Gemma Jane Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 XB-28 correct, I think that thing looks more like a Skoda than a SAAB Ben, Skoda-Kauba V-6 where on earth did you dig that one up from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Taylor Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ach, dis is der grosse luft-bomber! Looks like a Willy to me Willy Messerschmitt that is... I think this is correctly called a ME264, not BF. AliT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 AlistairT Quite right about the I.Ae. 24 Calquin and it would have looked and performed even more like a Mossie with the intended Merlins but we wouldn't supply them! Perhaps the Argentinians never really forgave us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Taylor Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Huzzah! Simon - sorry for not mentioning the Jupiter - I went for Bristol radials as a catch-all, as I known they made quite a cornucopiia of corn-cobs (now there's mixing your metalphors).

Gemma Jane Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Blériot 125 P designator later became "F" so the P51 D became the F51 D etc Phil, hence why you have it listed as F35A which is identical to a P35A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Brooks Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hidustan HT-2. I think Simon has a copy of Green and Pollinger's Worlds Fighting Planes, I recognised the photo of the Calqui as well. Published 1954, my own copy much thumbed when a lad, just occasionally dipped into these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
