Who can name these planes (2)

You were all extremely clever recognising the shorts 360 in the last (very zoomed in) photo. This picture is alot clearer but Im afraid I still don't recognise them! (don't laugh please

Could this be it? The Martin 404.

If so I haven't seen one for many years.

I don't know about the other one. All I can think of is the HS 121 Trident. Jet airliners all look much the same to me. ;)

PS. I originally thought the prop was a Vickers Varsity. Image
On 2nd thoughts this might have been correct after all. :-/

I think Hagar is correct about the Trident and the white one is a Varsity without a rudder or nose.

after a search Hagar and hawker look correct. the 1 and 3 engines are to small to be a TU154

Thanks guys, I don't feel too stupid now! I thought it was going to be something like a 727 or something easy ::)

I think they are all the same!

I'm with Hagar.  I can recognize a 747, 737 and a 777 (if the gear is down).  An Airbus A340 is the only real 4 enjine jet flying that is not a 747, a 767 has the gear backwards when landing (they tilt forward) and any big twin jet with the engines mounted on the fuselage, I call a MD80.  Obviously I know a MD-11..

But after that, I'm lost.  How these guys can sit there and say "Oh, that's a 757-400 (or whatever)" is beyond me.  ::)

Everybody ignored the poor old light aircraft in the right hand side.

Looks like a Rallye to me

Poor thing...

To be honest I missed it. You might be correct but looking at the state it's in it could be almost anything. ::)

I see everyone agreed with me on the other two - makes a nice change. :P ;D
I used a little Hagar logic in my deductions. As the photo is of Bristol Airport in the UK I assumed that they were more likely to be British types. This reduced the odds considerably. ;)
