Jaguar XX109???
Landed in 450yds and took off in 600. There is a picture taken from the other side in Andy Evans Crowood Press book “Sepecat Jaguar”.

Hydraulic lock is a serious business and can cause a substantial amount of damage and I think I’m right in saying that pulling the prop thro by hand is only to indicate if a lock is present not clear it – you still have to take the plugs out for that surely???
Interesting point about the DB and Junkers inverted engines – even though they are dry sump there must be enough residual oil that could collect and potentially cause damage?

What about Boeing 747-121 N473ev that starred in Die Hard 2 – amazing how an engine can ingest a man whole and not suffer any ill effects……..

How about “Flying Tigers” starring John Wayne and John Carroll which was made in 1942. Plenty of mock-up P-40’s with no elevators or ailerons but with the very unusual Capelis XC-12 which was a real aircraft that basically ended up as just a film prop.

Spitfire flown past Blackbushe in formation with 4 smaller aircraft about 30 mins ago. They went on to do a display at Farnborough. Haven’t come back this way.

Very large biplane just flown over Blackbushe heading east – only saw it at the last minute so I’m not 100% certain but could it have been the Vimy?

Heading south past Fleet on the M3 yesterday – flatbed lorry with 4 wheel main undercarrige bogey and an engine on the back.
Engine had an air intake (turbocompressor) in the pylon so maybe a JT3D from a 707???

An IL18 might turn out to be a good call….I certainly don’t think it’s a DC4. Engine nacelles are to long and the wing is slender with square(ish) tips.
