Oww, seriously used and abused.
Is it a twin spool engine?

gas path 5th Mar 2012 21:24

Damn and blast. I been sussed! No it's a triple spool so that narrows the field down a bit!:}

RB 211 (anything from -22 to -524E4)

She'll do a trip!

OH if correct.

I was going to go RB199- I remember hearing that they would shed turbines more often than not.

Nearly right, but missed by a generation. It's the (remains of!:E) an RB211-524g engine. IIRC suffered a surge on take-off where the FAFC was scheduling more fuel to try to overcome the drop in P3 pressure.

open house!

OK. This is an air intake? Something of the Air Cobra, P51 Mustang size shape and build? Unless of course its one of those Rocket assisted take off packs from the Strato Bomber days?

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 12:04

It is an intake, but from neither of your suggestions. :)

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 12:29

Piston engined aeroplane.

Never entered production.

trucky04 6th Mar 2012 12:35

Russian. Variant of the Mig 3?

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 12:36

Not russian.

A'rtnoon LM,


One from up my sleeve.....
That's odd, I'd have thought it might have been pinned to your Tie :)

First visit in a couple of days, I have been (and still am) heavily involved with business wallah's so can't stake a claim on this one, but my suggestion may help it along if it's what I think it is.

Catchya later and Graeme too I hope :ok:

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 13:16

You've got it without a doubt TC. :)

Pity you're all tied up.......

MReyn24050 6th Mar 2012 14:36

Well with clues like that it can only be the Martin Baker MB-5.

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 14:40

'artnoon Mel. :)

You know me - no point in making life difficult.

The MB5 it is - your control. :ok:

Be gentle with us........

MReyn24050 6th Mar 2012 14:49

Thank you David.

Be gentle with us........
Well here is a nice easy one:-

Looks like it's from 1890!

MReyn24050 6th Mar 2012 15:04


Looks like it's from 1890!
:) :ok: :) Give or take a few years.

Lightning Mate 6th Mar 2012 15:21

The only thing I know with an exhaust like that was a project and never flew.
