If I'm wrong, can someone please post the other one? There were only two built.

I think Mel is away for some time or it might be he wants to hear BAC-221?
if so then Open House on this occasion. Credits to Pypard and Herod.

MMm. I'm thinking Cosford now. It was a 50/50 choice after all...

Credit to Pypard. I have to admit to being very familiar with this one, so it wasn't really a fair one for me to enter. I volunteer at Cosford, and, since this is a favourite of mine, pat her on the wingtip each time I'm there. The one at Yeovilton is WG 774, and as SLB noted, is now a BAC 221, having been modified as part of the Concorde trials. If Mel is happy, you go ahead, Pypard.

No I'm happy to defer: it's the FD.2 after all, not the BAC 221 as I'd first thought.

Herod has it - it is indeed the FD2 at Cosford.

Thanks. OPEN HOUSE

Open House, as I don't have anything at the moment. A bit of a sitter for me anyway, since I see it on a weekly basis. In fact, I'll be patting it this Thursday. One of the prettier aeroplanes in the museum.

Here's one to be going on with..

Hmmm...I believe we're in Romania?
An IAR product - fighter?

Yes correct country - only one built IIRC and it didn't end well...

Looking at your front shot again - probably this machine...?

Yes - correct! First of many IAR designs (most of which did better than the first one)


Happy New Year

Thanks A'56.

Looks Italian.

I'd say it looks Russian ............................

Pretty sure it's Italian.

Do you have something in mind?
