    Fair enough Steve,it was just a thought.I have to admit I have trouble telling the two apart without looking specifically for differences, like the cockpit glazing.

    Here’s a photo each of an Il-62 and VC 10-spot the difference!! 😮

    Could I suggest that the VC-10 Steve saw was in fact an Ilyushin Il62?They look almost identical from pretty much every angle,and there are plenty with odd number/letter registrations.
    Just a thought…

    Well,if it’s not a fighter Mk and it’s not a Pr Mk,my guess would be an unarmed T.IX dual control trainer.Seeing as it’s in an overall pale colour,I’ll take a wild stab at it being on the Irish Air Corps machines in the mid-late 60’s.
    Location?Not the foggiest,but i’ll take a stab at Baldonnel as it’s a an airfield I know the Irish flew Spits from.
    Close???Thought not…:)

    Looks like the rear part of the canopy from a Fokker S.11 Instructor.
    Close??

    “‘Vreeburghal’ is the name of the hangar (= hal, as in ‘hall’) in which it’s preserved. Named after engineer Vreeburg “

    Aha! Thanks Arthur,it’s a good thing your English is better than my Dutch. 😀

    Does anyone know where in London they intend to moor the aircraft?Will it be up in the old London dock by Tower Bridge? IIRC, the Sunderland was moored up there on onw or two occasions in the 80’s.

    The bi-annual SBAC show is being held from July 19th through to the 25th (the 24th and 25th being the main public show days as usual).I dunno what will be in attendance,though.
    As you may already know,the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST) Museum opened their doors late last year.Last I heard,they are open on weekends only,although I guess it’s possible they might be arranging special opening times and events during Farnborough week.Might be an idea to get in touch with them via the website…

    Am I allowed a second guess?? What about…

    Mk.IX MJ730

    Early 90’s

    No idea of location

    I’ll go along with Flood’s idea of it being an S14,so perhaps it’s the example on display at the Militaire Luchtvart Museum at Vreeburghal?
    Location courtesy of a quick Google. 😉

    I’ve just re-read James’ post and realised it can’t be MH434-doh! I take back my previous guess,can I have another go??? 😀

    Ok,my guess would now be the Australian Mk.VIII once owned by Col Pay,now at Temora.

    Tyabb?

    Early 90’s when she first flew after restoration?

    Am I at all close??

    …she’s slightly cleaner on the other side,but still pretty tatty and faded…

    Here’s a photo of the Swift on the plinth taken by Plazz last year.The owner simply isn’t willing to let go of it,so she continues to deteriorate.Although her condition isn’t great,I had a close look at her last year and her condition isn’t as bad as you might think.Having said that,she still needs saving ASAP.
    It pains me to post this photo…:(
