Might as well.

Here you go guys it's a Harrier Mk52 which was a one-off for the Skyhook system suggested for use on non aircraft carriers. aircraft is at Brooklands museum in Weybridge.

Grinning idiot in cockpit is me.

 

[Airframes]

B*gg*r ! Knew that canopy frame was familiar! I would never have got it though - I'd exhausted my Harrier options.
Nice one! Your turn again mate.

 

[herman1rg]

Here's the next one guys.

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. Another tough one. I'm guessing tail wheel rather than nose wheel, judging by the shape and size of the yoke, and looks British. Hmm, now what can it be. I thought Mosquito at first, but the proportions are wrong, and the yoke the wrong shape. B*gg*r, another brain-burner !!!

 

[herman1rg]

Not a Mosquito

 

[Smoke]

Beaufighter?

 

[T Bolt]

Beaufighter yoke had a round section not flat. It looks a lot like the same style as the MC 200 main gear yoke so thats my answer. Macchi MC 200

 

[herman1rg]

Not Beaufighter or Macchi

Clue it's Post WWII

 

[magnu]

Hawker Sea Fury ?

 

[herman1rg]

Not a Sea Fury.

Clue; it's a nosewheel

 

[T Bolt]

Meteor?

 

[rochie]

at first glance i thought Vampire, but isn't there a door covering the strut ?

 

[Smoke]

Mig-15?

 

[Waynos]

It might be the Hawker Sea Hawk?

 

[Airframes]

I was about to offer Sea Hawk, but the profile depth of the tyre seems high for the little 'Hawk. Another one I'll have to think about !

 

[Geedee]

Looks kinda 'spindly' to withstand fast landings so I'm going to go with a chopper of some sort...Dragonfly ?

 

[herman1rg]

No correct answer so far

 

[Geedee]

Ok....is it a jet ?

 

[herman1rg]

Yes Geedee it's a jet
