Thanks admin
I will try another one. Any ideas?

Certainly not a 'one off' but it is restored hence the Bell UH1 in the background!

It looks like a commandeered Swordfish! (with the centre hole covered over).
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

It's not an Arado 64a is it?

No not an Arado.
Clue.
It is not at all what you expect it to be!

No
Its not that old and I don't think the 504, or any of its derivatives, ever had sweep back on its wings. Thats a hint.

Good try Eric

You know that beautiful streamlined light bomber that was faster than the RAFs then best fighter, the Bristol Bulldog?
This is what you get when you put a Bristol Pegasus radial on the front of a Hawker Hart -yuk!
They also had to increase the area of the fin.

Only for the Swedes but they liked it enough to build it under licence.

Just as a follow on, that Swedish Hart would have had 9 of these in it.

An exhaust valve and a piston gudgeon pin from a Bristol Pegasus.

My Dad collected bits as well!

Oh well never mind!
McDonnel 119/220.
A interesting plane none the less as it was the last McDonnel built (1959) before their merger with Douglas.
The two model numbers are a bit of a misnomer as they actually refer to the same aircraft as only the prototype was ever built.
Unique at the time as a business jet having 4 turbojets slung under the wings but the low ground clearance meant special square intakes were required to reduce the likelihood of the engines sucking foreign objects off the runway.
It still exists.

How many of these can you identify - without using the pause button!
Don't waste space trying to list them all on here!
