What is that lurking in the background?

[OUAQUKGF Ops]

Just found this image. No clues to location or date but would have to be late forties or early fifties. Blowed if I know.

T-33 I'd say...

[Jhieminga]

I'd say the same. Although the P-80 is an option as well (theoretically).

A chimney.

P/F-80...T-BIRD later

[DaveReidUK]

The split airbrake definitely says T-33/P-80, more likely the latter given the era

[Quemerford]

Looks like Germany and it's a P-80.

Could be a MkV111 Halifax; another jet hiding behind it`s stbd u/c,and strange parking area with picketing rings,and a GPU between the wheels...

[evansb]

What type of aeroplane is being manoeuvred by the hangar doors?

[treadigraph]

Think that's a SIPA 903.

[sycamore]

,The biplane is a Stampe SV-4,possibly a Nord845 behind....somewhere in France...?
Ahhh,yes ,couple of 2CV s as well....

Top photo I would guess is one of the two P-80's sent to the UK prior to the end of the war, based with USAAF at Burtonwood. Two others went to Italy.

The image of the Halifax came off an online auction site. Said to be a Mark V1 of Coastal Command.

If you think that we're going back to dooks, evansb and a few others having parlour games: it's not going to happen.

Until you recognise this is an International Forum and refrain from the pretence of not understanding a very simple rule whereby a winner is not named until 24 hours after the original post, then this and all spotters threads will be under the 24 hour rule.

This includes the resurrected Silhouette thread.

Good try but no cigar........................... the only option if you want those rules is to set up or use another BB
