OK, how about this one? Sorry about the size.

Carvair is correct. We thought some might say the Douglas DC-7C since the tail of the Carvair is often thought to be from the DC-7C.

Which airplane is this from?

Mystery #12

Damn, you readers are good. But no, we didn’t take the photo. We also thought you might have guessed the Comet, from which the Caravelle got its cockpit.

Update, Feb. 10: Looks like we stumped you on the Mystery Photo above. (We’ll take our victories where we can.)

This is a Soviet K-7 bomber designed before WW II. Never went into production.

 

While you are trying to figure out the above, below is another graveyard video for you.

Not mystery photo, just entertainment, below.

Mystery 10

OK, have at it.

Update, Feb. 3: Well for the first time we stumped readers, though Normand Hamel was 90% correct. This is the Jetcraft Mystery Jet, an attempt to make a business jet out of the Vampire. Michel Merluzeau of G2 Solutions gets credit for bringing this one to us.

Our eagle-eye readers are sure to get this one. What airplane is this?

UWE got it correct. It’s the Boeing 314 replica at the Foynes Flying Boat Museum.

We were there last week on our European trip, including a stop in Dublin. Foynes is a three hour drive west.
