    Well, here’s a new one to add to the list. No cheating (it’s a wiki image).

    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.

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

    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.

    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 **** 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.

    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…

    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
