Challenge
 
So here's one!
What's this then?

Extra for the aircraft type and the location!

Kitbag 27th Aug 2011 07:01

non reheated jet pipe, somewhere in the Hunter era?

Fareastdriver 27th Aug 2011 07:31

Rocket motor for some Saunders Roe dual propellent job.

Cornish Jack 27th Aug 2011 17:21

Cheapo Chinese cup and saucer viewed from above.

sycamore 27th Aug 2011 17:24

Nah ,it`s the jetpipe off a J-P and someone has removed the 4 thermocouples..

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 17:31

Would the location be (then) RAF Museum Cosford?

west lakes 27th Aug 2011 17:41

Some close, one very close but no cigar yet

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 17:58

So, you are saying it is the Armstrong Siddeley Viper 8 jet pipe of the Saunders-Roe SR.53 in RAF Museum Cosford?

Nope definitely not one of them or at that museum

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 19:27

Not one but the other, or none of them?

sycamore 27th Aug 2011 22:30

Alternatively, given the `user-id`,could it be the jet-pipe of the refurbished `BLUEBIRD`,from `oop North...

west lakes 28th Aug 2011 12:06

I'll concede "jet pipe" and that it is an aircraft (in a museum)

evansb 28th Aug 2011 13:38

AVRO 707C ?

10W 28th Aug 2011 13:39

Gloster Meteor at Carlisle ?

sabredog 28th Aug 2011 18:15

Fairey FD2. Cosford?

west lakes 28th Aug 2011 18:29

Keep trying, another clue when we get to page two

sycamore 28th Aug 2011 18:48

Jindivik,at Cosford..?

Noyade 31st Aug 2011 12:04


Keep trying, another clue when we get to page two
I'm looking forward to page 2....

Supermarine Attacker?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 12:08

If so, then how about Fleet Air Arm Museum?

Kieron Kirk 31st Aug 2011 14:47

Supermarine 517.

Ciarain.

west lakes 31st Aug 2011 16:07

We might be on the right track in one answer

This is parked next to it

NutherA2 31st Aug 2011 17:13

Is this second one a reheat Sapphire?

sabredog 31st Aug 2011 18:02

Handley Page HP.115 or Short SC1?

west lakes 31st Aug 2011 18:29

To the last two, sorry no (but the second photo is a reheat engine as you spotted.

sycamore 31st Aug 2011 19:16

The second one looks Russian...?

MReyn24050 1st Sep 2011 15:32

Wild guess, possibly the Sukhoi Su7 pre and post afterburner at Monino?

west lakes 1st Sep 2011 20:24

Neither of them are Eastern Block

Noyade 1st Sep 2011 22:29


Neither of them are Eastern Block
So, should we be still looking for a British solution...in a British Museum?

evansb 1st Sep 2011 23:08

Hmm...is this the start of a new thread? Shall we call it "Name That Tail Pipe" ?

PEI_3721 2nd Sep 2011 00:31

Reheat, Sapphire? An unusual fit; – lets try a Hunter test aircraft with Sapphire or Avon, with reheat.
For the first jet pipe – it’s long, and not a true circular fuselage – Swift?

As an alternative, possibly linking the suggestions above - Supermarine 525.

west lakes 2nd Sep 2011 07:41

Noyade
Yes that is correct but you might have crossed too many aircraft off the list!

Lightning Mate 2nd Sep 2011 07:53

Is it the Hendon Museum?

MReyn24050 2nd Sep 2011 09:42

Clutching at straws. Location FAA Museum Yeovilton Aircraft Handley Page HP115 and BAC 221.

west lakes 2nd Sep 2011 10:17

One out of 3 sir!

Noyade 2nd Sep 2011 10:33

G'day Mel, I thought the HP.115 was eliminated when sabredog mentioned it above?

So maybe...

BAC 221?
Hawker Hunter?...

Fleet Air Arm Museum?

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3...2149347527.jpg

Hunter butt....

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8484/indexjt.jpg


"Name That Tail Pipe" ?
Or "Plug that Butt!"....:)

west lakes 2nd Sep 2011 10:37

OOOh very close one type incorrect (but maybe not the maker)

Noyade 2nd Sep 2011 10:45

Harrier?

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3...ges0234441.jpg

west lakes 2nd Sep 2011 10:48

The cheat is the missing engine!
I'm seeing it in the photos!

west lakes 2nd Sep 2011 10:49

A Harrier with re-heat? That would be fun

MReyn24050 2nd Sep 2011 10:55

Hawker P1052 (VX272) at Yeovilton
