Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Sure is a Frightening mate.

Yes - it is indeed the wing spar carry-through box.

TC has declared Open House.

Apologies for the original image, still have problems with resizing the images!

No apologies needed. Not easy finding a rare subject with the required pixels to maintain resolution. Found this enormous image on the net while looking for yours, think it was 4500 X 3000 pixels! Crops very nicely, not even re-sized!...but not a rare aircraft...

Those temp or thrust trimmers in the jet pipe again; thus probably pre FADEC.
Also, there is a large gap between the jet pipe and airframe – quite old, non reheat?
Nice airframe tin work, perhaps French style?

P.S. #819 had to be a Lightning intake – with all that fuel tank sealant on the outside of the fuel tank structure. Very indicative of a slight ‘g’ exceedance and shim slip in the wing carry through box … experience .

[Noyade]

quite old, non reheat?

Correct.

perhaps French style?

Not French mate. Here's the intake...

Looks like a HS748?

[evansb]

Yes, skytrain10, seen at Blackpool, missing a wheel, it is an AVRO 748. You have control.

[skytrain10]

Thank evansb....once a common sight in the UK. Used to fly on them on occasions in the 80's. Still a few in service in Canada I guess?

Here we go:

[Noyade]

Ilyushin Il-114?

[skytrain10]

Ilyushin Il-114?

Right company, but wrong aircraft!

[Karlark]

Ilyushin IL-38 look to have similar exhausts.

Edit: So does the IL-18 which appears to be the one.

[skytrain10]

So does the IL-18 which appears to be the one.

Yep, its the IL-18 Karl


Karlark has control

[Karlark]

Afternoon Ken, here's the next challenge:

[safetypee]

That’s a good one to float! I don’t think that it had any wheels??

[Karlark]

Possibly not, SP.

[skytrain10]

P-6M Seamaster?

[Karlark]

You got it Ken. It is the Martin Seamaster.



Skytrain10's control.

Edit: Open House per Skytrain's request.
Hey look safetypee, wheels

[skytrain10]

Karl, as this was largely given away which made life somewhat easy please make this Open House.
