It's a ringer for the Bede but isn't because of the tailplane position. Can't see a prop though - looks more like a minijet.

You have it HarmoniousDragmaster . It is the Fairey F155T 'Delta III project. Quote: Fairey drew on their experience with the Fairey Delta 2 (FD2). Their first proposal was a single-engined fighter development of the existing FD2, which was felt to have good export potential although it did not meet the RAF criteria laid down in O.R. F.155. A larger twin-engined design tailored to the operational requirement followed on from this, which...

TCF. Yes, Waller Field. We got there eventually ! Interesting place. Waller Field, named after US Army Air Force Major Alfred J Waller a distinguished WW 1 pilot. During WW 2 Waller Field was a major transit airfield for US troops bound for Europe. In March 42 there were 130,000 US troops on Trinidad, whose own population was 450,000. From Waller Field troops went to Belem, Brazil, then on to Sierra Leone, North West Africa and on to Europe....

That was a toughie, Bradenav!!! Well done, Skytrain. I could see something Loire Nieuport about the rudders, but I couldn't find any reference to them designing a twin landplane.

In his BBC TV series The Making of Modern Britain, Andrew Marr last night referred to ACM Sir Arthur Bomber Harris with the alternative moniker Butcher . Id always thought the nickname coined for him by his men in Bomber Command was actually Butch which, in the 1940s, didnt have the connotations it has today, but simply meant vigorous or forceful.
So, is the pejorative ...

Makes you want to scream at the tv! I was at Gatwick once and a man was telling his son that a particular aircraft was a type which was totally wrong. I wanted to say something but didnt as it might have made him feel stupid in front of his child.

I believe the incident you refer to is when John Leeming shot down an A4 using his 30mm Aden cannons.
John was an ex-Lightning pilot who had done the "very" short Sea Harrier course and then come down to the South Atlantic onboard the Atlantic Conveyer. He and several others flew onboard HMS Hermes just before the AC was hit and sunk in an excocet attack by Argentinean Super Etendards.

I am no historian but I guess it would certainly be before India gained Independence and/or the partition of the country and the ensuing religious nastiness.
Just found this with Google which seems to suggest that the RAF were gone before independence.
Chaklala was already functioning as an RIAF station well before independence and a Para Training School (PTS) was located there. On ...

One of the principal air lines of Asia-Cathay Pacific, operated both
Convair 880s from the 60's through to the end of the Vietnam war and also
operated early versions of the 300 series Boeing 707 (ex Northwest)-with
BOTH pilots and flight engineers.

Don't forget that CPA ( Canadian Pacific Airlines) also operated Comet 1's briefly. I'm not certain they ever achieved scheduled service but, if memory serves correctly, the Karachi takeoff accident was a CPA Comet 1 on a round-the-world proving flight which rotated early and failed to become airborne, due to excessive drag and/or loss of engine thrust.
I believe later Comets had a protruding...

Well, iirc the F8 Crusader had the opposite system that allowed the odd pilot to get airborne without his wingtips, indeed without the better part of his wings...yet with skill and some luck they could (occasionally) be reinstated later in flight.
To complete the "opposite" theme this was considered too risky to be tried under test conditions, but sometimes worked under uncontrolled (!!) ...
