"The English Electric Lightning perhaps?"

It had to be really, didn't it.

Tell me where it is Mel, and I'll give it to you.

RR

Some of the stars have a piece cut out of them like a Camambert cheese cut into a triangular shape from the centre.

Another clue very shortly.

Hi LM. To be perfectly honest it was a guess was made following your post at #4769
Well, who am I?
although I did try to join the dots and at the top right hand corner I thought I could make out the shape of the Lightning's belly tank.

OK chaps,

Move away from the top right corner......
In case you are all getting cheesed off, solution very soon.

RR,

"None of them are LM. I've enlarge to individual pixel size and still can't see what you mean....."

That's because there is some degradation in the conversion to jpg format.

Suggest you all have a new one up your sleeve for the inevitable open house.

I found three stars with vee cuts in them. Is the the top left hand one the aft tip of the Lightning's fin?

Cracking piece of detailed searching Mel.

That has to be good enough. Over to you.

PS,

I hope you all enjoyed it.

Now back to reality....

This is what a high altitude night intercept looks like from a Lightning F3 cockpit.

A nice one LM, and well done Mel for getting it, and working out (more or less) where it was!

I wonder what Mel has for us?

Thanks LM very interesting, I must admit I was at first looking for something larger.
This one I am sure will not take as long.
