Sounds like the Sopwith Dolphin. Thanks; Ernie P.


The Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin was a British fighter aircraft manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company. It was used by the Royal Flying Corps and its successor, the Royal Air Force, during the First World War. The Dolphin entered service on the Western Front in early 1918 and proved to be a formidable fighter. The aircraft was not retained in the postwar inventory, however, and was retired shortly after the war.

Absolutely right. :)

Well done, sir!

You're up. :)

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz
 

Thank you, Sir. Let's see if this question proves to be challenging. In all honesty, the first question should give it away. Thanks; Ernie P.


Question: What warbird do I describe?

Clues:

(1) This aircraft was intended as a supplement for obsolete or outmoded aircraft; not as a replacement for them.

RE: Knowledge Quiz for Warbird wiz
 

Sorry to be a bit picky - The Dolphin had a "V" Type engine - not inline...

Reeaaally sorry to be picky, but you're talking about an inline vee engine. Sorry, could'nt resist once you started the accuracy stickling...

Best Regards to you and yours,

Many Thanks,

I think the error is mine: I was referring to the "V-8" engine used in the Dolphin as an inline engine, which may have been misleading.

Apparently (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_engine ) the use of "inline" in general refers to an engine with a single bank of cylinders in line. In aviation use specifically, it refers to engines with one or more banks of cylinders inline, as opposed to a rotary or radial engine.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I see your F/A-18F and suggest the F-35 [:-] ...or perhaps the King Air 350? :D

For those not following Australian defence matters, this is a bit of an inside joke regarding several projects.

No correct answers, and nothing really close. Interesting, and very polite, but not close. Thanks; Ernie P.
