Humour me, how many different aircraft can you see in this picture? Everytime I count, I get a different figure!

I know there are people on this forum that could ID every aircraft seen, by serial number in a heartbeat too!

I’m getting 19, but unsure if object just showing either side of Sunderland tail is an aircraft!

I.D.? The one in the middle is an Avro Vulcan, serial XJ824, and how’s this for info, it is painted in 101 sqn colours!

Make that 20, just spotted Concorde at base of pic.
Here’s what I think the aircraft are, Concorde, TSR.2, York, Whirlwind, Oxford, Avro 100, Dove, Comet, Vulcan, Jag, Strikey, Tornado, Spitfire, Lancaster, Anson, Auster?, Sunderland, Hastings, Lysander (wing tip!), and one other!

Am I right in thinking all those aircraft are British bar the CF 100 ?

Remember like the Concorde, the Jaguar is half-French and the Whirlwind is a U.S. design.

Other than that, not a lot of national diversity in the room.

Blue 2. Excellent spotting of Lightning ! but maybe the wing above the Anson’s engine could be a Magister / Hawk type thingy ? Someone will tell us what it is !!!

Vulcan XJ824
Lightning XM135
TSR2. XR222
Sunderland ML796
Spitfire VN485
Oxford V3388
Comet G-APDB
Harrier XZ133
Hawk G-AFBS

Those are all that I could do without looking. And I can see only 21. 🙁
