Nicely done Spit.
It is indeed the Ohka 22. :D The thermojet version as opposed to the 3-rocket version. Couldn't resist after Mels' quote above!!! Spit has requested Open House. |
Butterfly tail, what was I thinking?! :(
"See-through" one... http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4431/img023oe.jpg |
Wossa '105' bit?
|
Drogue parachute perhaps, David.
|
105...."Parachute door conical fairing"
|
Dassault Balzac perhaps?
|
You are a very clever man Mel.
109 was the port "Yaw control nozzle". Yaw control Mel! :) |
Thank you Graeme.
It was items 108 & 109 that led me too it. At first I thought Item 109 was possibly a tail wheel of some kind but the only jet aircraft to have that was the Supermarine Attacker and this was not the Attacker. So it must have been a jet efflux to give control to a VTOL aircraft, which led me to the Dassault Balzac. Here is the next one:- http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6.../Tailpipe4.jpg |
Mel is that showing the vertical fin base ending at the very edge of the fuselage?
|
Graeme.
That is correct. |
Thanks, I feel a sketch coming on! :)
|
Spey in an AMX?
|
The engine is not a Spey.
|
Do I see the horizontal stabilisers in about a 4 and 8 o'clock position? Russian possibly, an early Sukhoi Su-7?
|
Hi Ken. Yes the horizontal stabilisers are at about a 4 and 8 o'clock position but it is not Russian.
|
Not getting anywhere fast on this one Mel....there is some similarity with the prototype F9F-9 Tiger - tailplane/stabilisers in the right position. On that subject then, would this be American?
|
Ken. It is American but not the prototype F9F-9 Tiger.
|
I keep looking at the YF-8 and YA-7F Crusader/Corsair. The tailpipe and horizontal surfaces are about right, but not the tail itself :ugh:.
Are we looking at a fighter/attack prototype? |
Ken. You are on the right road. It is in fact the tailpipe of a Vought A7E CorsairII at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.The aircraft below is an A7D.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6.../CorsairA7.jpg You have control. |
Thanks Mel - somewhat surprised! Looked at the YA-7, the A-7A,B and D. Didn't look at the E - its got that little extension to the tailplane that ends at the exhaust outlet which the others don't have!
Don't have anything to offer at present, so make it Open House |
