What is this?

Sherif Sharmy Autor
What is the model of this aircraft?

Hi Sherif,
as per my info Royal Egyptian Air Force was equipped with Hurricanes, P-40s and Spitfires in the beginning, but none of those I found had such a tail. That's something for the "winged" specialists.

Steffen Arndt
i'd say it is Italian .. first thought G.55 but does not fit

Jamie Anderson
Hi sherif I would say a spitfire not certain though could it be a piece of war booty maybe me-109

Urban Gardini
North American T-6 Texan

Stefan Schneider
I checked a lot of the types mentioned here but no match. Maybe you can check too.

I bet it´s an North American T-6 Texan, the "near to a triangle" shaped fin is tell-talling.
Urban is right 🙂

Christian Keller
I think, AT-6 Texan is correct.

Must say that my money is on the 'buzz-saw' (sorry. Texan/Harvard). Too many years with B-17 Preservation for me to think it's anything else (except, perhaps a Wirraway!).*)

Stefan Schneider
I think AT-6 Texan is correct.

Sherif Sharmy Autor
Correct

Glenn
It would be an Harvard. Mmm Wirraway.... NoWay! Australia never exported them, We needed all the fighters we had to protect our own country. But the Wirraway was based on the B-17/AT-6 design. So the tail looks the same.

Derek Huggett
@Glenn - Sorry, the Wirraway comment was just me shooting the breeze! You are quite correct about your countries hour of need...didn't bits of Wirraway design go into that smashing little 'full-sized weekend build' the CAC Boomerang? Enough..I digress!!!👍

Glenn
Yes Derek, I think the Boomerang wing was based on the Wirraway wing, A friend of mine has a Boomerang (in pieces) stored in his garage. He also has a rebuilt Wirraway on display (I think it's still at RAAF Point Cook?) I'm sure if i asked him about this i get a 2 or 3 hour explanation!!!! I think a Wirraway shot down a Zero over near PNG? at some stage too! 🙂
