I'll stab with the F13 mate...
That's the one mate :ok:

Your control.

Cheers

Noyade 17th Jan 2013 04:23

Curse his Corrugations! :)

New knife...

A20?

Karlark 17th Jan 2013 04:24

Didn't see your F-13 right away.... edit above.

Noyade 17th Jan 2013 04:25

You wanna sleep - I understand.

Last stab - J10?

I'm done. :(

Noyade 17th Jan 2013 04:29

Apologies for the "Rapid Junkers" - he didn't deserve all that stabbing. :)

Thanks for the F13 - painful, but we got there. Cheers and good-night. :ok:

Noyade 17th Jan 2013 04:32

But should you wake during the night....

Here's something a bit more modern...

That looks like a CitationJet thrust attenuator.

Noyade 17th Jan 2013 20:22


CitationJet
Mate, you're on a roll and have control! :ok:

TheiC 17th Jan 2013 20:28

Thank you... In fairness, it's just luck. I've poked those things often enough on the walk round! I do have (I think) a cracking challenge, but following an IT rejigging this week, I can't find the image, so OPEN HOUSE for the moment.

TheiC 18th Jan 2013 08:38

It's not the one I was thinking of, but this may prove entertaining:

Could well be mate. :)

Civilian? British? Turboprop twin? Though I don't know why the scoop would be so low down the nacelle?

nacluv 18th Jan 2013 15:19

Could also be a single - who's to say it's not a close-up of an air-to-air shot?

TheiC 18th Jan 2013 17:17

I have the slight feeling that it's rather early for big clues, so Noyade, may I answer (for now) that at least one of your questions receives the answer 'yes', and because I feel slightly bad about not being more fulsome, I'll add that (as nacluv suggests) this is a very tight crop from a larger image, and that, although you can't tell from the photograph, this is a very rare example of the type in that it has a leather 'luxury' interior; it's also quite a highly-publicised aircraft (in the last year or two)...

If I'm not being fair, or not playing by the rules, just say, and I'll answer more comprehensively!

TheiC 19th Jan 2013 08:21

As there's been no progress overnight, I'll add that at least one of Noyade's questions receives the answer 'no'... The publicity, by the way, was in the UK, though enthusiastic PPRuNErs worldwide may have come across it.

In case anyone is wondering, this IS an intake.

To Graeme's Questions:-

If that were British? No. Coupled with the statement :-

Just a very wild guess the Hawker Beechcraft King Air B200GT

TheiC 19th Jan 2013 16:02

Sorry, not a King Air of any description, nor anything else from the Hawker Beechcraft stable.

Noyade 19th Jan 2013 19:58

G'day TheiC.

So it's old, vintage maybe, and has been restored to a "luxury" standard and once back in the air became the focus of British aircraft enthusiasts?
Earlier I was thinking along the lines of the Howard 500 - doesn't fit but is that the sort of thing we should be looking at?

TheiC 19th Jan 2013 20:05

Good thinking, but not following the right scent just yet...

This example was built in 2002. From build, it was in what I might call a 'civilian executive' fit. I think the publicity was more a result of chance (and dare I say a spot of inaction) than any great interest.

TheiC 19th Jan 2013 20:17

PS, fellas belong Murrumbidgee might do well to forget the publicity thing... While lengthy, it was confined to one publication, and I'm not sure if that publication reaches the antipodes (though its web presence certainly does). Sorry if this leaves you even more baffled...
