It looks very similar to the UTVA-65 Privrednik, save for the cabin. A variant maybe?

Now I've found a photo of one with an all glass cab, so I'll say it is the UTVA-65!

I think the nose is wrong for the UTVA-65 so I'll say UTVA-67

If correct please declare Open House.

I do as it happens. Not counting my chickens yet, but I'm pretty happy with the UTVA-65. The 3-view matches that in Observers perfectly, save for the cockpit. The only description I've found of the -67 (bear in mind it wasn't actually built) says its got a larger hopper and a "redesigned fuselage", which would imply that the 3-view would not match.

We'll wait for WK, but in the meantime I'm back in the garden. Will check-in later.

Skytrain, just out of technical curiosity: You say 67 was never built, some text mention it was first flown 1967. Given that this mentioning seems to be circulating without proper reference, and no pictures so far found, where do you get that it was never built?

If I may:

A later variant of the Utva 65, the Utva 67 first flown in 1967 was similar but had the eight cylinder 400 hp (298 kW) Lycoming IO-720-A1A and a revised fuselage of greater capacity. Its top speed was 295 km/h (184 mph).

Exactly that. So, how to fly one if not built?

Or maybe it's my English (or lack thereof) and
(bear in mind it wasn't actually built)
means something else than I know .

Edit: OK, I plead no contest!

Douze Points for skytrain10
I think it is safe to assume that the UTVA-67 Privrednik II (400hp Lycoming O-720 and redesigned fuselage, larger hopper) was not built.

skytrain10, your show please!

See, it was obvious that tryingskrain was correct.

OK gentlemen, get under the table - incoming......

Walter, I'm not at work until Tuesday, but I think you now have 8 left.

Sorry, I've got them all here and it is 8.

Thanks Walter. There is a certain amount of questionable information on the UTVA-67, but to quote an authorative work on the subject, in respect of the -67 "....was proposed....but did not reach prototype stage".

Here's something a little different, and probably very easy!
