JDK's famous pointless quiz. No.721 b. or c.

This one shouldn't last long.

It's American friendly, but not currently in the US. It's a W.W.II era design. On different occasions, I saw this aircraft on opposite sides of the globe though.

It's no longer fulfilling its first, or its second or even its third role, but its fourth.

The type's easy.

Which aircraft it is gets a point (inc registration, serial etc).

Where I saw it (country or place) a and b gets points.

The aircraft's four roles gets points.

Woah, no messing there Mark.

Have a warm feeling.

But you're wrong! ;)

G-PBYA at Duxford beore it's repaint as USAAF OA-10 44-33915?

Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:14 am

Correct! Have a warm feeling.

I saw it Nanaimo, next to CF-NBJ, and later photographed it at Duxford, as seen here.

Mark got the rest correct but I'd add 'display flying and warbird' as it's latest career, in this case.
