Yes - your turn!

 

Yahooooo!

Here you go:

 

Looks very much like the Focke Wulf Ta183 to me...

 

Correct! :lol:

 

try this:
and for a extra point, what engine?

 

A Comproni Campini CC.2 with:

"1 Camprini mono-reactor (750 kg/s) with 1 Isotta-Fraschini L-121 MC40 Asso liquid cooled 12 V Cylinders engine (900 CV)"

According to www.tgplanes.com, which has a pretty good forum too, and a pretty good moderator for that forum... :lol:

that was a fast answer!!!!!
was the first italian "jet", but not a true jet,since it used a piston engine to drive a 3 stage variable pitch fan, propelling air out of a variable area nozzle at the rear of the jet pipe, where fuel was injected to raise the thrust, but remanined only a prototype
and according to my sources is a caprioni campini

 

Quick one

For a short time near the start of the war three aircraft of what type famously represented Maltas entire fighter defence?

 

are you refering to fate,hope and (do not remember the third one)?

 

Faith, Hope and Glory, what type were they?

 

Glouster Gladiators.

 

Faith, Hope & Charity, surely?

Sea Gladiators, with 3-bladed metal props from a Blenhiem for added performance, IIRC.

 

Whoops my bad on the name. Still I managed to catch one person out on the type. As you say they were Sea Gladiators that somewhere along the line had been left behind by the FAA

 

Name the spotter plane type used by the British at the Battle of the River Plate.

 

Supermarine Walrus?

 

Nope

 

Fairey Sea-fox?

 

Not the venerable Swordfish?

 

Just checked and according to the Enclyclopedia of Military Aircraft it was indeed a Fairey Seafox.

 

Well, if you're going to start doing research instead of making wild guesses, I might as well give up now!
