I am sure you have hit the nail on the head. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...dazTrainer.jpg The one and only Marendaz Trainer. |
windriver's challenge
Quite the challenge, windriver! Thanks Mel. Only after eliminating de Havilland, General Aircraft, Heston, and Parnall from the list, did I consider the un-British sounding Marendaz Company to be a contender. I understand the one-off aircraft had leading-edge tip slots, unusual for the time. Here is the next cockpit:

windriver's challenge
I too would like to congratulate on windriver finding that challenge. :D:D

A small (but very spotterish!) point of order on Windriver's Jetstream answer. Mel did indeed confirm it's a Jetstream, but it's not a 31 as stated. It's actually a -200 as confirmed by the condition levers for the Aztazous on the centre pedestal. But to be even more accurate, it's a T Mk1 as previously operated by the RAF as a trainer. This is confirmed by the twin PTR175 UHF radio fit.
Pedantic, but i like to be accurate :hmm: |
The wheel made me think Curtis Seagull, but, um, no. Not even close. How about a Short Shamrock (Shirl)?
If I'm right, the floor is open. Off to bed soon and brother-in-law's 40th birthday party tomorrow... :ok: Dave |
evansb's challenge
av8boy is spot on:ok: Very well done:D The Short Shamrock was the ill-fated craft piloted by Major Wood and Captain Wylie on April 19, 1919. In a bid to cross the Atlantic and win the Daily Mail 10,000 pound stirling prize, the engine faltered, and the aircraft was ditched off the coast of Wales, smashing on the beach at Holyhead. As stated, the floor is open. Have fun Dave!

Dan. I do apologise you are quite correct in that the aircraft posted was not a Jetstream 31 and I should have made that clear at the time of accepting windriver's answer. You are of course correct it was a photograph of the panel belonging to a RAF Jetstream T Mk1 powered by Astazou XVID engines. I believe in fact the aircraft concerned was XX499 callsign 'G'. As you rightly say previously operated by the RAF as a trainer.
Here is the panel of a Jestream 31. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...Jetsream31.jpg Many thanks for raising the point. |
