Sorry for the thread drift / diversion.........

Philthy, do you know the history of VH-BSV? The registration is familiar - it may be the first aircraft I ever flew in 1961 or 1962 - I don't have the log records. Was that Chippie ever owned by the Aero Club at Cambridge, Tasmania?

Woomera,

VH-BSV was first registered as such in July 1960. I don't have the rest of its history to hand, but will set my spies to work immediately and report back ASAP.

Regards,

Philthy

Thanks Mel, but I exhausted my meagre cache of pictures in the first version. Open season for anyone.

Your wish is my command, Mel. Not a great one, just something a little different:

Are we looking at something that was pre 1940s?

Nope, not pre 1940s. This type wasn't very successful.

I cannot decide if this was a sailplane or powered aircraft.

Thanks cringe, how about Swedish. The Lg 105 - AB Flygindustri Fi-3 (1944-1945). Of which I understand a replica is being built.
