Here is a series of ten tails. Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to identify the aircraft that these tails should be attached to. I've thrown in a couple of nasty hard ones to keep everyone honest. Good luck! ;D

Use the top tail as number 1 and work down to the last at the bottom which is number 10.  ??? ??? ???

4) DH Comet...correct



Sneaky that one was, but once you realise its dihedral you can see and not sweep angle, and the (very) dark tips, it was a banker...

Can't beat Charlie that easily ;) ;D Beautiful aeroplane!!! ;D

9= Douglas DC10
DC10, DC10? DC freakin 10. oooooooh my friend time to run to your shelter as there is an atomic vat of marmalade heading your way as we speak :-/ ;D
please note my little avatar, that is a dc10 tail photo copywrited to me taken last year at gatwick n224nw for referance sake ::) note the number 2 engine is straight in line with the tail, where as our L1011 tail engine is actually directed to the tip of the tail itself. :)
