In the words of Monty Python and now for something completely different.
As the title implies the pictures are of noses, tails or other odd bits of aircraft.
My original idea was for 15 pics of varying difficulty in indentification but I got carried away and ended up with over 30. The idea is a little quiz to sort out those who are interested, the enthusiasts and the total OTT anoraks among us. If you get 5 right you are interested, 10 you’re an enthusiast and 15 you are the anorak’s anorak. (I guess I fall into that category):D What part of what type?

Otherwise, well done! You are truly an anorak’s anorak! 😀
I knew we had a few on here but I didn’t realise that we are so numerous:D I’d put up another 15 for your delight but I’m almost at my limit for posting pics so I guess I really should waith until I have something more important to post.

Some of them are too easy and hopefully I’ve managed to find some real horrors for you. Here are the remaining 5. As I say there are at least enough for a re run with another set if anyone is interested. Needless to say TwoBoomsAreBest is exclude from the quiz as he was with me at the time the photos were taken
