Thanks. Come with the territory of 20 odd years of being a spotter and reading too many books! ;D

Ah, bugger! Got mixed up between the MiG-23 and the MiG-27, and the BAe 125 and 146! ... And the Yak-3 and Yak-9! ;D

Nice to know I came joint second, though ;)

Mmm, all three of those were potential gotchas...

The 146 could cause a lot of confusion by being a 146, or an Avro RJ-85, or an RJX. Yak 9s and 3s are hard to tell apart, but from memory the 3 is a little smaller and slightly better looking...

That Lincoln was a tricky one. The only real give away in that picture is the four bladed props.
