dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thanks John, OK i'll give you an easy one. You're in hostile territory, you've got close to an airfield, an aircraft comes in to land, .....but is it freind or foe?......and what is it? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Heinkel He-219 Uhu? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 LOL, told you it was easy, It certainly is the Heinkel 219. this is the original screenshot of it.... One of the best aircraft of WW2. Had radar, ejection seats and all sorts of other tech on it. Eric (winkle) Brown tested one and said it was a superb aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 This one should be easy enough. Funnily enough I'm dismantalling the model of this at the moment, but it will be put back together as I haven't shot it to bits Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Low mileage, lovingly maintained and always hangared. Only flown to church on Sundays by a sweet little old lady. ...but I don't know what it is. John Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Kind'a looks like a BAC TSR2 to me. John Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Most definately!! TSR-2. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Gone before I saw it, - A sad end to beautiful aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Correct John A - XR219, the only TSR-2 to fly and shot to bits. Luckily two survive, XR220 (which nearly, nearly, nearly flew!) at Cosford and XR222 at Duxford. XR220 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/111752039@N08/14561457948/in/set-72157645942886735 Over to you then JA! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 OK - John A has said that he can't post at the moment, so since Alan was the one that confirmed it - over to you! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh ok, thanks Kieran, Right this time guys and gals, a slightly tougher one(possibly). What is it? What is it's registration? Where is it?.......This aircraft has been in the same spot for many years. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Know it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 It looks like a very sick Trident in the 1977 colours. where it is and its registration... I haven't a clue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 You've got the aircraft JG, the reg and location are quite widely known due to what happened to it. ( so now you need to find out where abandoned Tridents are hiding!) Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 is it:- HS Trident 1E, British Airways, G-AVYD, at Bilbao, Spain. I cant think that there were many trident accidents that would have left the aircraft mostly intact. The Bilbao accident was an aborted takeoff so I should imagine that it was that one.

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not that one John, it wasn't accidental damage. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well, it might have been accidental if they didn't intend on hitting it with a few rounds! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 It is indeed Cyprus, Nicosia in fact, The aircraft is a Trident, so now all we need is the reg, Link to post Share on other sites
