The Mystery Aeroplane Quiz With No Pictures

[Airbedane]

American?

Too much flying - yes there is such a thing, but last night's statement was a bit of an exageration - it was the paperwork that went with it that took the time!)

[BEagle]

Turbine powered - no.

American? Not from the US of A!

Know what you mean about too much paperwork, chum!

[Tim Inder]

Are you a post-war design?

[BEagle]

The British design which inspired my designer was indeed from WW2. But I didn't fly until after WW2......

[Bre901]

Are you jet-propelled ?

[BEagle]

Nope................................

[Tim Inder]

Since you're a military type, was your primary role agressive? (i.e. fighter/attack/bomber)

[BEagle]

I was indeed agressive!

[Bre901]

Are you European ? (I mean continental, of course)

[Tim Inder]

Are you an Eastern Bloc product then?

[BEagle]

I am neither a Continental European nor an Eastern Bloc product.......

[Tim Inder]

Blimey, this is tricky!
Are you the product of an African nation then?

[Bre901]

Or maybe South America?
Or 'Orstraylya ?

[Aerohack]

Are you the Argentinian I.A.E.24 Calquin (Royal Eagle) attack bomber, first flown in June 1946? Mosquito-like, and originally intended for Merlin power, but P&W radial engined, and no relation.

[BEagle]

Si, Senor! Yo soy el Calquin!

Well done - not an easy one.

For disbelievers, have a look at http://reporteaereomundial.com.ar/hi...storias07.html

Sorry - it's in Spanish, but there are some piccies of the Calquin there.

[Aerohack]

Easy one then. I was strictly single-entry, and my numbers didn't add up.

[seacue]

Did you have four piston engines?

[I mean four engines w/ pistons, not engines w/ 4 pistons.]

[Aerohack]

Not four, and not pistons.

[Bre901]

Two jets then ?

[Aerohack]

Two yes, jets no.
