Robey Peters R.R.F.2
Right! That's what I have it. Not sure if it is the same as what Wiki calls "Robey-Peters Gun-Carrier", but failed to have energy to research…..

All yours HappyPass!

Thank you Reg!
Seems like the same aircraft, apart from minor discrepancies (e.g. the nacelle guns, which however were never fitted).

Edit: the above comparison is between Aviastar and Wikipedia data.

Hi Guys,

I think it's called AVIC, but my line's stalled


http://asian-defence.********.com/20...counter-f.html

The link gets tampered with when I post! The missing bit is b-l-o-g-s-p-o-t without the hyphens!

I'm just about to eat, so it'll have to be an Open House if correct, sorry!

Yep, that's the one!
China AViation Industry Corporation (AVIC) VTOL Concept

Some points in common with Reg's snowgrinder (I found it while searching for the Bella-1) but in a hi-tech way.



The missing bit is...
I googled the rest of the url. We are searchers, after all

SincoTC has requested an Open House

I'm back, suitably replete and find there's been no takers for my OH ! I thought that Reg might have snapped it up to go with his Cockpit and Aerodrome challenges, but I see his light is out, so I'll put an easy one up.

G'day Graeme,

That's the one, the Dornier Do-231M (VTOL Military Transport Variant)

Seeya after work, have a good day mate; I'm going back to bed now!

A second chance for you Reg; I found your very appropriate and good Aerodrome last night after I posted, but when I managed to log-in again I found Sabredog had beaten me to it!
