Worth a shot: Viking T1?
|
Reg, yes a t-tail
Jake, not the Viking T1. To help you along, this is a British design. |
A British T-tail design?
Built by a British builder? Before or after 1990? |
Slingsby T 53B?
|
Reg, as far as I can see it was built in Britain by a British designer. Pre 1990's.
Not a Slingsby skwinty. |
Morning!
A Lightwing product Ken? From the 80's? |
Hi Graeme! Good to have you back in circulation.
May I ask what you mean by Lightwing? Skytrain, Reg, as far as I can see |
G'day Reg!
Struggling to find UK sailplane makers, but one in the 80's was called Lightwing... |
Pre 1990's. Swales SD3-15T...? |
The Manuel Hawk of 1972 looks promising?
|
Hehee Graeme Manuel Hawk, BGA1778, Private
|
|
It is indeed the Manuel Hawk. Graeme got there first, so has control:ok:
|
|
No immediate idea Graeme. Out for the day now so will look in later. Cheers
|
Looks awful (not the silhouette, the entrapment). Two or three engines?
|
Three engines. Two tractor and one pusher up top.
|
I'm not sure on this one but when I get in later, I'll take a punt.
|
I'll take a punt. |
From Koolhoven....
|
Graeme/Noyade is getting all too soft as his age advances. A clue without asking!
Spit161, I have not welcomed you to the thread yet, although I have seen you a couple of time. Very nice to have you here, please stay enjoy our company. We sure will enjoy yours :ok: It must be Koolhoven FK-33, by the way, then. Shortly after the formation of KLM, Albert Plesman decided he would like to be able to offer night flights. He asked Koolhoven in 1919 (informally) to design a plane for this purpose. It should be as safe as possible. Koolhoven answered with the FK-33, Netherlands very first triple engined passenger plane. It could carry 10 passengers. Development of this plane was fully at the Nationale Vliegtuig-Industrie's own expense. Only one was built. It served with KLM from 1925 till 1927. Then it was sold to the German firm Aero GmbH, where it was used well into the thirties as advertising plane. |
Koolhoven FK-33 Heading off now mate, catchya later. :) |
|
a familiar looking fin/rudder, Reg?
|
It depends, RR, it depends :E
Why would you say so? |
Is that a military glider?
|
No Skwinty, civilian training two-seater.
|
British? A Slingsby T21 possibly?
|
Not UK. British Commonwealth, if you will.
|
CAD (HAL) RG-1 Rohini?
|
Take another step in the same direction.
|
Another step...Australia?
|
Another step...Australia? |
The Pirat. SZD-30B Pirat 75
Nevermind, having a flashback to the last glider. Bit of a senior moment.:O |
The Schneider Grunau Baby ?
|
No Skwinty. Australian.
|
Okay, Mr Schneider has an Australian connection. He emigrated there from Poland.
Schneider Grunau Baby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Not saying the challenge is the Grunau, but looks similar and has the Oz connection.:ok: |
Can't find a photo, but is this the 1942 Coogee glider? Looks that sort of era anyway?
|
When did he emigrate to OZ?
OK, be your own judge: This is the challenge http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...um195924-1.jpg Not the 1942 Coogee glider, Skytrain, AFAIK. For this at least four photos and the 3-D are to be found in the web. |
