G'day Karlark.

intake;
Jet mate? Can't work out that polished(?) surface at the lower half of the photo. Thought it might be rain water, but a jet intake wouldn't be that close to the ground, would it? Magnified, there looks to be a bolt at bottom left?

Much appreciate a clue (or two!) for a lazy Sunday morning...at your discretion of course.

Hello again Noyade,

I haven't been able to monitor close today, but I'm in now.

The intake is for a piston engine. The shiny is the underside of the wing. It's the same on the other wing as well. It does look as though they're Polish(ed).

So we're upside down? Big airscoop? Mustang?

There is something in memory about this, but I can’t get at it.
Possibly a whiff of French perfume or maybe even Swiss chocolate?

Not a whiff of French perfume or even Swiss chocolate but possibly a whiff of a Hot Dog. The aircraft is I believe the Northrop JB-1 from the USA.

Sorry SP, none of those delicate fragrancies, but maybe hot-dog as Mel points out .

Hello Mel , It takes something pretty special/obscure to stop you in your tracks and it seems this isn't it!!

It is indeed the Northrop JB-1



The guy at the back is checking to see if the onions are ready!!

MReyn24050 has control
