Challenge

[Harley Quinn]

I'm sorry, just a lurker here, I have nothing to post

[India Four Two]

A still from a video. I was warned to stand to the side, for obvious reasons

[sabredog]

D.H. Vampire ?

[India Four Two]

sabredog does it again!



Brett Emeny's immaculate ex-Swiss Vampire T11 ZK-RVM

Over to you, sd.

[sabredog]

Thank you,Simon. Where was the asbestos blanket to protect the tailplane?
The next challenge;

[Harley Quinn]

Can't work out whether that is an 'inny' or an 'outy'!

[Noyade]

Thanks Harley! I was too ashamed to ask.

[Harley Quinn]

My first thoughts were either DH 108 intake, or CM 170 exhaust, (quick image check on google shows not only my eyesight is shot, so is my memory!) hence the question

[Noyade]

You can just make out a black strip at top left of the photo...vertical fin? Therefore it's an exhaust?

Supermarine Type 508...but the "tail" should be further back?

[Harley Quinn]

Like it!
maybe the 525 or Scimitar though?

[sabredog]

Apologies,Gentlemen.
Best to scrub this effort, as my challenge is showing the full photograph!!
Which rather defeats the object of the thread.
My Photobucket is not transposing the correct copies .
Apologies for wasting your time.

I don't follow you mate? Can't be?

[Harley Quinn]

Glad my camera is better than that!

Or I suppose it does remind me of those particularly grainy pics one would see of Soviet types at Ramenskoye or wherever.

I don't have any problems with your image Sabredog. If that is the entire photograph, that's fine, once the name is revealed anyone can see a larger similar image via google.

Please reconsider. Love to know what it was. British?

Just mulling that over mate. Is it possible that for some technical/photobucket reason, which I don't fully understand, we're not seeing what you're seeing?

The image above which you posted appears, to me, something like this...



No way is that a complete aircraft?

Cheers mate.

French ‘V’ tail; Magister?
OH

[India Four Two]

Backing up a bit, and adding a bit of nostalgia. sabredog asked:

Where was the asbestos blanket to protect the tailplane?

I don't remember Marshalls using asbestos blankets at Shawbury in 1968, when I had my first ride in a Vampire. Was that an SOP for RAF Vampires and Venoms?

I flew in the Vampire before I filmed Brett starting up for his flight home to New Plymouth. I mentioned to a friend that the cockpit seemed to have shrunk over the last 44 years and he charitably commented that it must have been a 3/4 scale Vampire!

[sabredog]

All very odd,Noyade. It must be a technical problem, as it is now appearing correctly,i.e. a cropped picture! Excellent sketch, though.
Not the delightful Magister,Safetypee,but certainly French.
It is, by the way, an intake.
Simon,please check your P.M.s, reference D.H. Vampire.
Sabredog.

[sabredog]

It is on it's way,Simon.

[SincoTC]

If it's an intake, then I suspect it's a Payen Pa.49 ??

I'm going to be very busy this afternoon, so please call an OH if correct to someone else a chance! I'll pop one up when I get home if it's still free!
