Tentacles Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Subject of the picture is a Whirlwind of course. But what was the photographer sitting in? It's not important, but it bugs me every time I see this pic: Thanks in advance. I'm sure it's going to be something embarrassingly obvious...

Aeronut Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 A target tow Lysander? Those wires aren't for bracing as they go to the tips of the tailplane to keep any errant tow cable out of the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Want to say Lysander too, aren't they Yellow & Black the target tugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHead23 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It does look very much like a Lysander now it's mentioned. I think most wartime Lysander target tugs were green and brown on top with the black and yellow on the under sides only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
