Hello
Back by popular demand is the Spot the Errors Thread!
only two rules:
a) a maximum of 2 errors identified in each post
b) no consecutive posts by each member (after your post, let another member have a go before posting another).
There are 45 errors (perhaps some more I could not identify ;) )
Have fun!

Yes, this pilot, even is now an Admiral dont want to forget he started as a Petty Officer 3rd class ;)
2. Since when is BBQ/Barbeque a valid RAF tail code? Oz yes. UK, no. ;)
Carl
Personally I think it makes the Lightning an even hotter aircraft ;)
Thank you for participating
-
Sharkmouth?
Correct.
Even thought some Lightning had the sharkmouth not this one
Thank you for participating.
-
Different color roundel/ national markings
Correct; althought technically 3 errors, I will accept. :)
... the AAM has no seeker head from what I can tell ;D
Yes; no wonder the missile could not home on the target ;)

Sorry, this is correct, althought there is something not exact with it... ;)

You are correct.

Tail hook?
Yes, but what exactly is wrong with it?

Sorry this is correct for the Squadron; but there is something wrong with it... ;)

Hello
To help identify and keep track of errors, I present the image with the errors so far discovered shown.
In Yellow those already revealed;
In blue those mentioned but that need further explaining why they are errors (because they belong to the aircraft, but there is something not quit right with them).
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/JPVieira_2006/LightF6erroscopy-1.jpg)
I want to point out that this thread will run until the end of the voting (April 26th).

Backward facing/extra intake on spine.
Additional NACA style intake just above missile.
-
SX904 is an Avro Lancaster!
Tandem gunsights???

- The probe or sensor (or whatever that thing is supposed to be) directly in front of the windscreen shouldn't be there.
- Re the three antenna on the spine, there should only be one, not three.
-
- The blade antenna under the nose is way too forward
- There are another set of three antenna under the rear fuselage Iin line with the Accessory Gearbox turbo pump exhaust) - they shouldn't be there
-
- The probe or sensor (or whatever that thing is supposed to be) directly in front of the windscreen shouldn't be there.
Yes you are correct; it is a IR sensor (and perhaps it should have been there ;) )
- Re the three antenna on the spine, there should only be one, not three.
Sorry, that is not the error with it... the 3 antenna belong to the Lightning, and the reason why it is an error on this image is perhaps a very simple one.
Thank you Greg :)

RE the trio of antennae, is it their color?
-
- The blade antenna under the nose is way too forward
- There are another set of three antenna under the rear fuselage Iin line with the Accessory Gearbox turbo pump exhaust) - they shouldn't be there
No, no, you must allow another member to have a go before you try again (please, see ruler number two). :)
As there was another member posting almost imediattly, I will consider that.
You are twice correct.
-

Sorry no; it is even more simpler than that... ;)

Hmmm...we may have to disagree there. Where is the adjudicator?
I will wait until I see the 'correct' answer, but I have seen photos etc without three... ???

Sorry Greg you are correct; it is only one antenna; althought the error I appointed was that it was placed way forward that it should.
Too much errors to create in only one plane... ;)
I will give also credit to Clify B for spoting there was something wrong with the antenna in the first place.
To you both and all other, my appologies.
-
thanks - I was really baffled when you replied that I was wrong. Started looking back over photos...was really hanging out to see what your error actually was. What did you think was wrong just out of interest?
still loving these challenges though - they are great and sharpen the mind! :)

The problem was that I copy the original antenna (3 times) and then place it forward and only marked that as an error (without marking it as two errors - 3 antenna instead of one and the place were it was placed).

Thank you; I hope you and all members continue to discover the errors; I will try not to make any more in recognizing it ;)

Here is an update on the errors discovered
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/JPVieira_2006/LightF6erros3.jpg)
Only a few more days to go... :)
-
Well I have a few mre ideas..but I am going to let others have a go first. :D
-
RE the ejection seat placards, their location is incorrect. They should be directly under the canopy IE the pilot. Yes, there should be two as well. Seems rather odd but photos show two. Can you explain please?
That "exhaust outlet" looking thing you have directly above the horizontal stabilizer. Best I can tell it should be higher and further forward; Directly above the main wing tip and in between the engines.
-
Sway brace on drop tank and tubes at rear of tank.

