Afternoon LM,

Russian again I presume... I was going to say the Gribovsky G-21, but I think the Aviavnito ANITA-1 is the one?
Heading out, open house if correct :).

The Aviavnito ANITA-1 it is indeed. :ok:

Open House has been declared.

Where on earth is everyone? :eek:

Well, I'm around but very busy today! I saw a couple of lights on when I grabbed a peek at break time and thought you'd have some company by now!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be near a computer at all this afternoon so I can't put anything up now, sorry mate :O

da da!!!!!! I'm back!!!! :) All our servers went down on Thursday night and weren't back until late last night!!!!!!!!!

RR

Here you go!

Gavilan 358 ? Looks similar to the Kodiak Quest and Grippsland GA8.

ah ha, Brian!! That's the one! You have conterol mate!

Thanks, That was fun. Here is the next one. I'd like the military designator and name please:

It looks like a C-12C Huron, Brian

Edit: reminds me of a few hours beside the runway at Sde Dov watching the various Beech 200/C-12s up to the point the two uniformed officers came over and asked what I was doing .... bird watching of course!! :)

Edit2: if corect it will have to be OPEN HOUSE I'm afraid... must go!!

Correct. The Beech/Raytheon C-12 Huron. As the man says, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Is it now......................

Looks a bit like a UAV. I don't do UAVs, Just like you don't do high-wing monoplanes.
I'm not a fan, (no pun intended), of motor gliders either..

It is indeed a UAV.

Do you want me to change it for another one - I'm happy to do so....?

In fact bugger it - standby by for a replacement.....

OK mate - not a UAV....

Vega flying test stand or Airover Altair testbed or something like that.

Evening David:) Well I was about to second Karl's guess of the Vega Flying Test Stand!

May be alternatively listed as the Lockheed Altair 8G?

I second it and third it Ken! The Lockheed Altair 8G that is. Your thread!

It proved out the Menasco Unitwin 2-544 engine (which I think is a very cool engine for the time) used in the airframe AiRover model 1, based on an Orion... or Vega Altair... for the Starliner, you know... err, never mind. :) Sirius, you guys have control. :p

Morning gentlemen.

I have it from Aerofiles as the Vega Flying Test Stand. The Altair had a radial.

Karlark was the first to get there, but from his last comment I am not sure if he has offered an OH.

If so then it must go to Ken.

Morning gents. I am a little confused. David you said in your post (which has been deleted) at 2051 yesterday that it wasn't the Vega Flying Test Stand. You now say it is - which I agree. It was previously named the Altair 8G (per Aerofiles) but I cannot claim that as a correct answer since Karl was there first. Karl has kindly handed the thread to me, but it really should be Karl's!

As no doubt Karl is still asleep I will psot something shortly in order to keep things moving.
