Guess the Aircraft (Plane)

[Nym]

C-130 Hercules? Although it looks boeingey so could be a C17

 

[SwindonPkwy]

I don't think it is a C17, the cockpit would be more modern. Flat screens etc.
Also, it's not a C130, the windows don't look right.

A squadron near Lincoln?

 

[Schnellzug]

E-3 Sentry?

 

[deltic1989]

E-3 Sentry?

Thats the one its an E3-D Sentry. Operated from RAF Waddington.

 

[Schnellzug]

thank you. i thought it looked like some derivation of 707.

open floor (which is not something you want in an aeroplane).

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Over to you Schnellzug.

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Here's one for you.

 

[WestCoast]

An Aérospatiale Nord 262?

...and Damned Air (as they were affectionately known) no less!

 

[Nym]

Nord 262A Operated by Dan-Air London

EDIT: When you can just type the reg into google, it's no fun

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Over to you westcoast. Maybe we need to obscure the registrations.

 

[WestCoast]

Here we go then....

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Handley Page Herald.

 

[WestCoast]

Handley Page Herald.

No, sorry.

I'm realising now just how little I know outside of modern boeing, airbus and military aircaft

A challenge is always good though? I'll give you a clue, English speakers often seem to laugh at this aircraft manufacturer's name. The type was operated by at least 4 or so UK based airlines.

It has to be the Fokker F27. An early one, judging by the engines.

Spot on, over to you.

 

[Nym]

Hehe, Fokker...

 

[SwindonPkwy]

This is quite an obscure one.

 

[WestCoast]

Hehe, Fokker...

I was on a KLM Fokker 70 last year from Liverpool to Amsterdam and the captain said "welcome aboard this Fokker flight", and half the plane was sniggering! Amazing....

A Riley Turbo Skyliner derived from a de Havilland Heron?

 

[SwindonPkwy]

That is correct. Over to you.

 

[WestCoast]

Here we go...be careful with this one!

 

[SwindonPkwy]

I have to choose between Fokker F28, F70 or F100.

It looks like an Austrian Airlines Fokker F70.

 

[WestCoast]

I have to choose between Fokker F28, F70 or F100.

Yes. I'll give you that one as they all look very similar...

As you can probably tell I like the Fokker range. Over to you.

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Here goes. Another head on view from North America. Or is it?

This aircraft shares a name with one of the industry's giants.

 

[Schnellzug]

Looks a bit like a Convair 240?

 

[ainsworth74]

[SwindonPkwy]

Sorry, not a Convair 240.

The answer is Martin 404.

I will leave an open floor.
