Yeah. Still puzzles me how I could miss two million square feet of bomber looming over my head!!
I'll be back in a short while with a suitable pic - got to nip out.
Convinced its a 'cold war' jet!....no,hang on mo'....now looks lke a chopper to me (only quite why the guy in the front would want a cooling fan on the inside of the screen when theres a bladdy great big one above him !!!
Told you it wouldn't take long! It is indeed the fearsome 'Hind', this somewhat worn example once again at Duxford.
And now for another brain-boiler from Gary !
First thoughts where a Swift...followed by a Gnat, then I couldn;t figure out why the instrument panel didnt have a glare shield. Good one Terry.
Me ?....provide a brain boiler ?...errrrr, crickey, thats a challenge then....
Ok, with my devious head on.....heres a different one. and yup, I know...allways with a picture of a very small part !....makes it harder dontchya know
What the.....!!??
Twelve individual exhaust stacks? Could it be a 24 cylinder engine, or just twin ports per cylinder? Hmm.
A shot in the dark - just a guess it isn't fitted with the full exhaust system here, I'm going for an Allison engine, and a P39 ?
It's a Griffin motor by RR.(at least that's what I think it is cause I've seen them on the European Tractor Pulling Vids) As to the aircraft I'm stumped.
