Not a YAK, but it is European, and was originally built to replace a military type.

Sorry, not Swiss. Just under 140 were built, production being interupted in the early 1990s, and ending in 2003.

Sorry about my tardiness - I had forgotten that I had posted a reply! This one won't take long. It hasn't been done before - suprisingly!

Dan's Challenge

Why, it's the good old Victor, in my biased view the best looking of the V force.

From memory I can't tell if it's an instant sunshine delivery truck or a flying gas station, but I'm sure you can tell me.

Yes indeed, it is the Victor. I didn't think it would take long. It's a K2. You can tell because if you study the fuel panel, you will see the bomb bays have five pumps each. the aux tanks on the SR2 only had two pumps, and the bomber no bomb bay tanks. A 55 Sqn aircraft taken in 1987.

And I'm with you on your bias! You have control.

Fitter 2's challenge

No takers? They even put a plan of the aircraft on the panel to remind the pilot what he was flying . Fitter2 please check PMs.

As they had a good old RR Avon, should have been OK.

So its an Avon powered military type with metric instruments, and Mel has told you its a conventional swept wing type - any guesses?

Avon powered, metric instruments and Cyrllic (?) on the turn indicator.

Curiouser and curiouser!

Dixi188's geography is not too bad, but aircraft recognition iffy if thinking the Draken is swept wing. Any apparent cyrillic is probably fitting the right type and size of instrument in the panel hole of a museum example; the type was this side of the the Iron Curtain when it existed.

Bottom rung's reply

Indeed, the J32 Lansen.



Does that make you second rung now?

Open house, it seems.
