The What is it? Game

[Airframes]

I had a feeling people might think it was the nose of an aircraft, but I really did think it would be solved quickly all the same.

My first thought was 'Friday 13th , the Hallybag at YAM, but I didn't remember seeing the two seebackoscopes behind the glazing !. Good one mate.

And on with show. Another from my collection.

 

[Graeme]

From the USA Gary?

 

[Airframes]

Looks like a US made type, judging by the ejector seat, 1950s to early 1960s, but the windscreen shape has me stumped - for now.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I feel like I should know this one...

 

[Geedee]

Graeme / Terry, it was taken in the USA and is a US airframe.

Jim...yup !

 

[Airframes]

It doesn't look quite right, but that might be the camera angle or lens - but I'll go for F-100.

Ummm...close, but not quite the right shape. I would say the Hun's kissing cousin, the F-107A. Of course, it could be argued that the F-107A was originally intended to be designated the F-100B.

Specifically I think this is F-107A (or XF) number 55-5119, at Wright Pat.

T!

 

[Geedee]

Yup, you got it !

Well done both of you

 

[Capt. Vick]

Damn good one!

 

[Airframes]

Yep, good one, and well done Token.

 

[Token]

I might be showing a bit too much of this one up front.

T!

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. Now where have I seen that nose before ?
Probably wrong, but I'll start with Vatour ..... and I'm sure that's spelled wrong !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it Argentinian?

 

[Graeme]

Martin XB-48?

 

[wuzak]

Martin XB-48?

I think we have a winner.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I agree.

 

[Token]

Martin XB-48?

Yep, well done Graeme, I knew I was showing a lot of it on the first pic. With this group it has to be more challenging.

T!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great guess and great shot! Never saw that picture before.

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Token!

Moving on...
