Slartibartfast 153 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Okay the Top one is not the Sub Hunter thats the AEW-3 Variant... in Ferry configuration as when they worked from the ship as AEW they only carried the drop tank on the left side if I remember correctly... and number 2 Supermarine Type 508 as has been stated...

Derk 265 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Hurel Dubois HD 34. One still visible at Google Earth at Creil AB in N. France.... And as fror the Scimitar: is was a development of (among others) the Supermarine type 508........ Edited August 24, 2012 by Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gunrunner 313 Posted August 24, 2012 Close... The one in the picture is in fact a HD.321 used during the Suez Crisis and the War in Algeria, you can distinguish it from earlier HD.31 and HD.32 by it's single large tail instead of a twin tail and from the later HD.34 thank to it's shorter nose, nose wheel at the front, compared to the longer glass nose of the HD.34 with its nose wheel further back.
