Afternoon Karl,

I just spent my allocation of spare time for this evening watching the Vikings win their Wembley clash with the Steelers, two good TD's by Peterson and a nail biting last few seconds and a sack that saved the day :ok:

So no time to look for your challenge as I've got a sack to hit soon, as it's a very early start tomorrow, but I think it's French with two on the wing and a third in the fuselage for supercharging, hence the odd placement of that intake?

Should be relatively easy, but there's no Timeouts here and I have to go now.

I'll look tomorrow if nobody else nails it first. :)

Hello Trevor,

I was only able to listen to the game on the radio but caught the last few minutes on TV. What an exciting game.. what a venue Wembley is. I would have loved to have been there; great to see our Minnesota Vikings play on an international stage.

Yes, you have indeed keenly described the subject challenge. :)

Ahhh....clever lad that Trevor, thanks mate.....:ok:

Thanks Karl but Trevor did the "Hard Yakka". Nevertheless, can't miss an opportunity so here's another one, in fact two images....

Inverted V-12? Daimler-Benz?

Noyade 1st Oct 2013 09:23

Hi Simon.

Wiki says yes to the above - a licensed version, but this is not a German aircraft.
A colour shot...

I was just passing so thought an easy one was appropriate until an expert found a suitable topic.

Looked at these for a number of years, Trident.
If correct, open house.

John Farley 1st Oct 2013 21:39

Sorry not a Trident.

Was this cockpit challenge posted previously? Please check "What Cockpit and Aerodrome lists.." on page 2 of this forum. Thank you.

Sorry - I forgot. I did post a bigger version.

I'll go away!

John: Is it a Vulcan fitted with a Smiths System?

John Farley 5th Oct 2013 14:40

YES

Well done - used in research by RAE Bedford Aero Flight for the take off director for Concorde back in 1965 time. We put a Trident panel on the RHS to make airline pilots of the day feel at home

You have control

Meikleour 6th Oct 2013 15:02

John,
Thanks! I think it helped having read your excellent book!

Where do I collect my prize?

PS Was that the same Vulcan airframe that Tom Frost flew with the development Olympus engine?

Noyade 6th Oct 2013 22:56


Where do I collect my prize?
Right here mate! :) You get the prize of posting another image/challenge. Got one?
