Another installment of.........."NAME THOSE REMAINS'

[hairy]

Just for fun, name these remains...........


Setter and Dave Homewood are precluded as they were there when the photo was taken.

P.s the IMG tag is incorrect

Hi Hairy--

Based on what looks like a bolted-up tube core, plus the shape of the windscreen frame and the fact that the engine bearers are plainly for an inline...I think this is either a Typhoon or a Tempest V/VI...cool.

Battle ?

Dave

[Cees Broere]

Yes, definately a Fairey Battle

I think I have seen a photo in Classic Wings of this once.

Covers blown....that might have been where I saw it too....

...and the fact that the engine bearers are plainly for an inline...I think this is either a Typhoon or a Tempest V/VI...

Napier Sabre had a horizontally opposed sleeve valve H configuration.

And the winner is............(drum roll, please)...................DaveM2.

It is the Fairey Battle remains at the Subritzky family collection.

"darn I knew I should have precluded Dave, he knows too much." muttered Hairy as scuttled off into the scrub.

[Steve T]

A Battle! That's just as cool...(BTW by "an inline" I meant "not a radial"...but on reflection the mount for a huge double-boxer engine would be a different shape again). Where'd the Subritzkys find this one? Jack Arnold here in Ontario had a similar chunk of Battle about 30 years ago. Have long wondered where it went. This isn't it by chance?
