Martin P6M-2 Seamaster ?

[evansb]

sabredog is correct. You have control.

[sabredog]

Many thanks,Brian.
The next challenge;

[Noyade]

Prop to the left? Looks like a 100mm X 5mm piece of plate steel jutting out at top right, some sort of strut?

(Glad your Payen image sorted itself out)

[Harley Quinn]

Looks like a very small exhaust; the surrounding structure gives it some scale, may be 3-4" diameter. Some sort of light drone helicopter?

[sabredog]

Neither a strut nor a prop,Noyade,and thank you for your help.
Not a Drone,HC.
Quite a heavy piece of machinery and jet powered.

[TheiC]

STOVL aircraft by any chance?

The bit top right is surely an antenna?

[spook]

Looks like a reaction control nozzle of some sorts but I can't figure out the orientation!! Don't think its western though.

[Harley Quinn]

See what you mean, must be a fairly short list; not Harrier, so maybe Rockwell VF12 or Yak 36 Forger?

[SincoTC]

Just finishing my coffee break, so it'll have to be OH if correct!

Yak-141 ??

[TheiC]

I think we may be looking up, obliquely, at the fore or aft end of an under-body fairing, hence the bilge access plate and antenna. Fore/aft axis runs top right to bottom left of shot.

Don't think it's a Yak, and I'm going off the idea that it's STOVL. Could be a military aircraft's APU exhaust or similar...

[Noyade]

I think Trevor has it...

[sabredog]

Well done,SincoTC, correct answer, the Yak 141.
A good effort by all participants on that one though.

Thanks SD,

Seeing as it's still OH, I'll take it back and put up another Intake,

[skytrain10]

Initial thought Trevor....the Beriev R.1?

[SincoTC]

Well timed return Ken, I just got home!

Stick with that initial thought mate, it is the Beriev R-1

The first Soviet turbojet-powered flying boat. Experience gained during the test programme with the R-1 was used in the development of the Beriev Be-10.



skytrain10 has control

Thanks Trevor.

Next intake:

[Noyade]

Engine test-bed mate?
