I'm back with another "nano seconds" post, which I hope I cannot find on Mels list ? Keith.

[India Four Two]

A classic - Zlin Trener Z226T

[norwich]

India Four Two, you are correctish ! I had it recorded as Z-526, but having looked there is little difference, so we all await your next challenge. Keith.

[India Four Two]

Keith, thank you.

Here's the next one:

The previous is a Z-526,as the u/c switch is just to the right of the gear indicator;-226 had fixed gear...

[John Hill]

I have no idea what it is but it has nice curtains!

[evansb]

I'll guess an Atlas C.4M Kudu.

[India Four Two]

Interesting guess, bri. I had never heard of a flying Kudu, only the four-legged kind.

Wrong hemisphere, sort of. This aircraft was produced in the northern hemisphere, although this particular example lives south of the equator.

However, the name does have something in common with the Kudu.

John Hill, half a point if you can tell me the manufacturer of the "sun shades"

[evansb]

I should have gone with my first thought on this one. It is a Beagle A.109 Airedale.

[India Four Two]

bri, you've got it. You have control.

The Beagle Airedale trumps the Kudu, in being named after two animals, not just one

This particular panel belongs to the beautifully restored VH-UEH:

From the 12th of June:

Bri, may I start with Beagle A 109 Airedale ???? Keith.

Keith, where were you when we needed you?

[evansb]

Exactly! Where are you Keith?.. Here is one Keith may get:

[norwich]

Hi guys, I'm here looking and thinking ! have no idea at all on this one, but i,ll be back !!! Keith.

[sycamore]

I think it`s the new stealthy `Bitsorfa wunderplane`,recycled Mk2...`cos it`s got bits orf a Chipmunk/provost,,and other bits orf a Vampire/Venom(gear handle),bits orf a shelf in the garage(carpet).....could be a highly modified Condor,...but retractable gear....you must be pulling my `handle`....
I`ve got a `bitsorfa` bike,bits orf a Norton,bits orf a Matchless,other bits orf a Suzuki,bit orf a Wessex,all goes together harmoniously,and I used to race it....!

[evansb]

Sorry, it is not the commonly rare, yet frequently unseen Bristol Bitsorfa. You are not that far-off the mark though..

[wz662]

Only a hunch and I've nothing to post if I'm correct but is it the EoN Primary?

[oncemorealoft]

OK, this is a completely WAG, but is it a Shorts Seamew?

[evansb]

Sorry, not a Short Seamew, nor is it the Ellotts Primary Eon training glider, which didn't have much of a cockpit.

[sycamore]

This side of the Pond,or yours, or East from here ??

[India Four Two]

Looks British to me, well at least the instruments are. Made of wood?
