That's a good collection for the year, some very nice Soviet types in there too. Glad the Phantom made it onto the list as well 👏👏👏

What's the black smudge on the fuselage of the Canberra?

Isn't it just the staining from the cartridge starter? There seem to be plenty of photos of variants with those engines with the same fuselage blotches.

I know it’s a real thing but isn’t the start cart exhaust on the port side of the nacelles? 
 

edit. You are correct Alan, there are multiple exhaust vents including one in the right place for the blotch.

True :shrug: maybe cartridge smoke just likes that part of the fuselage?

A very nice collection, hard to choose a favourite they are all so good, but always love a good f16, and I like the fiddler, you don't see too many of these, interesting variety.

Now there's an impressive line up. Well done.

 

What's the black smudge on the fuselage of the Canberra? I can't figure that one out.

As mentioned later this is the staining from the starter cartridge. Having looked at photos and having been based at RAF Wyton (but on 51 Sqn), I have noticed that it is mainly on this side.

That one was mainly built for SWMBO as she has a love of cows.

Only just, but just is good enough.
