Bonjour Richard,

I was wondering about the Lancastrian too, it was used for development of both the Ghost and the Nene and wore military markings, but I dont recognise the blister on the intake end of the nacelle or the break in the trailing edge just inboard of it.

Also, all the photos I've see, show a much heavier and larger wing roundel, and bearing in mind that Graeme said "I'm cheating with this one", I wonder if they're not French and what they used to test fly the early engines for the Vatour, The first prototype had Hispano-Suiza, licensed built Nenes before they developed the SNECMA Atar, maybe a similar arrangement on a SO 95 Corse II or SO 30 Bretagne?

Best Wishes to David (LM) too, I'm sure we all look forward to seeing you back soon, good luck mate! Trevor
