You were all extremely clever recognising the shorts 360 in the last (very zoomed in) photo. This picture is alot clearer but Im afraid I still don't recognise them! (don't laugh please Grin

)

I think they are used for fire training at Bristol "International" Airport. I would quite like to include them in my scenery.

Could this be it? The Martin 404.

If so I haven't seen one for many years.

I don't know about the other one. All I can think of is the HS 121 Trident. Jet airliners all look much the same to me. Wink

PS. I originally thought the prop was a Vickers Varsity.
On 2nd thoughts this might have been correct after all. Undecided

I think Hagar is correct about the Trident and the white one is a Varsity without a rudder or nose.

after a search Hagar and hawker look correct. the 1 and 3 engines are to small to be a TU154

I'm with Hagar. I can recognize a 747, 737 and a 777 (if the gear is down). An Airbus A340 is the only real 4 enjine jet flying that is not a 747, a 767 has the gear backwards when landing (they tilt forward) and any big twin jet with the engines mounted on the fuselage, I call a MD80. Obviously I know a MD-11..

But after that, I'm lost. How these guys can sit there and say "Oh, that's a 757-400 (or whatever)" is beyond me. Roll Eyes

Everybody ignored the poor old light aircraft in the right hand side.

Looks like a Rallye to me

Poor thing...

To be honest I missed it. You might be correct but looking at the state it's in it could be almost anything. Roll Eyes

I see everyone agreed with me on the other two - makes a nice change. Tongue

I used a little Hagar logic in my deductions. As the photo is of Bristol Airport in the UK I assumed that they were more likely to be British types. This reduced the odds considerably. Wink
