Gosh, I didn't think Japan at all! No wonder I was not having any luck in Eastern Europe.

Good one Jim.

Thanks both ! Here's a neat bipe ...

**cthornburg** · October 12th, 2020, 16:23

Polikarpov R-5

That's the one

. Over to you !

**cthornburg** · October 13th, 2020, 07:08

Have fun with this one.

Chris

An Il-2 Sturmovik? It's hard to tell with the detail being so obscured.

**cthornburg** · October 13th, 2020, 10:22

No not close.

Chris

**Dev One** · October 13th, 2020, 12:41

Il 16, a high speed development of the legendary Il 2?

**cthornburg** · October 13th, 2020, 15:22

Not even close. The quality will be explained with the reveal.

A modified aircraft of some sort to represent a Japanese warbird in a movie?

**cthornburg** · October 13th, 2020, 23:16

Nothing to do with movies

Chris

**cthornburg** · October 14th, 2020, 06:20

Not from Russia

Chris

**giruXX** · October 14th, 2020, 07:02

I wonder if that engine were a turbo-prop

***Moses03*** · October 14th, 2020, 07:19

I was thinking a Daimler-Benz 600 series tucked in there.

**pomme homme** · October 14th, 2020, 07:24

Chinese, perhaps?

**westview** · October 14th, 2020, 08:16

Italian maybe?

**cthornburg** · October 14th, 2020, 10:09

Not China, or Italy

Chris

**pomme homme** · October 14th, 2020, 11:08

I think that we have a consensus. We haven't a clue what it is!

**cthornburg** · October 14th, 2020, 11:48

Ok will reveal early. It might be flown by Kim Ill Song (mispelled on purpose). Taken from a video from the 70s from a book on their armed forces. So only know the country and called an assault aircraft. Now you know as much as I on it. I not sure but might have seen one here before from there or maybe this is the first. Open House

Chris

**Sopwith Chameleon** · October 14th, 2020, 12:10

I think it might an Ilyushin IL 10 - they received 50 from the then Soviet Union in the late 1940's

**cthornburg** · October 14th, 2020, 14:58

I assume this is a Frankenstein aircraft. Bit's and pieces of different aircraft. The gear retracts outward so wing not from Il-10.
On doing a little research the wheels could be Il-10 and retract backwards.

Here is a sporty post-war number.

(Speaking of post-war, where is Walter these days?)

The same thought had occurred to me. Thus I did a little sleuthing. Walter has been conspicuous by his absence since 4 September. Carlo has been absent for even longer. His last appearance here was on 31 May.

**lefty** · October 15th, 2020, 14:41

I e-mailed Carlo back in July, enquiring after his health. Sadly, to date there has been no reply.

As for Walter, we have been indulging in a lot of older machinery recently, so maybe he is lying low.....

**pomme homme** · October 16th, 2020, 02:44

Do we yet know what is the subject of Chris' photograph and why it is so hazy?
