No, it is a CA-15 - a completely different, larger fighter which was developed independently which just happened to end up looking similar to the Mustang.

Having identified your's, now some more from me:

No.6 - BAE Trident or Boeing 727 in Chinese service.
Thats the ppiont of the picture, make a choice
No.7 - P.51A Mustang or A36 Apache in RAF Markings
Correct, except it was neither P-51A or A-36 until USAAF got them, at this point it was still the Mustang Mk1, but you are correct
No.8 - Aermacchi MB-326k
Sorry, wrong answer
No.9 - Myasischev M-55
Not the M-55, take another guess?
No.10 - Bristol 188 research aircraft
Well done, absolutely correct

Good pics from you too BTW, I'm going to have a little think and post my answers in a bit

Edit; On second thoughts I'm going to give you the M-55, although it is the single engined M-17 you cannot tell from the photo so its yours

1 is a Brewster Buccaneer

2 Is the one thats got me wracking my brains, all I can think of is the modified XFR-2 Darkshark version of the Ryan Fireball, so I'll go for that.

3 Is the Leduc 010.

Any guesses for pics 2 to 4 on my previous selection? I'll post the answers in three or four hours from now if no-one can get them and then we can move on to some more, still one or two of the second selection to be correctly identified don't forget as well as that middle picture above

Darkshark it is.

Excellent!

I thought I had answered those, already.

There is a selection of pics on page 2 of the thread of which only the top one, the Saab J-29, has been guessed correctly so far, you might like to have a go at them.

Saab J-29 Tunnan


Convair YB-60


Bristol Brigand


Fairey Delta 2 (Tinkerbell triangle, geddit?)


Curtiss XF15C

The older types do seem to be too much of a challenge so more modern ones are promised in future

Aircraft picture quiz - Modern day selection.

Its much harder to be challenging with latter say stuff so I don't how many more of these there will be. "Hurrah!"=everybody

[edit on 10-1-2005 by IAF101]

The Piaggio P-180, Gulstream Peregrine 600 and the Bell 609 are correct

Just two to get.

I think the Last pic is a RAFAEL
And as for the other no idea! It has to be a trainer, is it the Yak-130 ??
Any Hints?

[edit on 10-1-2005 by IAF101]

yeah rafale or Lavi maybe???...the background looks too green for Israel though!!

Well done again IAF101, it is indeed a Yak 130

The last one is giving you all problems though, maybe a hint would be to figure which country uses the registration system you can see on the fin?

It doesn't look as if anyone is going to get the last one so I'll reveal the answer and get on with the next selection, incidentally I'm perfectly happy to be challenged in return as with the earlier pages.

No 5 was the British Aerospace EAP.


The new selections are;

1. They also make cars...., sounds fishy...
Yes you got this right, the SAAB J-29 Tunnan
2. Can't think of one for the company...but like the band UB-40, but change a letter, and one number.
Don't understand the clue
3. A creamy bandit
not sure, but I can make this fit with the name, is 'creamy' slightly rude?
4. Alexander Graham ____, Oh my, got a few A's on my report card
I think you've got this one wrong, "Tinkerbell Triangle" is a straight forward clue, you'll groan when you find out!
5. Morpheus as Cowboy _______, numbered like an eagle
I don't get the first bit but 'numbered like an Eagle' is spot on

A little late here...

2. It's a YB-60 (change the U to a Y, and the 4 to a 6)
3. Bristol (like the creme) Brigand (bandit)
4. Bell OH 4-A (or at least a modified version of it) 206 JetRanger?
5. Curtiss (as in Lawrence Fishburn (Morpheus) played Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee's Playhouse) and XF15C-1

It looks like you were well on course then except for this little mystery

4. Bell OH 4-A (or at least a modified version of it) 206 JetRanger?

What picture were you seeing? These are both helicopters while the pic I posted was a supersonic jet

I couldn't see the image, so I had to try and find where it was going...and I somehow ended up seeing a chopper, hehe... I see the right one now (I think), and now I completely get your clue...Fairey Delta Two....

Damn it, I've seen those pics before, I just don't know their NAMES!!!. NOOOO!!!!

Shattered OUT...

And I was trying to help you by leaving out the old stuff!

I'll leave these on till about 6pm tomorrow (10.22 pm here now) then I;ll reveal the answers and try to find some more.

I know the last one is a Jaggen.
