Either and or both. Is a EB-57E www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=2709My buddy worked them. His name was James "Doc" Watson. The Doc was for Auto Doc. We first worked together at Griffiss AFB, NY in SAC. He was my bestman when I got married. Few years later we were in West Germany together. I was at Sembach AB and he was at Ramstein AB. I then went to McChord AFB, WA and a few years later I was his sponser when he reassigned there. Been close friends for 38 years. Gary, Doc's email address changed? mail comes back undeliverable...... As far as the EB or B on the 57, wouldn't make any difference in the posted photo......., There was a slight difference with the Canberra and the 57 radome, over 50 years has gone by................... BTW, The radom on the RB- 57was about 5-6 feet longer......... RB and WRB differed primarily in what equipment they carried..... I maintained the wt and bal records for the ones at Yokota was well QC insp on the a/c.... It was fun to watch the plane try to land with any sort of a head wind..... The 4713 Radr and ECM Sqdn at Griffis had 2-3 of the EBs and the Rome Air Research and Development Command also had 2 of them that were used to evaluate electronics equip

I see the difference now. The difference in the size of the intakes. The must have been modified with Turbofan's at one time.

Sorry Jim you`re pretty cold there. Jim had a good guess due to the V-shaped intakes on the F-9F. It looks like a Hawker Hunter. Designed by Sydney Camm of Hurricane fame, the Hawker Hunter replaced the Meteor, Vampire, Venom and F-86 Sabre in RAF service, and became an absolute classic British jet. This very clean and attractive design was a tremendous success, being sold to nineteen different air forces, including Switzerland, Chile and Zimbabwe, which still had some in service in 2002 when I photographed this aircraft. The Hunter first flew in 1951 and In 1953 it set a world speed record of 728 mph (1170 kilometers per hour). After being superseded by the Lightning the Hunter continued on in a ground attack role and by the time production ended in 1966 a total of 1972 aircraft had been built.

Victor bomber, tanker and anything else they could think of Victor bomber is correct! You have the next pick Jim. The Handley-Page Victor was the last of the British "V" bombers to enter service, after the Victors Valiant and the Avro Vulcan. All three were strategic nuclear bombers. The Valiant was a very conventional straight-winged jet which was developed as "insurance" in case the more radical delta-winged Valiant and Victor programmes failed. As it turned out, all three were successful and enjoyed long service, and all three first flew at about the same time - the Valiant in 1951, and the Victor and Vulcan in 1952. The Victor had the largest bomb bay of the three, a very distinctive shape because of the large bulge under its nose which housed radar and other equipment, and it was even capable of going supersonic in a very shallow dive. PS: The Castle Air Museum has an Avro Vulcan on display that was flown in by the Brits. www.castleairmuseum.org/avro_vulcan.htmlPat P.

Just a minute "some weird Brit aircraft, probably a hawker siddeley" Why don`t you just say you`re bloody clueless hmmm? Speaking of Vulcans, I`ll be seeing the last flying example displaying in a few days at the RIAT at RAF Fairford I actually live about 5 miles away from where it`s now based at what used to be RAF Finningley. Just to be a clever dick the aircraft behind the Victor is a Shackleton MR.3
