In relation the death of Prince Philip, there have been a number of articles alluding to his flying. This photo was shared on a post at Forces.net and I was wondering if anyone could identify the type?



It definitely looks Boeing, and I'm thinking 757 or 767- but can anyone narrow it down further?

Found it:

"Here, he controls a Boeing 757 airliner during a demonstration flight near Seattle".

The Handley Page Herald he piloted on a overseas visit is preserved at Woodley Air Museum, which also is the ex RAF site where Bader did his legs vanishing trick

I wonder what Phil said to Charles when the latter stuffed the Queen's Flight 146 into the undergrowth...

I'd risk a little bet it got a bit sweary...hehe
