    I think No 2 looks like a Harrier. Could No 1 be a Blackbird?

    Not really up on planes.

    I'm not into planes either but thought I'd post in case someone would know the answer.

    I'll have a look when I've got a bit more time but I think number 1 is an F14 as its nose looks like the prize, but it might be a Mig 29 (similar engine intakes) and I think number 2 might be the Typhoon (new eurofighter) or an F18 Hornet. Not at all sure what number 3 is.

    Edit: No 2 is not a Typhoon, pic has only 1 exhaust, a Typhoon has 2. I think it might be a Saab 39 Gripen

    My other half thinks
    1. Mig 29
    2. Typhoon
    3. Hawk Trainer :)
  • I think, but not entirely sure, that they are:

    1 F-14 Tomcat
    2 SAAB Gripen
    3 Hawker Hunter
    Don't assume, it only makes an 'A$$' out of 'U' and 'ME' :rolleyes:

    I love this site as everyone will try and help everyone else. I Hummed and Hahd about posting it as I had no idea of the answer but I'm glad I did now. Be great if one of us win. If you look at past winners the same names crop up sometimes 2 or 3 times so they may not have had many entries before and will now wonder what has hit them.
