Gary, is that the 1951 Convair 'Emperor' - the pre-curser of the stealth technology used on the F-111?

 

[vikingBerserker]

DANG IT! Why did I not think of that!

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it was Britains first stealth aircraft, long before the term 'stealth' had been associated with aircraft. Unfortunately, apart from giving away its position by the amount of oil it spilled, it also caused many serious injuries to the pilots. They fell off the ladder as they couldn't find the cockpit.....

Great pic Harrison.....doesn't look anything like Beau's though? maybe there is more than One?

 

[B-17engineer]

Your looks a bit different Beau......hmmm

Thanks Wayne, heard it, couldn't see it! Knew it had to be one!

Must be the way the light is reflecting off of Mars.

 

[Wayne Little]

What was the question again?

 

[Airframes]

Hmm, I'm not sure H. You might have caught the Russian one, following the other one! Hard to tell from that angle though.....

Harrison's pic is the Emperor Mk VIIVDXX, made a few years after the first pic and being more invisible.

A bit of trivia: Pilots who flew the Emperor were checked out for chest congestion and asthma as the resulting sneezing and coughing would eventually reveal the plane. Plus nobody has found a good cleaner for boogers.
