Thanks LM,

Seeing as it's still my OH; I'll take it back and put another one up but I expect it'll go quickly!

Looks a bit like a CF34 or ALF502 turbofan?

The engine looks a bit like the Kolesov RD-36-51 as fitted to the Tu 144

Good evening Mel,

You're spot on as usual !!

It is one of the four Kolesov RD-36-51 afterburning turbojets that powered the Tupolev Tu-144.

Good morning Mel,

I think that's a Viper tailpipe on the HP-115 (now at Yeovilton FAA Museum and well worth a visit)

Yes that is when they open up their refurbishment hangar I believe. I see your latest one Trevor is a Rotary aircraft for a change.

Good evening Mel,

Cobham Hall is officially known as their "Reserve Collection", but it did look like they were doing restoration work in there when I last visited.

Not many about today! Of course, you're correct about my latest being a helicopter!

Well Trevor seeing as nobody else has bitten I will say your challenge is the Agusta A129 Mangusta.

Hi Mel,

A bite from a Mongoose can be quite nasty!!

You're absolutely right, it is the Agusta A129 Mangusta powered by two Rolls-Royce Gem 2-1004D turboshafts (license built by Piaggio); it was the first Attack helicopter built in Western Europe

Thanks Mel. Having trouble trying to be original, so how about a cross-section at the tailpipes?
