The What is it? Game

[Airframes]

That's the one I was thinking of - well done.

 

[Graeme]

Yes, well done Wuzak - over to you mate.

 

[wuzak]

Could somebody else post another one?

I have no ideas at this time.

 

[Airframes]

OK, I'll offer this one then.

 

[Airframes]

I'll admit, it's a bit of a sneaky one - any clues required ?

 

[Geedee]

Looks like a hard-point attachment of some kind under a wing ?...in for a penny, Canberra

 

[Airframes]

Not a Canberra, but it is part of a wing - not where you'd expect - and it is British, and has more than one engine.
As I said, it's sneaky, very sneaky - so think 'out of the box'.

 

[Airframes]

Looks like more clues are required, so - it's British, has two engines, was in service, one way or another, for over 30 years, in various Marques, with some, in specialised roles, still going a few years ago. There are a few still flying, and the type broke a few records, and was one of the first of its type to see active service, and the first of its type in another way.
Exported to many countries both within, and separate from, the Commonwealth, it's now a Classic, but could be a bit of a pig to handle, in its day.
What you are looking at, in the pic, is a major part of the airframe, but not where you'd expect - this part is almost hidden, but in full view, at certain angles !!!

Meteor?

 

[Capt. Vick]

That ugly EE Lightning?

 

[Airframes]

Wash your mouth out James ! Ugly indeed, how dare you, the Lightning is booootiful !

And yes, it's a Meteor F8, in 56 Sqn markings at Duxford -well done and over to you Mr. W.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Hahahahaha!

 

[wuzak]

Thanks Airframes.

Hopefully this one will last a little longer

That ugly EE Lightning?
