Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 11:34

Mine only takes 30 litres - lasts over three weeks.

Looks like Ken is wearing a short sleeved shirt........

I'll stick to Welsh petrol....even the M4 services I use don't charge that much!

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 11:48

Twin Comanche ?

Twin Comanche ?
Not a Twin Com David

Close though:)

Ridge Runner 4th May 2012 12:07

Piper based, though? It reminders me of a Seneca but the fin/rudder are not right. RR

And that's cheap around these parts!! Normally its up at 145.9plus!!

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 12:08

Looking at the fin, Chieftain ?

er no.

Blimey...the most I have paid is 138.9....M4 services near Port Talbot is 137.9:)

Not a Chieftain, nor a Seneca....but it is a Piper:ok:

Edit: have just corrected error on port u/c leg on silhouette.

Offline for a while now. Usual rules apply if someone thinks they've got it:ok:

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 12:35

Piper PA-40 Arapaho, and I think yours is N9997P.

Ridge Runner 4th May 2012 13:31

Yep, it looks like it, David!

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 13:35

It does indeed mate.

However, with no seconder we'll have to wait I fear.

I have just solved sabredogs' challenge on "Challenge" I think, and asked him to get over here but he hasn't.

trucky04 4th May 2012 13:43

It is definitely the PA-40. I know this as Ive just spent the last hour looking for it without pressing F5 to refresh my screen!! Well done LM

skytrain10 4th May 2012 13:57

Just to confirm it is the unsuccessful PA-40 Arapaho, which was to be the replacement for the Twin Comanche. Interesting that some Twin Com's have been modded with the Arapaho style extended fuselage spine.

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 14:09

Lightning Mate 4th May 2012 14:17
