Steve’s Tour mini competition

Steve was VERY excited when he saw this… A very American name. But the questions are: where was it, and what was it on?

Good competition – Love it!

My guess is that it’s on the beer pump in the Swan Hotel at Lavenham?

It looks like an engine bit to me. I think the implied surprise at seeing it suggests that it was bolted to something English, and it was an airframe (must’ve been, have they seen anything else this week?) which was partly opened up, otherwise the photo couldn’t have been taken. So I’m guessing it was something at the RN Historical Flight, or perhaps that Yak-1 we saw on the photo.

Being Buick it is probably part of a tank. Did you do the Warfare hall? (you know that part of Duxford that is just outside Royston)

My guess is Sherman, the well known armoured fighting vehicle and cockney rhyming slang.
