What is that lurking in the background?
Just found this image. No clues to location or date but would have to be late forties or early fifties. Blowed if I know.

Think that's a SIPA 903.
Top photo I would guess is one of the two P-80's sent to the UK prior to the end of the war, based with USAAF at Burtonwood. Two others went to Italy.

Is this a new thread? "Identify the aircraft in the background"? I like it! The rules: Correctly identify the aircraft through evidence, personal assurance or corroboration, and then post another one. Please have another one in your buffer. Please have another one. No Time Limits. Time Zones be damned. Basically, get it right, and post another. So, what do you think?
Until you recognise this is an International Forum and refrain from the pretence of not understanding a very simple rule whereby a winner is not named until 24 hours after the original post, then this and all spotters threads will be under the 24 hour rule.
This includes the resurrected Silhouette thread.

Good try but no cigar........................... the only option if you want those rules is to set up or use another BB
