Whats this, any plane spotters in?

Hmm, my obscure Google searches are merely bringing up Reindeer porn....

Not necessarily a bad thing!

Darthspud,
Whatever that is, it's not one of those.

I hate to think of people suffering, so have another bit ...

**SparkySteve** · 06-12-2007, 22:37

Is that a ducted fan type?

**nodandawink** · 06-12-2007, 22:56

Fargo? (Mig-9)

S-S,
Yes, indeed it is!

I thought you were on the right track there, S-S, but no, that's not it.

It's not that peculiar Whittaker thingy that hangs in a shopping centre, is it?

If it is, prize for most obscure offering in 1200 pages to INASty!

Edit - For 'thingy' read 'MW2B', which I will freely admit to having to look up.

Cheers Archie, i can find Google references to the "Whittaker Excalibur G-BDDX" but no pictures of the obscure bugger

Resides in the Flambards park in Cornwall, apparently. I remember going there a lot as a kid when we used to surf off of the coast, i wonder if that's where i saw it??

Thats the badger! Don't remember it though, oh well.

Nice one, ExINASty

The master strikes again.

The Whitaker MW2B Excaliber, now on display at the Trago Mills shopping centre at Newton Abbott.

I've often wondered just what the disagreement was that stopped it from flying again.

**Magic_Mushroom** · 06-12-2007, 23:43

Archie, now even I think you need to get out more! Truly obscure!!!

**Archimedes** · 06-12-2007, 23:50

Comes from hours of displacement activity in evading Strat and Pol marking, MM....

(In truth, I remembered some reference to a ducted fan type in a shopping centre from Pprune).
