But you are not talking about Fairchild-Dornier 728, are you Skytrain?

Guys, going out now so if someone identifies it and 2 of you are confident the answer is correct then please carry on with the next challenge.

Edit, Reg, no, not the Fairchild-Dornier 728.

the ACCA????

Advanced Composite Cargo Aircraft - a Dornier 328J with its mid/aft fuselage and empennage replaced with advanced composite materials. The ACCA is a Lockheed Martin demonstrator to advance composite usage on next-generation tactical air mobility transports for the US Air Force Research Laboratory.

Afternoon. Initial though was a Rollason Condor....but not aware of any open cockpit variants. A conversion Martin?

Ridge Runner 14th Sep 2011 15:54

Blimey Ken, and I thought I'd slip it in while you were sunning yourself! :) Not a Condor and not a conversion. RR

Ridge Runner 14th Sep 2011 15:57

The fact that it is wooden should be a clue :E

skwinty 14th Sep 2011 16:18
