    An EKW C-36? A Swiss multi-purpose combat aircraft of the 1930s and 40s? It's got the single-engined monoplane and two crew.

    It's hard to see, it could be the derivative F+W C-3605, nicknamed Schlepp, operated by the Swiss Air Force from 1971–1987, but it doesn't have the Flying Zebra Crossing painting of the target tug.

    Took a little longer than I thought...

    You see, just that morning, PzJgr had started a thread about the P-51D "Geraldine" being for sale. Just for giggles, I went looking through the parent website "Platinum Fighter Sales" to see what else they had to offer. Lo and behold they had this up for sale:
    1944 EKW C-3603 s/n 327 D-FRBI
    http://www.platinumfighters.com/#!c-36/c1w75
    IIRC, Owen's plane is s/n 317.

    It appears to be a wrecked SAAB J-29 "Tunnan"

    Agree...the "barrel" fighter was designed by the Swedes...but was a close design of what the Germans planned...

    CNN wouldn't do well in this thread. Robin Meade just ran a story about the Blue Angels flying again after a year off and ran a clip of the Thunderbirds in their F-16s

    No cheating now. If you open the image in a new window, the url will tell you what it is, and thus what it was for...

    Nope. Cornwall. Yep on it being a Beaufort, but you "failed" by not saying Beaufort Mark 1. (Plus YOU are supposed to put in the next entry...)
