Shackleton, eight miles

If it is from an F4

It is F-4 Phantom without a doubt.
Those stamps are handy, AMS 4911 is aerospace grade titanium sheeting, the TI also backs up the Titanium content.
It looks like the leading edge is possibly made from a higher TI content metal?

How well would Spey have fitted into Crusader? Significantly shorter & lighter than the J57, more thrust – but a bit fatter. Hmmm.
:

A-7 Corsair II!

The thread seems to have deviated a little from Wild Weasels to irrelevant UK carrier aviation benefitting from US types could have beens.

Surely most EFs / WW were fighter derived (usualy converted), the F-105 and 111 obviously being on the very fringes of that bracket, but even the former was agile enough and had knocked MiGs out of the sky and both had good crew positions.
the TSR-2 was too catered for the role of very fast, low-level, nuclear delivery but with size, cost, complexity and restricted crew look out going against it to have been an effective Weasel.

I’m wondering if camera doors might have been left in place from the Survey Prince days? As we know know some Pembrokes had recon equipment fitted.
They look too big for normal access panels, did they have the capability to drop paractice flares etc?

Nice pictures Brian, what are the panels that seem to be open in the last shot?

Lovely shots of what looks like a great museum, agree with above comment about light and airy nature of the place.
Thanks for sharing.

lovely clear and sharp pictures David, looks like the Avenger is dying to get out!

Lovely picture, not sure it is at Culdrose though?

Drives me bonkers!

It drives you bonkers because you don’t listen to anyone else’s input, and when you see something that you don’t agree with you assume that it’s wrong.
The problem is people take notice of what you say and then it looks bad on the museum that you’re having a go at.

The Sea Pince trainers were delivered in silver with yellow bands, they then recieved International Orange (not day-glo!), I’m unsure if the reddish colour superceded that scheme or appeared along side as you see both in similar eras, but the reddish orange definitely existed, as Lauriebe’s link above shows.

As for FAA trainers in general, as far as I’m aware they wore silver with yellow bands until the light grey (or silver on some) and International orange scheme came about, the only FAA trainer I’ve seen to wear flou/dayglo is the Sea Balliol at Cosford, but that was a trials machine.
I think some of the misinformation of dayglo use comes from old colour pictures where the colours don’t reproduce properly.
