I think that's a J-47 on a Boeing KC-97L Stratotanker or a possibly its predecessor the KB-50J ??

And now back to Kens' infuriating and elusive silhouette

Hi HQ,

Sorry, it's niether of those

You have to believe what you see when I say that the engine is being removed by rolling on tracks on each side of the fuselage tunnel.

There's no pulling the wool over your eyes mate, you see a mirage and you know it's real

In fact in the case of my image, the Atar 9B-3 turbojet is being removed from a Mirage IIIC for during restoration at a French museum (Conservatoire de l'Air et de l'Espace d'Aquitaine)

Thanks Trevor.

I'll give you a race, see who finds this one first ( hopefully you - I forgot where I found it ).

Hello Karlark. No mate. The jet engine is only about the size of a large microwave oven.
