Sorry RR.

It's not a replica of anything.

Blimey RR !

That should keep us going for a while......

Are you able to confirm it's a biplane?

No, I can't confirm that! (meaning it isn't!)

Maybe not... Wait until Skytrain10 or W-K get online!

Hello Ridge Runner!
It strongly resembles the Croses-Bujon B-EC-9 Paras-Cargo, but donot know which of the two.

In honesty I must give it to you W-K! It is the Croses B-EC-9 Para Cargo. First flown in 1976 it is a rugged cargo aircraft capable of taking frieght or parachutists! Only one was built F-AZVC that still exists today.



You have control

RR,

"Maybe not... Wait until Skytrain10 or W-K get online!"

You were right!

I'm just wondering if your post #6038 put off WK........

At 2055 GMT WK is on line - maybe incoming.....

Lightning Mazte, I did get online around 9 pm,but got a call from family in Canada and only just finished talking to them (Is'nt Skype a great invention?)
Ridge Runner did not put me off Reason why I wrote "which of the two" is that as far as I know two examples of the B-EC-9 were built as F-PYBG c/n 01 and F-AZVC and on a silhouette its difficult to see the registration
I am not strong on registrations so if I am wrong, please someone correct me.

btw, open house please

Croses B-EC-9 Para Cargo
Interesting aircraft. You'd need to keep your head low when jumping out? Is Vz the initial climb rate? Seems low for a para-lifter...?

Croses.fr - Les appareils - Para-cargo B-EC-9

Open house. Thanks Walter.



Happy Thomas Crapper Day.

Is it the Armstrong Whitworth AW.169 all weather fighter? The Drawing seems to show two engines though, and if its this it should be four?

edit, I notice the cockpit is on the centreline, so is it a scaled down version to ER.103?


No, its the AW.166, a research aircraft to ER.134T. The AW.169 was a scaled up 4 engine version of this!
