Okay then, here's the next photo in the quiz (no fair looking at other threads on WIX to find the answer). ;-)
One thing I don't know about in this is the black "shelf." Anyone got any clues on it's purpose?

I'll have to go out to the house and take some more challenging pictures for y'all.

Just a wag, but a place to carry the crews baggage?

Hmmm, could be. Thanks, I'll go look at it closer now. Didn't even think of that.

I agree that it's probably a luggage or spares transporter.

Have you tried looking/asking at www.F-111.net ? (just found it looking for pictures of the "Dump and Burn") :)

Okay, here's another one for y'all. What type airplane did this instrument panel come from? I'll give y'all a little while to guess, then I'll post a picture of the part number to help a bit........

Why it came off of an A75 of course! I have a bunch of hours looking over one of those.

These are waaaaay to easy for WIXers. Here's another one that should be fairly easy. The more difficult ones are coming up.......

Ahhh, but do you? :wink: Methinks that you only know about some of the stuff in my back yard. :lol:

Here's another one for y'all. The difficulty level is somewhat higher, but I suspect that y'all will get this one fairly quick as well.........
