Guess the plane

[SemperAugustus]

This one might be tricky

[Neilster]

It's a FW 190D. You can tell by the long nose with the annular radiator for the inline, liquid cooled Jumo 213 engine. [:'(]

Cheers, Neilster

[SemperAugustus]

I could say close. But no...

[SemperAugustus]

No takers, or you need more time?

[jchastain]

Sorry, from that photo I can't even guess the nationality.  [;)]

[SemperAugustus]

Ok, if I say the country it will be too easy It isn't from a place famous for aircraft.

Well, how about identifying the hemisphere?

Or maybe the time period?

[SemperAugustus]

It was designed and built in the end of the 1920s in the northern hemisphere.

[SemperAugustus]

Next hint:
it is an Asian design

[rhondabrwn]

Still trying...

No luck...

Did it ever fight in a war?

[SemperAugustus]

It was obsolete by the time the country went to war, so I am pretty sure it is a no on that one.

[rhondabrwn]

I am SO STUMPED on this one!

I'll keep trying, I'm learning all kinds of things about old bi-planes while searching.

There aren't many Asian countries to choose between. I can say it is not Japan. It should limit your choices futher

I had already ruled out Japan, but haven't been able to find any Chinese, Korean, Thai, or Indian designs yet. Could this be a plane from the Royal Micronesian Air Corps? [:D]

[SemperAugustus]

It is from one the countries you listed. Not sure if it helps much though

[JudgeDredd]

Indian

[rhondabrwn]

Was this plane actually designed and built by this country? Or was it an import or modification of an European design?

[SemperAugustus]

It was designed and built in the country in question

[rhondabrwn]

Well, I have to say that you've managed to stump the community for longer than any other post in this forum.

Congratulations! [&o][&o][&o]

Still trying though....

Got it!

Prachatipok ( B.K.5/TO.1 )

In 1929, Lieutenant Colonel Luang Neramit Baijayonta designed a single - seat fighter, which was named "Prachatipok" after His Majesty King Prachatipok (Rama VII). It was the second Thai designed and built aircraft and the first Thai designed and built fighter, now called Fighter Type 5.

I think this deserves a bottle of Champagne, cracked across my thick skull for spending so much time running this down! [:D][:D][:D]
