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?

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.

The image above which you posted appears, to me, something like this...
No way is that a complete aircraft?
Cheers mate.
Backing up a bit, and adding a bit of nostalgia. sabredog asked:
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!
Where was the asbestos blanket to protect the tailplane?

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.

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!
