The rear seat and console of the Grob Twin Astir or to be more precise Grob G-103A Twin II Acro?
|
Sorry, you're wrong!
|
OK thanks. Will withdraw my picture. It is a glider though? How about the Grob G-103SL Twin self launcher?
|
Grob G-103 Twin Astir / Viking TX.1 ?
|
Hi Cringe. You may well be correct with the Viking TX1. I proposed the Grob Twin Astir but Tim seems to be asking for the exact version, however with that photograph it is a guessing game.

Suggest we move on whilst waiting for Tim to respond?

I agree. Time marches on. I am convinced it is a Grob Twin as the console matches similar ones to the Grob G-103s on Airliners.net but what version only Tim knows. Mel |
Hi Mel,
Tim's pic can be found here: http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/hangar/...gs/gliding.htm Could you please post the next challenge, since you did all the work by suggesting a Grob G-103 ? :) |

Many thanks. I did think that Tim was being a little pedantic considering how small the photograph was. However I am sure this will be solved in a very short time. Mel http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...kpitquiz74.jpg |
The RAF Vikings TX1 is indeed a Grob G103 II Acro (wing planform similar to the I, whereas the fuselage is similar to the III) produced by Slingsby under licence from Grob. So MReyn24050 is technically right, but pedantically speaking cringe has it.
OT, one is appalled to see that the RAF does not care much about the glider manufacturers' recommendations about anti-collision painting : Because of the increased temperatures caused by colors other than white, only areas not subject to vertical sunshine and areas with high safety factors can be painted in safety paint. |
De Hav. Hornet ?

Grumman F7F Tigercat ?
|
The Invisible Cat & Mr_Grubby.
Sorry neither Grumman F7F Tigercat nor De Hav. Hornet. However Invisible Cat from the information supplied by cringe I agree it was the RAF version and cringe was correct. But without access to that information it was not possible to determine the precise version of the aircraft type from the information I was able to access it was a Grob G-103. As far as I am concerned cringe gets the honours. |
Whirlwind, but Ithought it had already been done?

You are correct on both counts. I really should check my own list it was last presented on the 31st October 05 by none other than Tim Inder. I do apologise please present a new challenge. I will go to bed. :ugh: Mel |
Well to keep things moving I present this one in place of the duplication. I am 100% positive this has not been used before.

AW Albemarle ?

Cringe
It is the right answer. Well done indeed. You have control Mel |

The control yoke is similar to a Bristol one but I do not think it is a Bristol Aircraft. The nose glazing does not match either. I would go for a twin engined light bomber WWII era so I will go for the Martin Maryland as I do not think it is Japanese or German. Mel |
