If I'm wrong, can someone please post the other one? There were only two built.

I think Mel is away for some time or it might be he wants to hear BAC-221?
if so then Open House on this occasion. Credits to Pypard and Herod.

MMm. I'm thinking Cosford now. It was a 50/50 choice after all...

[Herod]

Credit to Pypard. I have to admit to being very familiar with this one, so it wasn't really a fair one for me to enter. I volunteer at Cosford, and, since this is a favourite of mine, pat her on the wingtip each time I'm there. The one at Yeovilton is WG 774, and as SLB noted, is now a BAC 221, having been modified as part of the Concorde trials. If Mel is happy, you go ahead, Pypard.

[Pypard]

No I'm happy to defer: it's the FD.2 after all, not the BAC 221 as I'd first thought.

[meleagertoo]

Herod has it - it is indeed the FD2 at Cosford.

[Herod]

Thanks. OPEN HOUSE

Open House, as I don't have anything at the moment. A bit of a sitter for me anyway, since I see it on a weekly basis. In fact, I'll be patting it this Thursday. One of the prettier aeroplanes in the museum.

Hmmm...I believe we're in Romania?
An IAR product - fighter?

[Asturias56]

Yes correct country - only one built IIRC and it didn't end well...

[Noyade]

Looking at your front shot again - probably this machine...?

[Asturias56]

Yes - correct! First of many IAR designs (most of which did better than the first one)


Happy New Year

[Noyade]

Thanks A'56.

Nuther Nose....

[Pypard]

Looks Italian.

[Asturias56]

I'd say it looks Russian ............................

[Pypard]

Pretty sure it's Italian.

[Asturias56]

Do you have something in mind?
