Foxmoth - it is about 30 years old, and there are none flying anymore, so I think it qualifies under both history and nostalgia!
There's two clues! |
but maybe the answer will prove me wrong |
Looks like loads-a-fun! Could it be a Wing Derringer?
|
BSD - Nope, not a Wing Derringer.
|
|
And, to show how confident I am, here's one from me.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...pit28Feb06.jpg For what it's worth as a clue, the flight bag is mine, and this was the 96th type in my logbook. :D :ok: (And yes, it is as fun as it looks). G |
Stinson Voyager?
|
G, it's not Melvyn Hiscock's Rearwin is it?
Re the Caproni - did you see it fly at Farnborough - 1980 was it? |
Damn you're good Saab, it is indeed an S108-2 Voyager. As it happens I now own 1/10th of it, so the next PPrune fly-in if you ask nicely enough, I may give you a go.
Treadi - as it happens I did (1986 I think), but it didn't make much impression on me, I found the answer from clues in the picture and a chunk of detectivework, and then remembered having seen it. Talking of which, if anybody's a member and didn't know, allegedly there's going to be some kind of SETP get-together at F'bro this year. But, that wouldn't preclude a PPrune meet-up as well perhaps?

Genghis, the combination of those distinctive control yokes and the angled cockpit glazing bars is very distinctive - added to my recollection of your suggesting a Stinson as the answer to a previous challenge - makes it seem that I am more knowledgable than I am!
Try this: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...t/mystery8.jpg |
Saab, I'm fairly confident about this one! I'll go for the Morane-Saulnier Paris jet. I think it's properly known as an MS 760? What do you say?
|
But for the sticks I would have said Piper Aerostar , ok a modified Aerostar!
But I think BSD might have it with his suggestion W |
BSD, I would say - Yes!
|
You beauty! Ta Saab. Still working on how to post photos and of course, something to post. May I once again throw it open to the floor?
|
Try this one folks. Possibly one for Treaders.

Why, is it a repeat? :}
Can't see it till I get home... the b*****rs here have stopped us seeing Photobucket, etc!!!! |
Possibly a very poorly NAY N3N-3?
G |
Butler Blackhawk? Obviously in need of some TLC, whatever it is!
|
Boeing Stearman? Probably one converted to crop-spraying. That would explain it's work-weary appearance. If it is, it's another in my " loads-a-fun" category. Anybody recall the scene with the Stearman and the helicopters in Capricorn One?
