Observer's badge, anyone?

And now, one for the jet-set

That would be the Fokker VFW 614

That would be right on the money, Ben! (though there is no cash prize this time)
Well done

That's an interesting Fokker. I suspect not the quietest of cabins seated next to those engines. Not the best idea out of the design bin that day.

[chrispbits]

I sit corrected. Apparently one of the advantages of the engine placement was low noise levels for passengers!

[TSR2]

Yep, a bespoke designed engine from Rolls specifically for the aircraft. It wasn’t a Fokker design, and certainly the view was that Fokker did their best to kill it.

[chrispbits]

Seemed also to suffer from less than clean air feeding the engines. I wonder where the design came from?

[511Flyer]

Designed in Australia.

[Motormouse]

Focke-Wulf design

I knew it straight away, as I've seen a real one. But Ben beat me to it.
