Well done Trevor, it is the Nyborg TGN-1 . The one and only example remains in existance and registered with the British Aircraft Preservation Council, residing somewhere in Warwickshire.


SincoTC has declared Open House

I note that we are less than 2400 viewings to the million.

Looks like RDs' graph prediction might well be very accurate.

Post ready when it happens.

Just you and me at the moment Ken. Do you have another one ready if I post an easy one?

Hi LM, good evening!

Greetings from The Polar Circle. Seen more bears and wolves than reindeer, which surprises me. Usually by far the other the way around. Must be the volcanoes......

I will try to be around tomorrow for the Megatonne thing but not sure. This line is so slow that the first one hundred miles must be run with huskies and sledges. Greet the pals for me.

Reg

Good morning Martin.

Not German I'm afraid, but it was European.

Only one built.

No sure, David. I would say old but I'm guessing that its modern? European? In the true sense of the word, i.e. not Russian/Scandinavian/Baltic?

Morning all!
An overhead control stick? Isn't that just in the line of sight of the pilot?
