General Electric CTF39?

SincoTC 17th Feb 2012 08:33

Correct manufacturer and era, but not a TF39

Lightning Mate 17th Feb 2012 08:46

S3 Viking?

SincoTC 17th Feb 2012 08:57

That's the one mate :D; the Lockheed S-3A Viking (that's Viking with a "Vee", not wiv a "wubbleyou" like my last one) :)

Got any more jokes?..........

Lightning Mate 17th Feb 2012 10:20

Were there four or two?

MReyn24050 17th Feb 2012 10:43

Just the one.

Lightning Mate 17th Feb 2012 10:45

.......:eek::eek:....

It begs the question - was it manned?

MReyn24050 17th Feb 2012 11:46

Yes, it was manned, but was not a success in fact it got was given a very disparaging nickname by those who were expected to operate it.

Is it the Vought F6U Pirate ? a.k.a Groundhog ?

sabredog 17th Feb 2012 12:18

Gloster E.1/44 (Gormless) ?

Lightning Mate 17th Feb 2012 12:23

Nice one Bri.

I've been at this one since it was posted. You get out of bed and BANG!!!

Lightning Mate 17th Feb 2012 13:07

Mels' light is off, but there is no doubt about that one.....

If we can get a seconder I propose that you take control - I'm sure Mel would agree.

On the SC thread I have asked Ken to get back here.
