Looks like a tornado wi out the wings and cockpit slung underneath the vulcan.

Or is it britains cheap way of entering the space race. Take one redundant vulcan and stick a feck off big engine on it.

Other than that, I aint got a clue. Wots it all about then??? :dunno:

The colour, ... They left it still on the runway for half an hour.


And my missus decided it needed bloodypainting!

Was it something to do with tests for the Concord engines and the new air pressure flaps?
:dunno:

Murt.

Well done shalershasker..... it's a modern IFR suite and GPS....

 

[Duck n Dive]

Anyone want to hazard a guess what aircraft this cockpit belongs to??

(There's an easy clue)

 

[Shalershasker]

X-3 Stilleto (however the hell you spell it).

 

[Duck n Dive]

This really is a goody.... anyone want to guess which famous person owned the aircraft that this cockpit shot is from???

Bonus points if you know the aircraft type...

 

[Duck n Dive]

Shaler... you done it again...... blew up the piccie and read it or did you know?

Douglas X-3 Stilleto

And here it is from the outside.
