Thanks LM,

Seeing as it's still my OH; I'll take it back and put another one up but I expect it'll go quickly!

Indeed it is!

Looks a bit like a CF34 or ALF502 turbofan?

MReyn24050 12th Nov 2011 18:44

The engine looks a bit like the Kolesov RD-36-51 as fitted to the Tu 144

Good evening Mel,

You're spot on as usual :D!!

It is one of the four Kolesov RD-36-51 afterburning turbojets that powered the Tupolev Tu-144.

You have control :ok:

Thanks Trevor. Here is the next one:-

Good morning Mel,

I think that's a Viper tailpipe on the HP-115 (now at Yeovilton FAA Museum and well worth a visit)

MReyn24050 13th Nov 2011 11:39

Hi Trevor. That is the one, I know the Museum well I used to work in Gazelle House just across the road from the museum.
Your control.

Thanks Mel,

Best to visit Yeovilton on one of their Cobham Hall "open house" days, very interesting additional things to see!

here's the next challenge!

Yes that is when they open up their refurbishment hangar I believe. I see your latest one Trevor is a Rotary aircraft for a change.

SincoTC 13th Nov 2011 18:47

Good evening Mel,

Cobham Hall is officially known as their "Reserve Collection", but it did look like they were doing restoration work in there when I last visited.

Not many about today! Of course, you're correct about my latest being a helicopter!

MReyn24050 13th Nov 2011 19:06

Well Trevor seeing as nobody else has bitten I will say your challenge is the Agusta A129 Mangusta.

SincoTC 13th Nov 2011 19:23

Hi Mel,

A bite from a Mongoose can be quite nasty!!

You're absolutely right, it is the Agusta A129 Mangusta powered by two Rolls-Royce Gem 2-1004D turboshafts (license built by Piaggio); it was the first Attack helicopter built in Western Europe :D

You have control :ok:

MReyn24050 13th Nov 2011 19:49

Thanks Trevor. Here is a nice easy one:-

MReyn24050 13th Nov 2011 22:18

HI Graeme
You have it the Mikoyan-Gurevich I-270

Your control.

Noyade 13th Nov 2011 22:28

Thanks Mel. Having trouble trying to be original, so how about a cross-section at the tailpipes?
