I thought it looked RV,but only got it through the clues given,and its been a while since I have seen anything re JJ(just remembered I used to fly a PA44 reg VH-JON) so hence the dislexyia! Have to admit that I have absolutly no idea on how to post or even find a photo to put up,however I think that this is one of the best threads getting around and I am stoked that I finally had some idea re one of the pits! Happy to hand back to the experts.;)

No problem yowie.

It is Philthy's shout really but as he is in the land of nod I am sure he would invite whoever has a challenge to post to go ahead.

Here's Jon and VH-NOJ:

Jon has flown in this cockpit solo around the world not once, but three times, including flights over both poles. He holds 48 world records and the aircraft has an endurance of 30+ hours. Incredible!

I am proud to say that VH-NOJ also carries the Philthy name on its port rudder :O

New challenge
 

Since Yowie doesn't want to post a challenge, I'll step into the breach with a challenge given to me by Planeenglish:

Off the top of me head (as ever) Grumman Avenger? Looks a bit small thugh, but I like to toss a googly in when I'm stumphed....

Correct: not an Avenger. Far too small and not nearly American enough.:E

When I sober up... (it's 1am+ here in Blighty!) . Is that an Aresti sequence taped to the panel?

Dunno - bit hard to tell. Could be though, I guess.

ASI in km/hr, French placards and guarded switches on the stick - ex-French Airforce?

Hi there
Is it a Fennec?
regards
TDD

Phil
Intersting challenge. Cockpit marking in French, would appear from the fuel guage to have two tanks. Rear view mirror seems to indicate seats behind the pilot and on the right is a rheostat for cabin lights. With all the French marking I do not think it is a design other than French.
Mel

Good logic, no banana. Not French and not a Fennec.

In that case I will go for the Swiss Pilatus P3-05

Hello again
A Pilatus P-2?
TDD

Mel has it: it's the Pilatus P3 HB-RCQ.

There's a couple of nice photos of it here: http://gallery.avilu.ch/gallery/classic

Thanks again Planeenglish for a good challenge. Over to you Mel...

Way to go fellas, glad to have participated in some way. Love this thread, keep it going.:ok:

Best,
PE

Thanks Phil
This one will either go straight away or could cause problems. All I will say is that the aircraft was a one off.

Miles Sparrowhawk?

Sorry, I meant Miles M.77 Sparrowjet?

Sorry, disregard all the above. I think it's a British helicopter!
