Identify this Aircraft

[+Fates]

[+streakeagle]

Far too easy. I don't even have to look that one up.

[+Erik]

It's a Fairey Gannet, square folding wings for deployment on aircraft carriers, twin props, and dome under the fuselage. Sub hunter was a defined role.

[+Wrench]

yup, Gannet

 

c'mon! give us something really obsure!!

[+Fates]

Well...Since Erik got it...He gets to bring on the next "Identify This" aircraft.... Make it a good one Erik!

[+Erik]

 

Here's the next one then.

Okay the Top one is not the Sub Hunter thats the AEW-3 Variant... in Ferry configuration as when they worked from the ship as AEW they only carried the drop tank on the left side if I remember correctly...

 

and number 2

 

Supermarine Type 508 as has been stated...

god damn looks so similar!

[Slartibartfast]

Well the 508 was a modification of the Scimitar...

[Gunrunner]

Craig, it should be your turn to submit one... well, guess I'll fill the gap in the meantime... and I propose :

 

[Derk]

Hurel Dubois HD 34. One still visible at Google Earth at Creil AB in N. France....

 

And as fror the Scimitar: is was a development of (among others) the Supermarine type 508........

Close... The one in the picture is in fact a HD.321 used during the Suez Crisis and the War in Algeria, you can distinguish it from earlier HD.31 and HD.32 by it's single large tail instead of a twin tail and from the later HD.34 thank to it's shorter nose, nose wheel at the front, compared to the longer glass nose of the HD.34 with its nose wheel further back.

Sorry for the delay, not had a chance to get to my machine all day. Also don't know if this one is as obscure as I think it is, was new to me last week though :P

[Gunrunner]

Well, since no one else seems to play... I'll say, Able Mable, maybe ? Not sure though.

I don't like them. They wet their nests.

[Gunrunner]

Well, since no one seems motivated... in the meantime I'll leave that here :
