as the plane seemes to be the Ayres LM200 Loadmaster the engine should be LHTEC CTP800-4T with 5 blade Hamilton-Standart prop.
happy new year every one.

Open house

semmern 31st Dec 2014 09:11

Verily I count six blades :)

Ayres Loadmaster correct.

The Chinese 707 - Shanghai Y-10.

evansb 31st Dec 2014 16:28

Yes, it is the Shanghai Y-10.:ok: You have control.

Externally, the Y-10 was more akin to a Boeing 720, and internally there was little similarity.

Hello Simon,

Happy New Year :ok:

I think that's a Barkley-Grow T8P-1 ??

I think that's a Barkley-Grow T8P-1 ??
I think you're right. :D

CF-BQM at the Calgary Aerospace Museum, with one of her floats in the foreground.

Not a very popular aircraft in the US, because of its fixed-gear. However, Canadian operators used it successfully on skis and floats.

BQM, on floats, was used to ferry Princess Margaret around the BC Coast, during her visit in 1958. I've been unsuccessful in finding a picture.

The tail behind belongs to CF-PAT, Twin Otter Serial Number 2. The highest time Twin Otter in the world - 25,503 hours!

Thanks Simon, a nice Challenge and a fascinating history lesson too!

Let's see how this one fares :)

G'day Trevor.

Trying to figure this one out. Single-engine jet? Lotsa fins everywhere in a cruciform arrangement. What's that at far bottom right?

Hi Graeme,

Yes, your initial observations are correct.


What's that at far bottom right?
It's the tip of the elevator horn-balance, a very "pointy shaped" aircraft and I guess the stick must be right back!

Kitbag 2nd Jan 2015 18:18

Wouldn't be this would it?

Onera Deltaviex- very pointy!

Hello Kitbag,


Wouldn't be this would it? Onera Deltaviex- very pointy!
Yes, it is the SNCASO Onera Deltaviex (F-WBHA) shown complete with a "Toasting Fork" on the nose, extremely pointy!! :)

I believe the tail end shown was a later iteration in which the same aircraft was fitted with the ventral tail surface, a different canopy and a simple pitot tube on the nose!

Kitbag has control :D

Kitbag 2nd Jan 2015 20:52

Woohoo, lets see if we can keep this chicken flying
