The SAAB FLB (Fat little blighter) didn't fool anyone.
Real name SAAB J-29F Tunnan, which translates as Barrel.
Heaps knew this one
PeteP, Mick (woody901), Brian (Bridon Bear), Ben (TSR2), AllanL, Joe (blanston12), Eric (Tomliner), Simon (simondix), Brian Franklin, and Keith (Dev One).
Well done all of you.
The photo used was of one at Southend in 1968.

The book described it as a NF Mk XIII; I have yet to find details sufficient to visually tell it from a NF Mk XII, so any entries for either get a diamond badge. The wing aerials and thimble nose mark it as a XII or early XIII. Later XIIIs had the bulbous "universal" nose to accommodate the surprise, surprise, larger American, radar kit. Earlier NFs had the arrow head radar and kept the 4 guns in the nose.
PeteP, Brian (Bridon Bear), Keith (Dev One), DaveG got it straight off.
Mick (woody901) blazed away with all guns in his turret, and found the target for a silver badge.
Taking advantage of today's fine weather, rain coming very soon.
will post the new quiz and a new idea later on.

22-04-24 Change of pace this week.
Not WWII, not military.
The new idea I propose is under its own Subject heading, btw.

What do you expect? It was a night fighter, it was dark.
