If it isn't a Lysander it ought to be !

There was one with a dorsal B & P four Browning turret - but I thought it was only ever a mock-up...

Anywhere close ??

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 17:10

Looks like a Lysander but is not. Wrong tail.

Taking that back

diesel addict is correct:ok: The Westland Lysander. Your turn.

diesel addict 26th Sep 2011 18:02

Thank you, evansb
I admired your post of the actual document.
Were not some of those wartime recco books dreadful !

Open House please gentlemen.....

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 19:05

Let's try this then. We have not had it, but as far as I can remember it has been proposed a couple of times as a solution, so should not be too difficult

Evening Reg....first chance to look for a while.
A familiar planform but can't immediately think what it is...are we looking at a high wing, tricycle undercarriage, swept tail?

skytrain10 26th Sep 2011 21:39

Having just proposed its high wing, I'm thinking it could be the Evektor EuroStar (or SportStar). Can't find a 3-view but the wings/tail look right and some models don't have wheel spats. Not very confident so will keep looking for a while!

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 21:54

Funny. This is the way it went the previous times, too.

Tricycle, swept tail, but low wing and not Evektor, as far as I understand, and as far as the type certificate calls it.

skytrain10 26th Sep 2011 21:57

Thanks Reg...so low wing?

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 22:10

Yes, low wing.

skytrain10 26th Sep 2011 22:17

Something from Storm? The Storm 400?

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 22:23

Not Storm. Being generous and pretty ready for bed: Go back to one response of yours above and see what I did not refute…...

skytrain10 26th Sep 2011 22:42

Reg, calling it a day now. From your comment I guess there is a connection with the EuroStar (or SportStar to those in the US), but not sure what! Only other machine that I have found that seems to look about right is the Aero AT-3 or AT-4.

Anyway good night - no doubt Graeme or Bri will sort it out overnight, unless of course Trevor swoops in :)

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 22:43

Eurostar was it. Just fix the rest.
