It was a shame we didn't see the full fly past during the King's coronation yesterday. For all those disapointed plane geeks, here is a competition. The prize is a 1998 play off small metal kit badge pin (The MESH one). To win it, there are 17 aircraft in the pictures below. The first person to name all 17 on this thread will win it. If nobody gets them all, the first person to get the most correct with a close of midnight tomorrow will win it. Answers should be by reply to this thread.

    I can maybe name two with absolute confidence... Even then I've got my doubts - WTF is the third one in the left column!!...

    Did the Italians (?) not bother with the rest of it, seeing it will be quicker to surrender than fly it?

    17 out of 17. send me a message with your address and I will send the badge on. I thought the J20 and Stipa Caproni would be difficult.

    It was an experimental plane fro the early 30s which believe it or not influenced future aircraft design. The modern turbofan is thought by some aviation historians to be a descendant of the "intubed propeller" demonstrated in the Stipa-Caproni.

    I spent 10 minutes glued to my screen  zooming in on the pixels debating if it was a dehavilland Hornet or Mosquito because the nose looked too round for my liking.
