    Part of the only photo where I didn’t manage to avoid getting re-enactors and red/yellow jacket photographers in the way! (I paid 4 quid to get pictures of the aircraft, thanks!).
    I aplogise for my grumpiness, but as both my father and myself served in the RAF, re-enactors just get up my nose!
    “Get some in” as we used to say.

    Sorry, Albert, I must admit I thought the nose was a bit too long . . . and I did mention that it was short of markings.
    Must go to Rome again some time . . . last time was with the ex and we only looked at monuments that were a bit older – 2000 years older!
    Anyway, it was a nice picture that I received from Mike J!

    Sorry to spoil the fun, but here’s a really long list!

    Excellent web site and a great idea, especially for those of us on this side of the North Sea! Good luck with sponsors, I suppose you have already tried SKF, Saab, Volvo, Semcon, etc.
    I will be contacting you by E-mail as soon as I return to Göteborg from the Duxford show this weekend, when does your season for passengers end in Sweden?

    SM 79 at Vigna di Valle

    That would be this one then, photographed by MikeJ on 24 September 2004 in Italy.
    Not much in the way of markings, though!

    DH Sea Venom at Newark Air Museum

    According to the web site, this is a Sea Venom FAW.22, which I photographed at Newark Air Museum this year, at almost the same angle as the mystery photo – look at the difference in the nose wheel strut arrangement . . .

    This is the thread I put up after my visit in August 2003; the aircraft had long since been moved from Mud Island (shown in Mark12’s photo at post #3)

    Flood, was “fuselarge” an unintended mistype? Seems to be apposite, though, for an aircraft claimed by Melv to be “fat”.

    Taylor Aerocar

    Here’s the Taylor Aerocar that was on display in the EAA Museum at Oshkosh in 2004 (I suppose it’s still there!).

    Thank you, Taylorman!
    But you still haven’t said what happened to the other 4 engines!
