Ascender! Not the prettiest plane ever to grace the skies! 

[Bibs]

[Gjk]

Is this another French one? 

[Bibs]

German this time. 

[Bravo73]

Fieseler Storch?

[Bibs]

No, it's the ME 163 Komet. 

[Gjk]

Fair play @Bibs, I would have never got that one. It does look like a replacement instrument panel though!

[Bibs]

It was a very short lived aircraft. A google does show that is how they came though but it does look like it's newer than everything else and there should be more instruments.

If Mrs V8 had an aircraft this would be it...short and dumpy but not to be messed with🫣

[Alfa2Evora]

SAAB J29 Tunnan

This example from the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight visited the airshow at Prestwick a few years back - they fly better than they look apparently.

Sure is pointy. Bristol 188, watched the Dark Skies video about it a couple of weeks ago.

 

[ChrisJ]

What's going on here then ?

 

[Bibs]

First UK to Australia aircraft?

[exeterjeep]

easy one.

[Bibs]

It is! I've sat in one of those too, a very solemn and moving experience. 

Fun fact, anyone know why the yoke is round and not a stick? 

 

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Hawker Hurricane.

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Try this one.

 

[exeterjeep]

Hercules?   loads of glass?

Previous  was spitfire.

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

OK I thought Spitfire was too easy!
 

No, not a Hercules.

[ChrisJ]

My one was a pre-WW1 stunt modified Grade Eindecker

Grade Eindecker

searched for that as it was the name of the attachment, but nothing came up looking like the pic.
