Out of a game or something Derek?

Need a better piccie than that though mate...... need to be able see it a bit bigger than thumbilina size!!

Pic won't expand DK :dunno:

 

[R2B2]

Ok, just to barge in on DnD's thread - what's this anybody.....

 

[derek kelly]

Tried enlarging it but it is getting fuzzy (not a brilliant picture)

No it's not from a game.

Rob... at first glance it looks like a modified F27 for maritime work... ned to lok a little closer.

Nope.. not F27.....wait one..

I recognise those engines....... knew I recognised the engines...same as on the ATP

And it's Austrian...

 

[Duck n Dive]

OK Rob.... I reckon it's a development/variant of the Antonov AN-26..... Ukrainian Air Force?

I'm still working on it though 'cause those engines are making me think..... the style etc of the rest of the airframe certainly looks AN...

With thanks to D&D for the clue....

An-32 water bomber type thingy. You can tell because of the extra sponson tanks.

A lot of the old Warsaw pact aircraft had the overwing engine configuration because it gave (gives) good rough field STOL prformance.

 

[R2B2]

Bang on SG! :bow:

It is indeed an AN-32 Firebuster. Here's the same pic before I removed the markings.

 

[Duck n Dive]

Well done SG - nice one


Here's another photo....

 

[R2B2]

Is this familiar to you guys?

 

[Aidey]

Yep, its an F101 Voodoo

 

[R2B2]

Yup!

Too easy eh Aidey! Looks like I need to find something a little more unusual.....

 

[dhekalia]

D&D re your much earlier pics, what are these aircraft doing and how do you know? well what are they doing? and did you take the pictures?
