Yeah, the good old "crop-the-picture"-approach. I like that. This one's the Blackburn B-54. Got killed because of the Fairey Gannett, which was my first thought on this one.

No doubt about it Krabat. The Blackburn B-54 serial no. WB 788. It was photographed at Boscombe Down somewhere around 1950 sporting a small aerodynamic 'fix' under the tailplane which almost cured rudder tramping.

I was thinking along Gannet lines too, but something didn't seem quite right

Graeme, of course you also know the name of the photographer, his white haired grandmother and the colour of the shoes he wore on this day? You left it out only because you're such a modest guy

Impressed as always,
Krabat

Hi Krabat!

MiG-21I "Analog"

Interesting aircraft Krabat. The 'name' depends on which decade the reference book was published. From the 80's it was called the MiG A-144. From the 90's it was called the Mig 21I Analog. Either way it was derived from a Mig 21S in order to investigate the wing for the Tupolev Tu-144. But the silly thing was that the Analog flew two years later than planned, such that the paint was dry and Tu-144 SSS-68001 was already undergoing ground testing.





(Do you want the photographer's name and shoe size Krabat? Where's Chris these days?)

Back to me. Another one...

The only thing I can say that this plane has the main body from an Sukhoi Su-11. But the wings?

Well, I could go with his GRU-file this time. Chris is fine, he emailed me an hour ago. I will see him tomorrow in my kitchen. He's very good at killing my stores of czech beers. Gotta find something to keep him busy, maybe peeling potatoes.

For the new one, I've no idea yet. Looks american, right? Big radial. But the tail is strange.
