Chief_Mouser Posted Sunday at 10:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:48 PM It is indeed a Gloster, and if no-one else comes up with the exact designation (it didn't have a name), you win the biscuit. Here are some more pics. Definitely an odd-looking bird. 2 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath. Live music venue and real ale pub (thebellinnbath.co.uk) I am in the homepage picture... or I would be if they hadn't cropped off the bottom part of it. 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted Monday at 08:45 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:45 AM I'll shove this up to keep the thread going- if someone guesses Mouser's bird's name I'll take it down. A not at all posed picture of a typical airfield scene. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief_Mouser Posted Monday at 02:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:32 PM Another ugly bugger. RAF fin flash with US stars too. Most odd. 1 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath.

The Seamew, a plane sooo bad its predecessor was brought out of retirement to replace it. Another Seamew was conjured up by Shorts in the 1950s for a not dissimilar role and so the name was rescued from ignominy........... ......not. It was also awful .

Props Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago At first glance I thought it might be a Beech D17 Staggerwing due to the 2 blade prop and the diagonal braces in the windshield, but the instrument panel don't look right and neither do the Yokes. Maybe a Spartan? definitely from the period of swanky business radials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
