I'm sorry, just a lurker here, I have nothing to post

A still from a video. I was warned to stand to the side, for obvious reasons :)

Brett Emeny's immaculate ex-Swiss Vampire T11 ZK-RVM

Over to you, sd.

Thank you,Simon. Where was the asbestos blanket to protect the tailplane?
The next challenge;

Can't work out whether that is an 'inny' or an 'outy'!

Thanks Harley! I was too ashamed to ask. :(

My first thoughts were either DH 108 intake, or CM 170 exhaust, (quick image check on google shows not only my eyesight is shot, so is my memory!) hence the question

You can just make out a black strip at top left of the photo...vertical fin? Therefore it's an exhaust?

Supermarine Type 508...but the "tail" should be further back?

Like it!
maybe the 525 or Scimitar though?

Apologies,Gentlemen.
Best to scrub this effort, as my challenge is showing the full photograph!!
Which rather defeats the object of the thread.
My Photobucket is not transposing the correct copies .
Apologies for wasting your time.

I don't follow you mate? Can't be?

Glad my camera is better than that!

Or I suppose it does remind me of those particularly grainy pics one would see of Soviet types at Ramenskoye or wherever.

I don't have any problems with your image Sabredog. If that is the entire photograph, that's fine, once the name is revealed anyone can see a larger similar image via google.

Please reconsider. Love to know what it was. British?

Just mulling that over mate. Is it possible that for some technical/photobucket reason, which I don't fully understand, we're not seeing what you're seeing?

The image above which you posted appears, to me, something like this...

No way is that a complete aircraft?

Cheers mate. :ok:

French ‘V’ tail; Magister?
OH

Backing up a bit, and adding a bit of nostalgia. sabredog asked:
I don't remember Marshalls using asbestos blankets at Shawbury in 1968, when I had my first ride in a Vampire. Was that an SOP for RAF Vampires and Venoms?

I flew in the Vampire before I filmed Brett starting up for his flight home to New Plymouth. I mentioned to a friend that the cockpit seemed to have shrunk over the last 44 years and he charitably commented that it must have been a 3/4 scale Vampire!

All very odd,Noyade. It must be a technical problem, as it is now appearing correctly,i.e. a cropped picture! Excellent sketch, though.
Not the delightful Magister,Safetypee,but certainly French.
It is, by the way, an intake.
Simon,please check your P.M.s, reference D.H. Vampire.
Sabredog.

It is on it's way,Simon.

If it's an intake, then I suspect it's a Payen Pa.49 ??

I'm going to be very busy this afternoon, so please call an OH if correct to someone else a chance! I'll pop one up when I get home if it's still free!
