Thanks, Evansb, that was a brain twister.

In fact, I think the SN601 was created during a period of consolidation in the French industry: it was initiated under Nord Aviation, which merged with Sud and eventually became Aerospatiale. But in the final analysis there wasn't room in the market for two French business jets.

Here's another challenge:

Fast and pointy, not military, so perhaps Fairey Delta 2?

Mel points out correctly that the SNCASO SO9000 Trident has already been done. Unfortunately it was listed under one of the manufacturer's other names, Sud-Ouest, not SNCASO. Both names were correct, depending on your point in time.

Must try harder!

on this note: OPEN HOUSE

I too have almost fallen into that same situation, So many aircraft have been known by more than one maker / model name ! Will try this after looking at various names ???? Keith.

twochai's challenge

I apologise for the confusion, at the next update I will ensure that all SNCASO aircraft are identified as SNCASO (Sud-Ouest).Also SNCASE aircraft SNCASE (Sud-Est) and SNACN aircraft SCAN (Nord).

Windriver has it It is a Proctor Mk 3, nicely looked after in Denmark.
Sorry about the time lag here, immediatly after posting I was "called out" and only just got home ! Mel I think the various Makers / Names just makes it a little more challenging fun, thanks once again for the listings.
Over to Windriver ...... Keith.

To keep things going may I pop one in - apologies to windriver if he gets back from his picnic to find I've jumped the gun.

Hi windriver - not a bitsa at all, this is a pure thoroughbred.
Not a Waco either.

I think I need to start fishing for clues as I don`t know where to start on this one!

It looks American... and judging by those switches and levers it looks as though it's built to do a particular job of work... quite what I don`t know.

Right here goes it's an American Crop Sprayer.

Nope, no way. There has never been a cockpit that clean in any Crop Duster in the history of aviation.

Even brand new from the factory.


Trust me.
