Wasn't it Type 529 in this case ?

No, the carrier-trials aboard HMS Eagle were carried out with Type 508.

I‘m about to be a bit of an ass so I apologize in advance.

Why apologize? It's easy, this is an 鷲型試作軽爆撃機（わしがたしさくけいばくげきき）.

Cheers!
Mike

As Sniper says

Don't apologize. We're all aware of you 

Don't worry - just my words!

Mike,

Correct language, wrong airplane.......

Nice try though.

What you posted earlier translated out as something else entirely. I still give it to you.

If you google for 鷲型試作軽爆撃機（わしがたしさくけいばくげきき）, the very first link is to https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%B7%B2%E5%9E%8B%E8%A9%A6%E4%BD%9C%E8%BB%BD%E7%88%86%E6%92%83%E6%A9%9F

I guess Mike's knowledge of kanji and katakana is as limited as mine or yours. He simply switched from the English Wiki page to the Japanese one, and copied out the heading/title. Nasty little trick, but it worked  Still easier to replicate than to learn/re-learn maths or physics. Oh, when I was young and a simple quadratic equation or designing an electric board didn't pose any problem!

Thanks James
Kanji and Katakana isn't much of a problem, I've got assistance for that next to me

Okay, an easy one for today, just thought I'd post it because considering that this picture has been taken during cold war, I'm wondering what the photographer feels like today.


Cheers!

Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-D.

The cranked wingtips gave it away.

[SAS~Ghost129er]

It's a jet!

[SAS~Storebror]

Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-D.

Eh... No Sir.

Before I get stumped into ground now: This is no hidden nitpicking. In fact it's clearly visible that this is not a Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-D.

Cheers!

I'm going to go with the Sukhoi SU-15TM.
Zflyer48

[SAS~Storebror]

And the baton goes to Zflyer48!
It's indeed the Su-15TM "Flagon-F", clearly identifyable from the perforated plate covering the top of the CRT display housing.
All of this belongs to the «Тайфун-М» (Taifun-M Radar, NATO code "Twin Scan"), which is the Flagon-F radar system.

Your turn Zflyer!

Cheers!
Mike
