North American XB70 ?

Boeing XB-70 Valkyrie.

Henry beat me to it!

How about an Antonov 225?

edit - err, the special 'Valkyrie' model?

Correct, henry!

Seen here on its last flight - only 10 years after the last flight of the B-36!

Is it a Catalina?

No, not a Cat.

Hmm, did I break any protocol as I did not win the last one? Sorry if so.

Grumman HU-16 Albatross!

Spot on BEags, leave all that mucky engine handling stuff to the Chief Stoker, eh?

I guessed it was an amphibian, as it probably had overhead throttles. A quick Google and that was it!

OK -

US built, tandem seat, twin engined fighter, late 50's early 60' vintage - but I think we'll need more than that :confused:

...not very wide, lot of dials...hmm :8

Not American,

Not tandem seating,

....but otherwise not far off the mark!

Sea Vixen maybe?


Clint

Javelin - no tandem seating??

One of you is correct. But more confidence or proof is needed!

BEags.

I have consulted my 'Boys Bumper Book of Twin Engined Jet Planes circa 1950/60'
and am confident to claim a Sea Vixen !


Clint.

I'll concede - DE HAVILLAND SEA VIXEN:ok:

If I'd taken more notice of the Attitude Indicator in the first place I'd have said Brit rather than US. Definitely a Smiths job.

Yes - 'tis indeed the mighty 'Vixen!

Over to you, Mr_G!

When I first started this thread it was because a friend and I were bouncing pictures back and forth to each other trying to outdo each other. I got stuck with the C 46, hence the post on PPRuNe.

I had no idea it would capture all our imaginations like this.


Let’s keep it going,
Over to someone else for the next pic.
