Guess This Aircraft ?


Recommended Posts

Here's one for you eagle eyed cockpit spotters,. . NOW, I don't recognise this one myself. Looking at the shoulder flash on the pilot's suit, it looks like a Commonwealth style badge, poss RAF.

 

I DID think, looking at the type of very early throttle quadrant that it could be an Avro Shackleton. . .I have actually flown in one of these at the tender age of 14 yrs, out of RAF Kinloss in Scotland.on air cadets annual camp. I was on board for five hours, and was allowed to sit in the Right hand seat for half an hour. . .On closer examination of the throttle quad, it might have two engines, which would rule out the Shack. . .and the overhead panel looks a bit modernish too . . . ..My Shack flight was a night sortie in 1964 and my memory is,. . .er, where was I going with this. . .hello. . do I know you ?. . .

Nope. #630 has a person in it so not a drone.

 

Still on offer ... who will find it?

 

Note - it’s a still frame from a video of the flight I have so nobody can reverse image search it :-P

One off. No production plans. It was/is the design of an aero engineer - his fantasy.

Looks like the design of a committee Kasper........the same one that designed the gnu...............)
