Thanks evansb. A good one, with the open door conveniently hiding all those struts!

Here we go:

G-159 Gulfstream I?

C2j

skytrain10 5th Dec 2010 16:24

Not a Gulfstream 1 C2j.

...a Metroliner perhaps?

sycamore 5th Dec 2010 16:40

Maybe a Convair 580/Metro ?

evansb 5th Dec 2010 17:28

Fairchild (Swearingen) Merlin ?

...a Metroliner perhaps?
Close, but....no


Fairchild (Swearingen) Merlin
That's the one evansb:ok:. To be specific the Merlin IIIA. Well done:D

Here's the owner of the cockpit!

evansb has control

Thanks! I've always liked the look of the Merlin. Here is the next challenge:

Aaah, I had a bad feeling about that; almost went searching for a solution to the right hand column of engine instruments (a feature of the Merlin but not the Metro)...

Kerling-Approsh KG 5th Dec 2010 18:59

...but THAT is a C525A... Or a CJ1+ or 2+ if you're paying cash.

evansb 5th Dec 2010 19:18

KG is in the ballpark. A CJ3 says the caption. Your control

Kerling-Approsh KG 5th Dec 2010 19:37

Thanks Evans,

It's the 3 or 4 perhaps or a + (see the fadec switches left of the throttle quadrant), but no matter - impossible to tell them apart from the image, I think...

Haven't got my piccies hard drive with me, so...

OPEN HOUSE!

I forgot to add that this is a mock-up of the attack version of this aircraft...

Cheers.

skytrain10 5th Dec 2010 23:06

Gulfstream 600 Peregrine - not that I'm aware of an attack version, but you never know!

Noyade 5th Dec 2010 23:27


Gulfstream 600 Peregrine
Ken, look that up on Wiki and you'll find this aircraft mentioned.....;)


attack version
Only a mock-up with this one, but the trainer version was built.

skytrain10 6th Dec 2010 07:05

Evening Graeme - from the clue the Fairchild T-46. Looked at that one last night but cockpit layout seemed a lot different from your picture - there again I could only find the trainer as opposed to the attack variant (AT-46?).

Noyade 6th Dec 2010 07:10


Fairchild T-46.
It is mate! Your control. :ok:

Fairchild T-46 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was potential for some overseas sales as well, such as in the light ground attack role in addition to its role as a trainer.
