Haven't posted anything for a while, these were taken recently, so can you identify the kites from the cockpits?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Concord
Constellation? No clue, but it is green and has 4 engines
I'm guessing Dehavilland DHC-7.  It's yellow, the throttle is up top and there are 4 engines
and I was going to say Nimrod on this one as well, or maybe it's a VC-10.  Definitely looks british.

Well the first one was nice and easy, you're getting close with #4. So far I'm not impressed....
