B-52 tail cone?

Yes, it is the tail of a Boeing B-52. :ok: Your turn.

In the absence of a reply from eckhard...

...how long before someone can take this to be an Open House..?

Right now! 24 hour being the usual...

Try this one.

The closest I can find is a Hornet Moth... But it's not a perfect match underneath...

So, asking the blindingly obvious question (and therefore probably completely falling into the trap): is this a DH aircraft?

Good question











No

Hmmm.

So, putting the work I did on my Master's degree (in the Blinking Obvious) to use, I'll step as gracefully as I can onto the next trap by asking...

Stampe?

...in the full knowledge that this will turn out to be the pre-production prototype of some very exotic machine I've never heard of, but at least we'll have eliminated another possibility.

Ok, I'll play nicely.
Its British, was a one off from a well known manufacturer, flew in the same decade as the Stampe

Thanks Kitbag, very much in the spirit of the forum.

I'm sure the cognoscenti are splitting their sides at my logical, iterative, and hopelessly inept deductions...

Miles Hobby? Or something else from the Miles stable?

Ooh you are so close. Miles it is, but which one ?



and it seems you are the only one with the right idea!

M.6 Hawcon.

Ciarain.

Close but no banana Ciarain

M.5 Sparrowhawk.

Ciarain.

M4 nextonthelistHawk?

(good game, I think he's got it perhaps)...

Getting there gents

Ah post 3710....

M.4 Merlin.

Ciarain.

I'm starting to feel like a model number Nazi; I know you guys are so close but...




and anyway TheIC suggested that earlier

You say What about the Miles M.2S The long-range single seat version of the Hawk Major?
