A baker’s dozen of offbeat pictures from 1967-2006, split across twwo postings. Mainly bits of airframe as seen from the self-loading cargo zone, plus a few more for good luck.
I reckon they range from the dead easy to the fairly tricky. A point each, plus bonuses for identifying the scenery below and for spotting the one that isn’t a real aeroplane.
No prizes – just a smug feeling for those with maximm marks.

OK, it’s answers time. Between you all, you got 100 per cent on this batch.
From top left: HS 748 (somewhere over the North Sea, Liverpool-Rotterdam, November 1980); Yak-141 (Farnborough 1992); Transall C160 (Upper Heyford, 1971); Messerschmitt Bf110 (as flown by one R Hess, Duxford, July 1978); Airspeed Ambassador (Schiphol-Liverpool April 1967); Boeing 737 (Manchester-Gatwick, over Farnborough, April 2004).

1. “Avro” 748
2.
3. Transal C-160
4. IS the Bf.110 fuselage (taken at Duxford judging by the hangar door in the background.)
5. I think is an Ambassador

[QUOTE=’lectra]4. Isn’t a real aeroplane – not Hess’s Bf110 but the replica seen recently on eBay (built for a television program and mentioned on these forums)[/QUOTE]
I’m pretty certain that’s the Hess fuselage. The replica ‘110 was much more substantially complete than that.

1. HS748
3. C160

What do you mean by ‘not a real aeroplane’?
My vote for that goes to no3.

2 = Yak 141 ‘Freestyle’
3 = C-160 Transall
4 = Constellation ?

Yep, you’re right, slightly different to a B52 :rolleyes:

The airfield in the last one is Farnborough.
By: DazDaMan - 10th April 2006 at 22:07
No4 definitely looks like the rear fuselage (or what remains of it) of Rudolph Hess’s Bf110.
