Afternoon Karl,

I just spent my allocation of spare time for this evening watching the Vikings win their Wembley clash with the Steelers, two good TD's by Peterson and a nail biting last few seconds and a sack that saved the day

So no time to look for your challenge as I've got a sack to hit soon, as it's a very early start tomorrow, but I think it's French with two on the wing and a third in the fuselage for supercharging, hence the odd placement of that intake?

Should be relatively easy, but there's no Timeouts here and I have to go now.

I'll look tomorrow if nobody else nails it first.

Hello Trevor,

I was only able to listen to the game on the radio but caught the last few minutes on TV. What an exciting game.. what a venue Wembley is. I would have loved to have been there; great to see our Minnesota Vikings play on an international stage.

Yes, you have indeed keenly described the subject challenge.

Thanks Karl but Trevor did the "Hard Yakka". Nevertheless, can't miss an opportunity so here's another one, in fact two images....

Hi Simon.

Wiki says yes to the above - a licensed version, but this is not a German aircraft.
A colour shot...

I was just passing so thought an easy one was appropriate until an expert found a suitable topic.

Looked at these for a number of years, Trident.
If correct, open house.

YES

Well done - used in research by RAE Bedford Aero Flight for the take off director for Concorde back in 1965 time. We put a Trident panel on the RHS to make airline pilots of the day feel at home



You have control

John,
Thanks! I think it helped having read your excellent book!

Where do I collect my prize?

PS Was that the same Vulcan airframe that Tom Frost flew with the development Olympus engine?
