Hi Daz...funnily enough, when I first posted the challenge I thought that one of the first aircraft anyone would come up with was the Beech 36 Bonanza....but no, its not that, and its not from the US.

Good evening gentlemen,

Finished for the day (workwise), breaks occupied with dog-walking duties, so first time on for a quick look in before I go. Good lot of banter this morning and some good challenges!

As for your current challenge Ken, I wonder if it's Korea's first indigenous aircraft, the Chan-Gong (Blue Sky) 91 ??

I'm going to go in a few minutes, another longer "walkies" then shopping, home to eat and then decamp to house sitting duty (with good B/Band access), so it's going to about nine before I can get back, so it'll have to be an Open House if correct, sorry guys!

Isn't that a dog, David? If it was they'd eat it, of course!

Signing off!!!

Hello Sinco.....well, you've done it again! Yes its the Chang-Gong 91 from South Korea A kind of Bonanza, meets Cherokee with a touch of Rallye 7 thrown in.
Good research...I won't ask how you found it...unless of couse you recognised it?



Hope the day's work was constructive...and that you've got something lined up for us! SincoTC has control.

Edit to say I should read posts more thoroughly....SincoTC has declared Open House.

Thanks skytrain,

I didn't recognise it, I just played a hunch on the country and got lucky (with an F3 on four-seat) on a site I found a while ago that pretty much covers all countries and periods, It was the first return!! There's lots of broken links and bits that don't work, but the underlying data seems to be searchable in English. I'd like to post the URL, but !!

I was going to mention my edit, but I see you've seen it now (it probably wasn't there when you first saw it and replied) !

Sorry about the OH, my home BB is very flakey at the moment and it will be getting on for ten before I'm back, especially if I don't sod-off now. I was hoping that Martin might have one to go up, but looking back, I see that he's been closing down about five-thirty and no home access I guess.

Sounds an interesting site....much as I'd love to know it, I still prefer to use my own resources where I can. And doing it that way I often stumble accross other potential challenges whilst thumbing through books/mags etc!

And seeing your further comment reminds me...bearing in mind our connection speed at the moment (200 kb), searching the net is not that easy!
