The What is it? Game (13 Viewers)

We have a winner! Was it the CF-105 reference, KiwiBiggles? Potentially world beating, political intrigue, hated by bean counters, cancelled prematurely, much in common with the CF-105.

Fourth prototype TSR.2 XR222 at Duxford. I was wondering if anyone would have noticed the engine trunking in the ceiling of the bay.

 

[KiwiBiggles]

Yes, the CF-105 link was the giveaway.

I'll have to dig around tonight to find something to post.

 

[GrauGeist]

Well done!

 

[KiwiBiggles]

 

[norab]

Hurricane ?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Kiwi, I would have never guessed that one, well done sir!

 

[Clayton Magnet]

Hawker Tempest?

 

[KiwiBiggles]

Well done. Hawker Tempest II.

 

[nuuumannn]

Dagnabbit, missed out again; too busy sleeping. RAF Museum's Tempest II PR536 - background gives it away.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Wow! You guys are good.

Jeez, I gave you a time-zone advantage and everything!

sgkjngiut #@%!^*! night shift...

 

[Clayton Magnet]

Well Nuuumann, seeing as how you were minutes away from guessing correctly, and I am now stuck on night shift, perhaps you would like to take the baton? I really dont have any pictures to post at the moment.

 

[nuuumannn]

and I am now stuck on night shift,

Someone's gotta do it, eh, Clayton?

What's this off, then?

 

[GrauGeist]

pretty obvious that it's the death-ray generator on Buck Roger's spaceship...

 

[nuuumannn]

Ha haaa!

 

[Airframes]

I'll have a stab at a Shackleton MR3.

 

[nuuumannn]

Yep, I figured someone with an eye for detail would get this relatively quickly, Terry.

Newark Air Museum's Shack MR.3. The picture is of the AS Viper intake just aft of the outer engine; you can see its exhaust protruding below the engine nacelle. There was a cover that retracted over the intake when not in use, it's also visible here.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done Terry!

 

[GrauGeist]

Way to go!
