Damn Good Airplane (without looking it up) :ok:
|
Clumsy never ceases to amaze! :uhoh:
effortless, the Vega had only a single pilot, a cantilever wing, and more rounded fin. It was also a decade earlier. |
It is not my turn but to keep the thread alive try this one.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...n9/pitcock.jpg
|
Comme elle est beau......;)
|
Damn, that was obviously too easy, maybe this one will be as well.

Tempest?
|
Do I detect two people with the same book? :D :D
Anyway, its a great thread. PPP |
Not a Tempest.........
|
Typhoon.

If I didn't know better I'd say that was a Vulcan stick and pedal adjust - with Smiths instruments a la Trident. Can't be.
|
No - Trident had V-bars, but I know that ASI from other British ac. The rather steep coaming cut off is peculiar. Beagle Bassett (206) perhaps?
|
Trident 3 here, and not V bars.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...as/trident.jpg .....and a bit of Vulcan.... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/cumpas/V1.jpg |
Not a Typhoon Mr_Grubby, though you and Beagle are getting close.
There are a few still flying. |
OK - Sea Fury then!
The Vulcanistic flight deck is weird........ |
OK then - what about the ETPS Bassett 'fiddled' for handling experiments?
|
Chaps
Not fair really. It was the Aero Flight Vulcan used in 1965 to develop the Concorde TOD laws. It did indeed use the Trident instruments to make those guys feel more at home in it. JF |
I reckoned it was some Vulcan test bed; it was post-MFS era but the actual a/c was a mystery indeed!
|
Sea Fury it is, I thought the GGS might be a strong clue.

Vulcan stick - Trident Instruments. Yep, I'm happy with that!:O |
To keep the bureaucrats happy, I once acted as 'brake man' for Bradders' Fury ISS early one cold wet morning when we moved it from Southampton Docks to the airport. It had the wings removed for the journey, but the sight of the aeroplane being towed around the raods of Southampton must have been quite a sight! As we proceded along one stretch, I couldn't resist winding back the hood and asking some gent out buying his morning papers "Are we right for the airport?".
But it didn't have a standard instrument panel, IIRC. An odd one: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/nw969/25Oct.jpg |
Northrop......errrr.
|
Is big white paper aeryplane. Two built, one collision with an F-104, one left...
But I've had enough goes so someone else can finish it... |
Not the XB-70 (which is what JDK referred to)....
|
That must've been my 'orse 'ubris wot I jus' fell orf. :\
|
Concordski - Tupelov 144
|
Niet!
Much older than that. Someone got the right manufacturer, but needs to be more specific! |
Northrop XB-35?
|
TaDa! Give that chap a coconut:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/nw969/XB-35.jpg The flight deck piccie showed the co-pilots seat in the leading edge - the pilot sat up higher in the canopy. By all accounts, the crew accommodation was very generous. |

OK I know it's not my turn but I was mins after Another St. I. in saying XB -35. Honest guv !! This is easy. I've covered up the callsign to stop you lot cheating !! Clint. |
|
Sorry, I won't jump the Q again !!!
When this goes, I will leave it to you. Clint. No, it\'s not an Auster 5. |
Auster AOP?
Fifteen characters.... |
No, not an AOP.
Not an Auster. Clint. |
Could it be a Piper Cub ?
|
I don't think it's a Cub, but I was thinking Piper Cruiser, Pacer, Vagabond or similar?
|
Not a Piper.
Think British, that should give it away !! Clint. |
Airedale?
(plus the usual extra characters) |
Getting very warm Treaders !!
Clint. |
Beagle A-61 Terrier
