And the first one the Tornado F.2 (ADV)?

Evening all,

Is the 3rd one a F-102?

**Sapper145** · 09-10-2008, 20:04

And your second one a TU-22M1 Backfire?

**Sapper145** · 09-10-2008, 20:07

Changed my mind, the second one is a Mig 31-Foxhound

**box-of-frogs** · 09-10-2008, 20:17

I'll take the Backfire guess then!

**Magic_Mushroom** · 09-10-2008, 20:18

I'm not sure about your first. I'm tempted to say it's XX897, the Bucc fitted with the Foxhunter radar for trials. However, I don't think it had the pitot. Also your second and third are a Tu-22 and Su-24 respectively. I therefore believe the other may also be Soviet.

I need to do some more thinking...

...and bump as none of the suggestions so far has been correct.

MM,

The cam looks german with all the hexagons....... Getting warmer?

**Magic_Mushroom** · 09-10-2008, 20:24

BoF,

You are correct to pick up on the lozenge cam and, whilst not a German design, it certainly flew on the Kaisers side...

**Magic_Mushroom** · 09-10-2008, 20:32

I think I'll revise my stab at MDNs first pic as being a MiG-31 Foxhound.

**Archimedes** · 09-10-2008, 20:44

MM - suspect yours is a Aviatik Berg D1.

Will have to find my glasses before attacking MDN's first one.

Edit - with the aid of my optician, concur with MM that it's a Foxhound.
