No, not a Cat.

Hmm, did I break any protocol as I did not win the last one? Sorry if so.

Spot on BEags, leave all that mucky engine handling stuff to the Chief Stoker, eh?

I guessed it was an amphibian, as it probably had overhead throttles. A quick Google and that was it!

OK -

US built, tandem seat, twin engined fighter, late 50's early 60' vintage - but I think we'll need more than that

One of you is correct. But more confidence or proof is needed!

BEags.

I have consulted my 'Boys Bumper Book of Twin Engined Jet Planes circa 1950/60'
and am confident to claim a Sea Vixen !

I'll concede - DE HAVILLAND SEA VIXEN

If I'd taken more notice of the Attitude Indicator in the first place I'd have said Brit rather than US. Definitely a Smiths job.

When I first started this thread it was because a friend and I were bouncing pictures back and forth to each other trying to outdo each other. I got stuck with the C 46, hence the post on PPRuNe.

I had no idea it would capture all our imaginations like this.


Let’s keep it going,
Over to someone else for the next pic.


Clint.
