Tarnished'll be down the White Elephant. No one works in Fut Wuth on a Friday.

As I got the U2, here is one

Canberra of some kind. Need to work out the Mark now ;)

B2 maybe ??

Mk 62 it is; well done Mike, "you have control"

pROMPTED BY THE SAD DEMISE OF 2 X T4 at the schoolof excellence today. A sad sight seeing the mortal remains cruise past my fron door on the back of an articulated truck.

At least 3 x Jaguar T birds have shared the same fate this week :{

Obviously not enough Air Museums for them to have had a more dignified retirement.

No White Elephant today, its only every second friday we get off! Next week then maybe.

Right going to try a maths puzzle.

Start with this number

then subtract this

and then add this number

Now the question is how many engines the answer should have?

Enjoy, no cheating, no calculators, slide rules are allowed.

Tarnished

As I don't know how to change the file name without loosing the picture link I'm going to have to trust you.

Tarnished....
 

8?
(Hi y'all!)

8 engines I get as well (B52) but MJ's has me stumped.

The control column type I've seen on a few other aircraft but can't pin this cockpit layout down :(

...................this'll stuff 'em.

Mike's: X-15 ?

Okay, let's see if anyone finds this familiar:

This aircraft may be a lot later than first appearances. The instrument panel actually looks as if it was planned from the start, and the Attitude Indicator appears to be fairly sophisticated.

I'd say mid fifties - at the earliest.

This is a Varsity cockpit introduced in 1951, I would suggest that this is decades more advanced than the challenge.

I reckon on a first generation (enclosed cockpit) twin engined airliner, probably middle thirties. I have been through the imperial airways webpages and am yet to find a suitable candidate.

Airspeed Consul ?

Definitely not a Consul.

What's bothering me on this one is the 'apparent' vintage. The metal-work appears to be 30's - but the instrument panel appears to be much later. When did you first see a two-tone AH - sky and ground? Come on - tell me, and I may change my tack.

From the seats and the flimsy-looking tubular frame, I'd say one of the very rare flying Renault R4's. Probably the one with the big (1108cc) engine.

Sorry folks for the delay. Tiger_mate is spot on, it's a mid-thirties design. Many examples were built, with Renault engines.

Caudron C445 Goeland ?

Clint.

Flamant? I understand that was designed in the late 30s but didn't go to production until after the war. Erm, I think.

Clint is right. Well done! It was a C445. The aircraft on the photo also saw service with the Luftwaffe.

Just a lucky guess !
Over to someone else.
I would like to know however, what forgets back garden contraption is all about ?

Clint.

Hey, luck was involved in all my guesses. Here's a quick one to perhaps decide who's next:

Back garden contraption! Some thirty years ago that 'contraption' introduced my young sons to aviation. It was instrumental in causing them to choose a career elsewhere.

I think Cringe has given us an AV8B.

I think its also a test or development aircraft

Pretty sure thats a ****** stick top, could be an F-18E/F is suppose.

T

I bet a few quality hours were accumulated in that blue crate.

A few quality hours? Certainly were Tiger_mate. Now and again we'd let the kids in.

I'm going for F-117B.

It is indeed a prototype. Neither F-18 nor F-117 though.

Not an F-35 either. Sorry.

Saab JAS39 Gripen

Nope, not a Gripen.

Typhoon family pedigree

EFA
Eurofighter
Typhoon

Not of that pedigree, no.

F-22 is wrong too. Think international.

X-31?

You didn't discount my AV 8B along with the F-18 EF

Anybody else tried typing a nick name for the St Loius base hamburger company and got the asterisks???

Tarnished

Apologies Tarnished, it's not the AV-8B. Nor X-31.

Mike, negative on both counts.

Unfortunately the type we're looking for wasn't very successful.

We're heading for a 'westernised' Russian machine here.

Nah, it's not Russian.

Hint: After the original project failed, the design was sold to another country.

Kfir

Mirage 5 by another name

Not Kfir, but you're close!

Lavi then, odd looking machine, Sydney Camm wouldnt approve
