[Airframes]

Hmm. Maybe that Saunders Roe experimental thingy - can't remember the name or number though.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Hmmm...

That looks like the thingy above the cockpit of Flash Gordon's spaceship....right?

I think you're right!

 

[Geedee]

Flash has told me that he hasn't flown this babe...yet...but an astronaut has !!. And its not a Saunder roe.

Its a single seat, nosewheel jobbie...and its a one-off !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It might be an X-15 but I think there were three or more of them.

 

[Geedee]

Not an X-15 but it was experimental !

 

[woljags]

fairey delta 1

 

[herman1rg]

Is it one of those NASA lifting bodies?

 

[Geedee]

Good try guys but not quite there yet. Its not a FD 1 or a NASA jobbie

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

XP-55 Ascender? But there where three of these.

 

[woljags]

i'm trying to rack my brain as to the name of the experimental jet sea plane at duxford,is it that

 

[Airframes]

Think it's one of the experimental jobbies at Cosford, but don't know the name.

 

[Geedee]

Its not an Ascender and its not a seaplane.

It could fly as slow as just under 70 !!!

 

[woljags]

maybe a fairey gyrocopter

 

[woljags]

or even a hawker siddeley Kestral

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I know exactly what it is!!!!! It's the thingamadoodle on top of the whatchamajigger that rotates the doodlemabob at the end of the thing that know one can name.

 

[T Bolt]

I think Aaron has it!

 

[Geedee]

I think Aaron has it!

No he hasn't...he didn't say if it was either a right or left handed doobrie !

Ok chaps, some clues...some good, some not so good

Its not a gyrocopter or a Kestrel.

It's a single seat, its got a fixed undercart, its got a single engine

And its got black paint on it !

Its a British design

While it could fly as slow as 70ish, it brothers could do Mach 2 !

And I've seen it !!!

If you follow the clues on this handy page, you'll be sure to find it !

 

[Crimea_River]

Can you confirm that you have not turned the picture 90 degrees?

 

[Geedee]

Can you confirm that you have not turned the picture 90 degrees?

Nope....i've even turned my monitor on its side to check .

I've looked at it 115 times and its still the right way !

You are looking at the tail fin and the 'plane is pointing right to left.

I can stand by it and look over the canopy its that low
