Guess the Lanc………

Sorry, James, I was only trying to illustrate your point . . .
Peter (Watch out, I might turn up in Oz one day!)

sorry James, not Easy Kirkby. Although point A was quite close 😉

Not sure about all those bandwagon jumpers ~sniff~ Anyone can back up someone else’s guess. (Although the flash eliminators was a useful corroboration. Wasn’t a Flash Eliminator some spaceship mentioned in a Queen song? ) 😀

Answer to new Quiz:

A: Very personal light show depicting the owner’s name in a field.

B: Just Jane strutting her NX611 stuff…

another clue……… it was taken on saturday 21/01/06 at 1030pm. Now for those of you who can steer by the stars you may have a clue. No photoshopping here 😉

Clues-

-Historic Aviation related

-In the UK

…thats all im giving away. Suffice to say its not in Iraq and its not one of the pyro shows im afraid Lancman. Good guess though.

Phew, I got my guess in just at the right moment then! Yay!

Quiz 2…hmmm…a pyro show at East Kirkby?

Anyone care to guess where this and perhaps what is going on?

Looks like a bad day in Baghdad to me – lemme guess, is it something astronomical?

Peter,

your prize is……..another quiz 🙂

What do we get …what do we get…?

congratulations to those who guessed correctly. It is indeed the Lambeth nose section. The effect of ‘darkness’ is purely created using off camera flash at 1/2 power. The background appears black because the background is far away enough for the flash to fall out due to the relatively low output.

Took the pictures on Thursday during a research trip.

I’d vote for ‘Old Fred’ too!

gotta be one of the nose sections either dv372 or kb885

I’ll go with DV372 on the basis that the .303’s in the first pic are without their flash eliminators, and Papa Lima’s photo shows them to be missing on DV372.

I do, PL. Thanks.

Who says it’s in darkness? Could be being clever. 😉 (As anny fule kno.)

Clues. 2 x .303, possibly at an angle, with some aging in the barrels. Not tail, unlikely to be mid upper, ergo nose.

A shot side on to the nose bomb-aimer’s position. Not even I’m that tall with a full Lanc.

It’s in a museum where it gets a lot of fondling (or did) rather than new paint and not being touched (pic 2).

Hatton’s implying it’s his pic, so it’s not the nose at the Canada Av Mus.

Not PA474 cos it’s not glossy enough.

Of course it don’t stop me from being quite wrong, Chiz. 😀

Looks too bright to be the IWM one. Unless you snuck in at night?

Lancasters in darkness. Other than Hendon and AWM, I can only think of the one at Motat which is reasonably dark, or maybe the French one in its restoration hangar.

Unless it’s outside darkness, then it could be the BBMF one if not Just Jane.

Not too many more to choose from, sadly.

Do you mean this one, James?

RAAF operated Lancaster nose in the IWM – DV372, PO-F

one last clue before bed,

Given your recent travels, it would most likely be KB944 in the Canadian Aviation Museum (You did get to Ottawa, didn’t you?)

sadly not, toronto was the only place that got a visit in Canada in the end (plus the falls on the way back over the border)

here is a picture of FM104 that we did get the chance to see one rainy morning.

Keep guessing folks…….
