Jon.

 

[Jakko]

Very close, but very far away at the same time

Was Jon missing the NATO designation of 'Fishbed' C?

 

[Jakko]

Maybe this photo will help:

 

[Lee W]

Is this the PD version... short take off landing?

Lee

 

[Jakko]

No, they’re regular takeoff aircraft. Look at the details in the second photo

 

[Lee W]

Nope... can't see it!?

[Jon Heptonstall]

Do I smell Americans?
Jon.

 

[Tim Marlow]

OK, sticking with a theme, cos you haven’t said that they’re not MiG 21s, left hand plane with reverse canopy opening is a MiG-21 PFM or earlier, and the others are MiG-21 SM or later.

 

[Jakko]

Do I smell Americans?

You do.

OK, sticking with a theme, cos you haven’t said that they’re not MiG 21s

That would be correct

left hand plane with reverse canopy opening is a MiG-21 PFM or earlier, and the others are MiG-21 SM or later.

For all I know, they might be. But those are not the correct designations … :evilgrin:

 

[Tim Marlow]

So it’s the 4477 th test evaluation squadron?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Which means these could be Shenyang F7-Bs? Though I still think the one with the reverse canopy is a PFM or earlier, probably one of the Indonesian batch...
But called YF -110s in American use....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Final answer, YF-110B for the reverse opening early model, and YF-110C for the Chengdu J-7B...

 

[Lee W]

4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron MiG-21F-13

I'd say Tim's go

Lee

 

[Jakko]

Final answer, YF-110B for the reverse opening early model, and YF-110C for the Chengdu J-7B...

That’s the designation I was fishing for Like I said, I wanted the correct designation for the planes in these pictures — implying that I wasn’t after their more usual one

 

[Tim Marlow]

OK then, something that looks like it could be from International Rescue.....

What is it and how does it work....

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

I think that's a Zil 29061.
Designed for retrieving cosmonauts from wet and marshy areas. Uses twin screws on the Archimedes screw principle.
Jon.

 

[Tim Marlow]

That’s the baby.....strange looking thing I think.....You’re on then Jon...

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Bet that thing made a mess.
What vehicle?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Is that a centurion BARV?
