The right era. Different country.

The pointed windscreen reminds me of the Boeing 247.

LM you are the Man. You have Control.

Some 247s had the forward pointy windscreen, others had a more conventional setup.

Thank you aviate.

In this one, unusually, mehmsab is in the left seat and I'm in the right.

Good grief LM! I hope you did not get into the luft in that configuration?;)

Lightning Mate 31st Jan 2013 14:19

G'day newt. :)

Wossa aeroplane then?

Shown around it by an ex-Lightning pilot. ;)

twochai 31st Jan 2013 19:58

Sure looks like a Boeing B-17, or variant thereof.

But its already been done, according to Mel's list??

OH if correct.

newt 31st Jan 2013 22:43

B 17 G at Duxford?

Lightning Mate 1st Feb 2013 06:00

twochai has it. :ok:

I'ts the "Sally B" but not at Duxford - Bournemouth.

Open House has been declared.

Woods 1st Feb 2013 10:39

Don't know the protocol for this, but would suggest a relook at the cockpit of the Boeing 247. Looks very,very Douglas, DC 1 or 2, to me. Woods

evansb 1st Feb 2013 12:17

I agree with Woods. aviate1138's cockpit on page 7998 looks more like a Douglas DC-2 cockpit than a Boeing 247 cockpit.

aviate1138 1st Feb 2013 15:37

I bow to your expertise peeps.

This was my source.

However is this what you think it should be?

Partenavia P68 "Victor"? OH if right...........

evansb 2nd Feb 2013 18:21

Sorry, not the Partenavia P68..

TheiC 2nd Feb 2013 21:36

That's the Tecnam P2006, which boasts a fatal accident rate of around 1 per 25 aircraft built, so far (and they've not been in build very long at all), from the information I can gather.

Open House if correct, though I may pick up my own OH tomorrow if no-one else fills it.

evansb 2nd Feb 2013 22:25

Yes, it is the TECNAM P2006T. Mount Royal University's Aviation Program in Calgary operate 3 of the type.

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

BSD 9th Feb 2013 08:58

How about the Martin 404? Pretty sure I recall seeing that throttle/reverse pitch arrangement in one I looked at Sun-n-fun a few years ago

Haven't got anything to post, so if I'm right may I declare open house?

BSD.

p.s. what is that in front, a Constellation of some kind?
