Quiz What aircraft is this?

[IronFootedBstrd]

Just wondering how difficult you guys will find THIS question....

What aircraft?

 

[TankBuster]

i can guess that the manufacturer was farman?

 

[Bombardier]

I do believe that they are VICKERS VILDEBEEST

 

[Bundu Basher]

I think you are spot on Bomby!

Always wanted to know whether the famous 'flying coffin' was correctly called a Vildebeest or Wildebeest?

Any takers? Droney et al?

 

[TankBuster]

It was big and bulky and ugly, so a name like Wildabeast fits pretty well....

Nice one Bomb! (not least for finding only the SECOND photo of a Vildebeest I have ever seen on the 'net! The one I posted being the 1st, not that I found it...an aircraft nut friend of mine did).

My Dad was an AC2 Armourer working on these in Singapore (yes, in '41..)

I was pretty sure even a rarity like this wouldnt have you scratching your heads for long!
