"Hello again," says Martin Phippard, adding, "I Knew I had it somewhere! Herewith the Willeme 5741-CG with the big crane and the 'jet dangling from it' as accurately described by Dave Powell in an earlier comment. And, as he mentioned, the two wheel and tyre assemblies being carried amidships in the Roy larkin photo are installed on the rear axles here, again as Dave described. What's really interesting is that the stamp on the rear of the 'photo' says 'PHOTOGRAPH BY AEC LTD SOUTHALL MIDDLESEX, Buses, coaches, lorries and industrial diesel engines'. Oh, and what make is the jet please? Manufacturer and model name. Thanks, Martin." And BLB will throw in a pie too if you can get this one!

Hi Brian, I have asked to my colleagues of the magazine Volare. It's a Dassault Vautour, a french bomber.

My 'World Aircraft Encyclopedia' says your aircraft pic shows a Sud-Ouest (now Sud Aviation) Vautour twin engined bomber. It served with the French Airforce during the 1960s/70s. Your picture looks like an early prototype - 1st flight October 1952. Google 'Vautour' there's loads of stuff on it.
