Good line of deduction, my dear. Watson !
It is indeed a Percival Provost T1. this example being at Old Warden.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Well done sir!

 

[Geedee]

That caused some head scratching mate !.
How 'bout this one ?

 

[buffnut453]

VC-10?

 

[Airframes]

Bristol Type 188 "Flaming Pencil" ?

Bristol Type 188 "Flaming Pencil" ?

OOh good guess

 

[Geedee]

Not a VC10 or 'Flaming Pencil....never heard of that name before although I recognise the airframe !

It is a jet, more than one engine and more that one seat

Looks like the tail end of a HS-125.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Buccaneer?

 

[Geedee]

Not a 125 or 'Brick...good tries tho
Hmmmm.
Once you mastered this bad boy, you could play with one that had guns fitted. It was re-engined during its life.

I'm going round in circles here - was thinking F-104 or F-5, but doesn't seem right for either. It does look familiar, but I can't place it .................

A-37, the immortal Tweety bird?

 

[Geedee]

Not a Tweet.

Its a low wing tandem....big giveaway

Hi Gary.

I've been trying to figure out the shape by the reflections - unsuccessfully.
To my eyes the exhaust is buried deep in the trailing edge close to the fuselage and the main undercart seems to be waaaaay out near the wingtip?
Dunno what the tail is doing...

 

[Capt. Vick]

A C-100 Canuck?

 

[Geedee]

Hey Graeme, Dude, you're doing some serious effort into this one mate ! . Quite a wide track undercart but single wheel only. A couple of 4 seat versions were built but didn't go into production.
Capt V, Not a Canuck...considerably smaller
This one sports a non standard paintjob.
V interesting tail.
And the correct answer is.....

 

[buffnut453]

Gotta be a Fouga Magister then.

 

[Geedee]

My apologies chaps, giving you b*m info when I said it was a low wing. I was looking at the cropped image and took the fillets you can just see as the wing not the engine fairing ! Doh ....yup, I knoww, I'm sacked !
I'll stop playing for a while and go hide in shame
Yup, well done sir.
Took these at my first visit to Oshkosh way back in 2004.

 

[Airframes]

That was a Fougan hard one !
I thought I was looking at the nose, you sneaky bar steward !

Well done Graeme.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Totally agree! That was a head scratcher.
