Clumsy never ceases to amaze!

effortless, the Vega had only a single pilot, a cantilever wing, and more rounded fin. It was also a decade earlier.

If I didn't know better I'd say that was a Vulcan stick and pedal adjust - with Smiths instruments a la Trident. Can't be.

No - Trident had V-bars, but I know that ASI from other British ac. The rather steep coaming cut off is peculiar. Beagle Bassett (206) perhaps?

Not a Typhoon Mr_Grubby, though you and Beagle are getting close.

There are a few still flying.

Not fair really. It was the Aero Flight Vulcan used in 1965 to develop the Concorde TOD laws. It did indeed use the Trident instruments to make those guys feel more at home in it.

I reckoned it was some Vulcan test bed; it was post-MFS era but the actual a/c was a mystery indeed!

Sea Fury it is, I thought the GGS might be a strong clue.

Vulcan stick - Trident Instruments. Yep, I'm happy with that!
