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!

foxmoth 28th Feb 2006 20:30


but maybe the answer will prove me wrong
Well I did say so! - but still no idea:confused:

Looks like loads-a-fun! Could it be a Wing Derringer?

Saab Dastard 28th Feb 2006 20:49

BSD - Nope, not a Wing Derringer.

Caproni C22J

Does look fun doesn't it.

And, to show how confident I am, here's one from me.

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).

Stinson Voyager?

treadigraph 28th Feb 2006 23:26

G, it's not Melvyn Hiscock's Rearwin is it?

Re the Caproni - did you see it fly at Farnborough - 1980 was it?

Genghis the Engineer 1st Mar 2006 00:09

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?

Waaaayyy to many instruments! ;)

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:

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?

Wunper 1st Mar 2006 14:45

But for the sticks I would have said Piper Aerostar , ok a modified Aerostar!

But I think BSD might have it with his suggestion

Saab Dastard 1st Mar 2006 14:47

BSD, I would say - Yes!

BSD 1st Mar 2006 14:57

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?

Bert Stiles 1st Mar 2006 15:28

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!!!!

Genghis the Engineer 1st Mar 2006 16:43

Possibly a very poorly NAY N3N-3?

G

Saab Dastard 1st Mar 2006 16:46

Butler Blackhawk? Obviously in need of some TLC, whatever it is!

BSD 1st Mar 2006 16:51

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?
