Stearman 6.(x)

Morning Reg. Not a Stearman.

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 08:48

Morning.

Commandaire 3C3...?

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 08:53

New Standard D-29....?

skytrain10 13th Sep 2011 08:56

Not a Commandaire Graeme. A little newer....early 1930's design.

skytrain10 13th Sep 2011 08:58


New Standard D-29....?
Almost there....go up a few....:ok:

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 09:01

And if it wasn't for that tail...
Spartan C3-225?
Meyers OTW?
Lincoln PT-K?

:)

The book stops at 29 mate! :)

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 09:03

31?............

The book stops at 29 mate!
Sounds like you need a newer book!
As you are just about there, it's the New Standard D-33 (incorrectly listed as the D-32 in Aerofiles)

You have control:ok:

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 09:10

Well, I then went to Aerofiles and saw "31" and "32", so went with the first. Process of elimination. :ok:

Thanks mate, but it'll have to be Open House....

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 09:22

...then again, quick scan...

Graeme, does your source call this a shoulder-wing or high-wing?

Light transport?

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 10:17

Are you looking at Aerofiles? Excellent.

I'd call it a shoulder wing? "ChwM"

"rare transport"

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 10:19

Wiki says high-wing and utility transport - 9 passengers....

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 10:24

Looking closer at the photo I can see American Airways on the fuselage.

Also used by the USAAF.

Noyade 13th Sep 2011 10:29

John Wayne used the name of this aircraft 23 times in the film...
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
