force (a family friend was involved in it and had a model in his house).

This one is a funny one tho:

That’s a 109. In Israeli clouts. Ironic, really

Avia S 199

Okay, this one should keep you going through the morning coffee. Not all warbirds exactly, NASA planes of the 80s.

That NASA pic reminds me of an anecdote from Adam Savage (ex-mythbusters). He has a youtube video where he talks about looking at the USS Intrepid museum in NY with Chris Hadfield.

He asked him how many of the aircraft on the flight deck he had flown and he said it might be quicker to tell him which ones he hadn't.

Lucky bugger 🙂

Ooh look a cheyane... Very very interesting airplane that...

Whilst we're doing twin props, 51 + 51 = 82.
