Evening David.

Aircraft is directly overhead and we're looking at the underside of the tail and exhaust?

Correct on all counts mate. :)

Maybe it's the cropping, but the tail looks very big and the exhaust rather small?

American mate?

A Yank it is......

Fighter?......

Nah mate - flight test aeroplane.

Ah. With a cockpit/pilot?

Oh yes - certainly manned.

Only one ever made.

Guess the zero to sixty...................................;)

edit: twin-engined........and they are tiny............

It's getting late here mate (well, for me anyway).

You have been deserted on SC, so here's something else to ponder.

Zero to sixty ain't anything to do with speed...............(angles).....:ok:

Stay away from sons' place of work!!!!!!!!

Goodnight mate. :ok: Thanks for the clues.

Got some serious pondering to do. Jet exhaust, four-prop airliner on SC and Mel's elusive floatplane an WA.

Time to sit on the dunny.

Very clever mate. :D

Good evening mate - hope you had a good Sunday with no 'orrible burgers!

I thought that would be an interesting one to post, which is why I thought fairly early clues were in order.

You have control. :ok::ok:

Thanks mate. :)

Here's the next one...

Pusher I assume.......

Yep........

Piaggio....?

Not Piaggio.

Realised that soon after I posted.

I jumped at a PT6a engine, but looking more closely it could be a piston.

Good jump. That's the engine - turboprop.

AVTEK 400 ?

Maybe Jetcruzer 500.

Not the Aveck. This aircraft has just the one engine.

You might have missed my edit:

Jetcruzer 500 ?

I did miss it.

:ok:

Your control mate.

Cheers mate.

This is the only one I have left.

(still trying to fathom SC).

Looks like it's in a junk-yard going by the background? Bugs and fly-**** at the front, or is that the exhaust?

It's at the front - an air intake, but not to an engine.

It also looks "industrial strength" with the ring of bolts holding the end piece on?

Pulse-jet?

It's not an engine intake mate - it's for something else.

"industrial strength" might give you a clue as to the country.

Back to SC :\

Wanna bigger pic?

Yes please. :)

Standby then...........

Are you still in chopper mode?

Part of the cockpit at the top of the photo = the front? That is bug ****? Proboscis is for what purpose?

Got it in one mate. :)

You are indeed looking from the front

The proboscis is a rear-view mirror.

The splatterings around the guard can only be squashed bugs.

An air filter?
Chernobyl air-sampler?

Edit;

??

Another pic coming up..............

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...9/bigger-1.jpg

Chernobyl has got you the right country........;)

Hoodlum?

So, what does that thing at the front do?

Hoodlum it is. :D

I'm not sure what the intake is, but it looks as if it's got something to do with cabin air.

All yours mate. :ok:

Thanks mate.

Next...

Strewth - if that's a jet exhaust it's tiny.........

As I understand it mate, it exhausts compressed air from the main jet engine.