You are correct!

Yes, there are two in the profile; in one is for the ejection seat and another for the canopy.
Here is a close -up of the signs

Hello
Here is an update on the errors discovered.
At this moment, we are half-way towards finding them all.
All errors are possible (thing that not belong there; things that belong there but are not in the right place, or in the right size, etc...
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1/JPVieira_2006/LightF6erros4.jpg)
Please, keep in mind that it will run until, the 26th of April; lets not end it without discovering all the errors ;)
-
- Cannon port is incorrectly positioned - should be further back, in front of belly tank
- Exhaust nozzles look to be pettle type which would be incorrect for Lightning.

Correct! Both times! :)

Oh, oh, I can see some more...I'll wait a bit though so that others can have a go.
-
I`m sure the `splinter` camo has been already mentioned, it should be more curved.
But the tip of the fin is wrong. It should not be painted all black, the rectangle section in the middle, at the very top, should be the same colour as what ever colour the tail at that section is painted in (Hope that made sense??)

Yes, it makes sense and you are correct!
Thank you for participating. :)

Here is another update.
Please remember, it ends on the 26th of April and still more 17 errors to find... ;)

1. There's an arrestor hook warning stencil below the tailplane - does that count as a separate error from the hook itself?
2. There's another one of these scoops (the ones on the spine) on the bottom of the belly tank, just in front of the ventral fins.
-

The arrestor hook is signaled as an error because it was mentioned (by another member) but was not specified why was a mistake; the lightning has an arrestor hook; so the mistake is: why is this arrestor hook an error (the lightning has such a warning sign- it is not an error).
2. There's another one of these scoops (the ones on the spine) on the bottom of the belly tank, just in front of the ventral fins.
You are correct! :)
-
No idea what that black thing is sitting on top of the top `burner` can, just behind the rudder, but it shouldn`t be there.
Also shouldn`t the lines that cover the belly tank be in black rather than white/light grey?
-
- Small black blade antenna in front of fin shouldn't be there
- The Arrestor hook is too large and is too far back
-

In the "real" lightning there is something there... ;): I can say that that is one of the errors, but I would like to be identify exactly what the error is.
Also shouldn`t the lines that cover the belly tank be in black rather than white/light grey?
There are a mixture of darker and clear lines on several "real" lightings; this one is also an error, but it not exactly (or at least not exclusively) the color of the lines... :).
-

You are correct!

Woohoo!!! Finally someone cracks the Arrestor Hook error fully!!!

Eleven more errors to identify
-
ELEVEN???!!!! :o :-\
-
Of course, We have to make it challenging, or else it is not interesting... ;)
Some of those final errors are perhaps a bit dificult to spot and perhaps I can mark them on the image and ask why they are mistakes (I will try to upload an even bigger image of it)
-
hold off on marking them just yet, but please do upload a larger image.
-
Eleven more huh? I'll give it another go later tonight. I think I see a few.

Clarification please; what does the warning aft of the canopy say? I can make out "DO NOT CH---" but the panel line mars the last word.
-
I think it says, "DO NOT CHOP"

Yes, that it what it says: it is not an error.
-
There's a stencil low down on the fuselage level with the canopy that says "access leader": shouldn't that be "access ladder"?

Yes, it should.Very good. One less to find out.

Rear mirror on top of cockpit shoudn`t be there
and
again, no idea what the `Bin` numbers are about, but wouldn`t they be the same. (unless of course this is an Airfix kit and they are numbered parts.. ;D)
-

That is not a mirror, it is the IFF antena, and it must be there; sorry no error there.

That is not an error either, sorry.

Hello
And here is the final image with all the errors identified
In yellow the errors discovered by you all
In blue those pointed out but not explained
In red those not discovered
Again many thanks to all and if you want this kind of thread can happen again.
I wish also that other members to it because I want to participate also in discovering the errors ;)
