A Farman Mel? MF.7bis possibly?
|
Ken It is a Farman my source has it as a Maurice Farman MF.VIII. However the various sources are not clear regarding this aircraft.
You have control |
|
Good evening Ken.
Is this a project? Never flew? First thought was the Potez 840, but there are differences. |
Morning Graeme, yes a project, but not from France.
Offline for a while but will check in later. |
A Canadian Dash-7 proposal?
|
It was intended for the same market as the DHC-7 but no connection and its not Canadian. You are in the right part of the world though.
Edit to say closing down now. Usual rules apply:ok: |
You are in the right part of the world though. |
Just as I was about to switch off....yes USA:ok:
|
Now, who in the USA would want to make something like that?
Beechcraft? (Pre-empting - Goodnight mate. :ok:) |
Unless i am mistaken,i am sure we had this before,as far as i can remember it was called something like General Aircraft Corp, GAC 2000,does that ring a bell with anybody?
|
Morning.:)
With only three prop blades per engine I assume fairly low power, so a piston and not a turboprop. |
Morning....well, Irishair almost has it, but I cannot see that we have had it before. It is from General Aircraft, but it's not the GAC-2000.
Despite the 3 prop blades it was to be a turboprop. PT6A engines. |
Howdy Ken.
GAC-100? |
Howdy yourself Graeme.
Yes it is the GAC-100. Looks like it got to the mock-up stage , but no further. Several references in Flight, including: 1969 | 3111 | Flight Archive Looks like GAC were also expecting some military interest judging by this model: http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/8ab2cb0a.jpg I see it was mentioned in another forum, so maybe that's where you had the thought from Irishair? It had been incorrectly referred to as Australian! Talking of Australia....Noyade has control:ok: |
He's busy mate - on Challenge.
|
that's where you had the thought from Irishair? Irishair did most of the work. What's the forum? |
|
The forum was Aviation History and Nostalgia! But not SC...it was entitled 'Regional jets that never made it"!
|
Was the challenge Russian?
