I'm going to bite the bullet, and say Grob G115E..

I doubt it's correct, but OH if it is.

Hi Jake....not the Grob and not German. But it was designed in a neighbouring country.

Morning Ken.
Swiss?
The Datwyler MD-3...?

The Datwyler MD-3...?
Nearly there Graeme but good enough:ok: It is actually the production version of the Datwyler MD-3, which is the SME MD-3 Aerotiga from Malaysia. Outwardly identical to the Datwyler.

Here's one of the 60 aircraft operated by the RMAF.

Thanks Ken, you're being generous mate, but unfortunately I'm silhouetteless....so Open House...for the moment.

skytrain10 13th Oct 2011 09:16


you're being generous mate
Nice of you to say so mate, but I take the view as there is no real difference then how would you know it was the SME built aircraft?


I'm silhouetteless.
time to get the black felt tip out :)

First thought...Soko G-2 Galeb?

Noyade 13th Oct 2011 09:51

Good thought. :ok: Back to you....:)

skytrain10 13th Oct 2011 09:54

I did have a 2nd thought, but it would have been wrong! Stand-by.

skytrain10 13th Oct 2011 10:08

Talking of my 2nd thought...this was a variation on it!

Ridge Runner 13th Oct 2011 10:10

FIAT mate, RR

Edit: G80

Not Swiss Graeme.

Morning Martin

Edit: G80
Nearly...go up a bit...the G.80 didn't have wing tanks.

Noyade 13th Oct 2011 10:28

82?........

Ridge Runner 13th Oct 2011 10:28

the G84????????????????

skytrain10 13th Oct 2011 10:33


82?........
Fiat G.82 it is:ok:

Not sure who this should go to...Graeme got it, but Martin was there first with Fiat and its predecessor, the G.80. What do you think? Graeme, your shout on this.

Noyade 13th Oct 2011 10:39

Martin's!!!!

I just followed his lead. (g'day martin). I initially thought the Swiss P-16.....

skytrain10 13th Oct 2011 10:41

Thanks Graeme.
