That is the one Bri. The Kari-Keen 90 Sioux Coupe, the subject of a recent Aviaquiz challenge.


You have control.

Not from Hawker. To my knowledge it never served in "ancilliary" roles - though I could be proven wrong. Does the shape of the instrument panel remind anyone of anything?

So if it has machine guns, and a cable drum, but you say it didn't serve in ancilliary roles, what was its prime role, I wonder?

I can't say for certain that it is NOT a cable drum, but can you say for sure that it IS? Could be ammo feed for the guns, couldn't it?

Some spent a lot of time tied up in formation flying.

RAF squadrons in the late twenties, early thirties performed aerobatics tied together so using that as an extremely tenuous link, how about the AW Siskin?

Not an AW product, Kitbag, but your train of thought is heading in the right direction.

To move things along, it is NOT of European origin.

Apparently the site I originally downloaded the picture from some time ago has gon on the blink and this particular picture is no longer on the internet (except here, of course).
