No, its not that one, Maybe I should point out that this is the prototype, and it was going to be a military transport.

Time frame is wrong for this, but early Vickers VC10?

Ooh, Graeme you are getting very warm, and you are right when you say that the timeframe is wrong for the VC-10, so it must be........?

Does it help if I also say that this prototype never actually got to fly, for purely political reasons?

Hey, well found! I guess you know the answer now then

It was the Vickers V.1000, XD662, photographed at the point of cancellation

I've a confession on this one, I've forgotten what its called or where I got it from! So, over to you while I try to look it up again. Also I'll try to find some WW2 stuff tomorrow that (hopefully) isn't TOO obvious, though that may be a forlorn hope with you guys.

Narrow fusalage and high mounted tailplane reminds me of the Whirlwind, but it's probably unrelated.

I think you fobbed off your efforts on that forum Waynos. That was a great post. You should start a few threads like it here. In fact I tried to join it, but kept getting this...

"ERROR!

(What does it all mean?)

In your post you mentioned the Avro Atlantic. I've known about the Avro Atlantic for many years. It would be politically incorrect now, but I have an old British book, given to me many years ago, titled "The Boys Book of Aircraft" from around the early 50's. And from it..



It certainly would have looked "majestic". I like the spotters tips for a non-existent aircraft!
Anyway, moving on, heres another 'British subject' to identify...

Thank you Graeme, you're very kind. I am a bit in awe of the knowledge displayed by many of the members on this site and would feel a bit presumptious or preachy if I tried something like that on here. I did compose a light hearted post decrying the Defiant that you might like but this site has been running so long I'm sure I would be retreading over old ground. Even my last photo was a repeat it seems, which is hard to avoid for a newbie like me.

I love that scan, I adore old books like that, especially the ones that make predictions that never came true. I have some old Flights from 1939/40 (now available freely online to view anyway) which mention us having to make do with inferior American supplied aircraft in the early part of the war, one classic line is that the Douglas DB-7 is 'very nearly up to British standards however' - I'm sure Ed Heineman would be very grateful

There are also some excellent non existant German aircraft illustrated, including the 'deadly' Focke Wulf 198 twin boom pusher engined fighter, lol

Moving on to your photo, is it really British? It looks more French to me, like a Farman, but if it is British is it a Parnall?

Read that John Phillip Law, of "The Russians are Coming!" fame, died recently.
Didn't know that. That's sad. He was not bad as Richthofen in the old Roger Corman movie. And what great flying scenes. You just can't do that with computers. Is it that obvious that I don't like the new Red Baron movie?
