Good morning everyone, and a good challenge Bradenav. It was those interplane struts that made me think of the Flamingo.
I'm back after a few weeks of working away. Good fun whilst it lasted! But I've missed these quizzes.
Anyway here's the next one:

Morning Mechta,
I believe it's the Watkins Monoplane of 1909 ?
Morning Graeme, looks like you just posted first, well done mate!
Coffee time over, so back to work now!

I hope you're doing okay
Looks like Graeme has scanned this one so the chances of finding it are remote unless we've got the same books as him.....
That clothing , helmet goggles etc. don't look like aircrew kit to me. How about carrier deck crew?

Evening all,
No lights on at the moment and a few minutes to pass before I sod off home. With no active challenge as it would appear that RR has identified it correctly as the Skynight with its flat screen and no ejector-seats; I thought that I'd try sharpening my search methods and see if I could find Graeme's picture.
It turns out that they are aircrew after all. The two guys in question are pilot, Lt Col Robert Conley (right) and his Radar Operator SSgt Connor. celebrating after a night shootdown of a Mig 15 in Korea.

In fact it seems that they are aircrew. The two guys in question are pilot, Lt Col Robert Conley (right) and his Radar Operator SSgt Connor. celebrating after a night shootdown of a Mig 15 in Korea.
Cheers.
