[Capt. Vick]

Great job!

 

[Geedee]

Struggling to find something worthy at the moment. Have a go at this one....

 

[Airframes]

A wild guess - MiG 17 ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Mig 15?

 

[Geedee]

Not a Mig

 

[Airframes]

Iskra ?

 

[Geedee]

It's an English Multi-engine

 

[Airframes]

Andover ?

 

[buffnut453]

Short Belfast?

 

[rochie]

zeppelin gondola ?

 

[Geedee]

Hmmmmm....let me see...nope

 

[wuzak]

Bristol Beaufighter

 

[Geedee]

I like your thinking but sorry, not a Beau.

Don't think Beaufighters carried racehorses much anyway, even after conversion

 

[Capt. Vick]

Belfast?

 

[Airframes]

Vickers Vanguard / Merchantman ?

 

[Geedee]

Vickers Vanguard / Merchantman ?

You got it Sir. Taken at Brooklands

 

[Airframes]

Good one Gary. It was surrounded by scaffold staging, being worked on, when we where there in March. Shame, as it's the first time I had seen one, since being onboard a BEA Vanguard at Turnhouse, around 1966 !

OK, try this one.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it a Miles product?

 

[Airframes]

Not Miles, Jim, but it is British.

Was thinking this sits under the clockwork on some DC3's, but the perspective / angle is wrong. Then figured it was the front intake for a Fiat '55, but that ain't English.
So, my guess is its a trainer of some sort...don't know why, it just looks like its from a friend of a Chippie., looks too 'agricultural and not sleek and the sort of thing you'd find attached to a fighter.
Provost ?
