I though for a moment you had a "rocking" Mustang there...


...it looks very much like Dave Gilmour's* old example, but isn't!


*Mr Pink Floyd

Nice shots!

I'll probably get ridiculed for this question, but what is the aircraft in the first shot?  I recognize it but I can't place it.  Its a really nice photo though.

I also really like the Mustang pic!

Gosh, I think the light reflecting off the fuselage made it look bigger than that...but now that I think about it it is obvious.  I have never seen one in that livery before though...but I love the pre-war symbols and polished exterior.  Although, since it is a military variant...wouldn't it technically be a C-47?

C-47 Skytrain "Bluebonnet Belle". http://www.highlandlakessquadron.com/c_47.html

More to the point, can you recognise #2?

Looks like a grown up twin engined Mmmmmiles Messenger... Certainly a Messengeresque colour scheme. A bit of a Beech to identify though...

Almost looks like a Hudson to me.

Almost but not quite. Beech D18S/C-45 "Expeditor"

One day I'll catch you out.

I just noticed this, there is a grasshopper in the second shot, on the plane.

He'd probably noticed. I suspect he was lost...
