Well Blackwolf, that’s positively friendly of you, picking this particular plane[:D] Check your mailbox for the answer [swg]
Yes! The best plane ever…![:D]
Finally think you got one that I can identify! (I hope)
Hmmm… I’m going to need a bit of research on this one, but it’s definetly easier than the last one!!!
Is it just me or, because of the angle at which this was taken, it looks like it’s flying over the deathstar? [:D]
OK I’ve been away for awhile… hopefully I can nail this one.
I know what it is and I know what it is and I know what it is and…[:p]
Thanks for the difficult quizes man! I love the chalenge![bow]
Yes, this one is definately a tad less frustrating than the last one, I’d say.
We’ve had five replies so far, with four being totally correct. One of them is only half correct; the name was right but the designation was not.
Krax, I was certain you’d know this one. Dunno why, though… [:p]
Fade to Black…
I’m totally mindboggled too. Have gotten used to striking out on the latest quizzes, so I’m not sure what’s different on this one, but it seems to agree with me[:D][:D][swg]
Fox 1…
Thanks for taking it easy on us this time. Guy in our club built this kit in 1/72. I even found the pic you used in my search.
That one was not all that hard. I remember seeing one many years ago in the UK. It had come over for an air show.
I have a rather large book which contains (just about) all of the worlds military aircraft from pre WW1 to the modern times and there it was with all its details.

Wish I could see it. For some reason my machine refuses to load it.
Must be a Spitfire or a Mustang if everyone is getting it.
Hey Steve-O, did you get my guess? I don’t see and update in the number of replies.
I got it!!![:D]
Phil,
Yep, got it. I just hadn’t updated is all.
BTW, to the fella who made the re-guess, you were okay to begin with!
I’ll accept either the designation, or the name or both. But the ‘½’ is on account of someone giving the right name with the wrong designation. The designation given was that of a totally different aircraft, although I suspect it may have been a typo…
Fade to Black…
I know!! An F-86 hit an F-84G, crashed, and the Sov’s stitched them together! [:D][:D]
Talking of things stiched together. What about the B17G nose attched to the pointy end of a B24J?
Anyone know the serial number and colours?

Okay, I Concede… I’ve been “googling” for the last 2 hours and i STILL haven’t found anything! Another blow to my ego, steve! [;)]
Unless you want to give us a clue… [:D]
Alrighty, thought yous-guyz could use a fairly easy one after the Gull, although I didn’t know it would be this easy! [;)] (No slight to you, Shrikes!)
We had a total of 10 replies with 9½ being correct. I’ll list all 10, however, as I suspect the one ‘half-wrong’ answer may have been a typo…

The answer:
Fokker S-14 Machtrainer
(The ‘half-wrong’ reply was S-13 Machtrainer. The S-13 was a different aircraft but, as I said, this may have been a typo so I’m letting it go. But just this once! LOL)
This was the Netherlands’ one and only indigenous jet trainer to see service, albeit in very small numbers. There’s a few pages out there with rather limited info on this jet, just do a search on Fokker S-14 Machtrainer, Machtrainer or some such variations.
I’ll post the next quiz later tonight or perhaps tomorrow (Tuesday).
Fade to Black…
ACK! I knew something was wrong! I came across a page listing serial numbers of all the Netherlands Airforce aircraft, and i bypassed it because i confused it with one of Fokker’s WWI creations!! [banghead]
