Re: PESO x 2: RAF (WWII) Wings?

2017-10-11 Thread John 

I'm going to say Vampire. The wings appear to taper on both the leading and 
trailing edges. The Venom looks to have tapered only on the leading edge.

Plus, in a Google image search only the Vampires appear to have those yellow 
bands outboard of the booms.

in one of those sheds?


I'm thinking he has some FANTASTIC modifications in mind for the
Morris Minor! Wings and a jet engine!

Stubs of a twin boom tail,
jet intakes in the wing roots,
straight trailing edge (at least I think it's straight - difficult to
tell in the photo)
that shape of wheel well..
 -> de Havilland Venom, without the optional wingtip tanks

If the trailing edges aren't straight then it's the earlier Vampire

Big question is "Why are they on that farm?"
