That'll be the Martin B10 ?

Here's one I took last year (in colour so it must be a new picture ! ).

If I'm correct ...could be a sub variant...I'll pose a suitable shot tommorrow.

Well done Gary. It is indeed a B10 - 'B' to be exact. Ugly little bugger.

Over to you for the next question

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here, Gary, but thought I might throw this in before I forget. What is this tail section from? For something different, provide photographic evidence to support your answer (if you want!).

Sigh, okay, so it's not hard! A tail section found by a mate of mine recently. Believe it or not, the RAAF Museum knocked back its donation as it has enough Hudson bits to make a whole one!

The door and window openings suggested it was an aircraft originally intended as a passenger-carrier. The give-away was the aperture in the roof at the rear end of the cabin, where a Hudson's gun turret was. Add to that an oval-section fuselage and a blanked-off rear fuselage i.e. no tail turret, and I became fairly certain.

OK, new question.

Which RFC officer had the nickname "arsy-glassy"? And why?

Can I ask one without knowing the answer to the one before ??

Does anybody know why the WWII F4-U Corsair had bent wings ?
