Thanks Joe, good info.

Still thinking about this one (It looks very familiar to me, but I can't tie down the bl**dy thing !). It is a sneaky one mate, not sure if its a Mass Balance / Horn, but I'll think on it some more tonight.

So I'll start the ball rolling with a Pilatus Turbo Porter

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Pilatus Turbo Porter. What you're looking at is the base of the venturi tube.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I ain't got a clue!!

F-100 Super Sabre ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think Terry has it. It's on the nose of a Thunderbirds F-100.

 

[T Bolt]

Very good Terry!! I didn't think anyone would get it that fast. I had a lot of clues to torture you guys with.

 

[Airframes]

One of those which seemed familiar, and the clue about names clinched it - I also remembered The Thunderbirds used F-100s, with red around the nose area, and there was bound to be one in a museum somewhere. Pure luck!
I'll dig out something and post it later.

 

[Airframes]

OK, try this. A bit sneaky, but shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Geedee]

B-26 Marauder ?

 

[Airframes]

Not a Marauder.

 

[Capt. Vick]

PBY?

 

[Airframes]

Not a PBY either. It's quite large .......

 

[norab]

B-24 ?

 

[razor1uk]

Lancaster or Stirling?
I can see plenty of small area panels with lots of rivets ahead, ajoining another lesser panelled fuz/necel section mounts at left of pic - as to the bulge/fairing and what is placed upon it, I am not sure...

 

[Geedee]

B-24 ?

This has a large round fuselage by the looks of it, not squared off like the '24

Wondering if its a good old 'Fat Albert (C130 ) but the wing shoulder looks too low

 

[Airframes]

Not a B24 or Lancaster, and definitely not a Stirling as there aren't any left (apart from one known on the sea bed off Denmark). Not 'Fat Albert' either, although it has got four engines.

 

[T Bolt]

Mars?

 

[Geedee]

Queen of the Skies...VC10 ?

 

[Airframes]

Not a Mars, or a VC-10. It's a piston-engined kite. Another clue, there's a bit missing .......
