Blackburn Roc?
On the bench:
Too much
In the hangar:
Again....too much
Scorpiomikey I never would have gotten that one.
I never would have gotten that one.
I got the idea from your previous glider question
WWW.AIR-CRAFT.NET
lol nice.
No not the Blackburn Roc
Made by the same people who made a famous insect.
Shares a heritage with said insect.
Insect
Myth
Bird (<-------thats the one i want)
"I am a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar"
Recite the litanies, fire up the Gellar field, a poo storm is coming
Check out my blog here.
The myths sister was absolute poison, and both aircrafts big sister was a real fox.
The bird was made from bits of the myth, it held several records in its home country.
Only 3 were built.
scorpiomikey, i guess i'm disqualified?

Mediocraties - my favorite Greek model builder.
You can answer if you want. I know where you got the answer lol.
The insect was a mossie, the myth was a vampire. The connection was parts of the mossie were used in the vampire.
The aircraft im after was built from the fuselage of a vampire.
DH Venom
Ooops! I'm 500 miles from home and the wife's i-Pad seems to have malfunctioned as it only showed the last clue. I have broowed a PC and the answer is the DH108 Swallow
'borrowed' even!!
yes. well done phil. It was originally designed to test a tailless swept wing design for the dh comet.
Over to you phil.
This type was built in 3 countries by 5 different manufacturers and flew for four countries' forces. I'm looking for a type and the specific sub type to which the above refers.
F-104 starfighter, probably the S model
No. The numbers don't tally. This the sub type of this aircraft was involved in some tortuous international politics, which, along with captures, saw it in service on both sides of a conflict.
dc-3, dc-2 - flew with us, japan and russia. at lieast i think it japan had a few, captured or cloned...
The DC2 and DC3 were different aircraft. Both the DC2 and DC3 were used by a far greater number of operators then the number stated in the question.
I'm aware they are different, but very close. Sort of a father/son relationship. worth a shot. actualy, i could not remember if the dc-2 or -3 was what japan copied
Whilst the DST/DC3 was a development of the DC2 and bore a family resemblance, they were very different aircraft. Lusinov built 4937 in the USSR, Showa/Nakajima built 487 in Japan. All the Russian and Japanese aircraft were legitimately built under licences issued in the 1930s and there were many detailed differences to the Douglas built machines. As you can see, the type doesn't fit the clues.
no worries. not disputing that it was a wrong answer. Lyle..
P-36/Hawk 75?
The P-36/Hawk 75 was a contemporary of the type I'm looking for.
PBY ? Built in Canada as the Canso, In USSR as the GST. Built in Canada by Boeing & Vickers. In USA by Consolidated and the US Naval Aircraft Factory. The Sub type would be the Amphibian version
The PBY as flown by 29 airforces/navies. The particular type I'm looking for was ONLY flown by four air forces.
Another clue. The type, of which the subtype I'm looking for was the first variant, had a jingoistic pedigree.
Cavalier Mustang II?
edit: ignore this, just read some of the clues i missed lol.
Lets see if I can't give it a try, is it the Hawker Hurricane Mk I?
Another guess, the Messerschmidt Me109 E
No, but you are in the right area historically, and there are some parallels with the type I'm looking for.
Not sure how this fits the clues
The type was named after both a battle and its reward and thus had tenuous links to a war leader's beginning and end.
The Bristol BLENHEIM, Named for a battle that one of Churchill's ancestors won. As for the clues I'm not sure. But this might help some else.
