I know, I know... just pointing the finger at the limited number of my favourite sources.
Need to browse Air Enthusiast a little more often...:)

Or Scribd …… :)

Good night gentlemen. It's past midnight in a few minutes in my latitude.

Thanks. A lovely "if only" aeroplane. Here is one not so lovely:

Short Bros S.35 Shetland?

...and I only had to browse the first 7 pages of my trusty FBotW...

Edit: off to bed. OH if right.
Tomorrow I will be ready to use my sleeve.

HP is spot on:ok: The not-so-short Short Shetland. As he requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Have fun...

Morning HP. :)

Do I see what appears to be an oversize fuel jettison pipe at the rear?

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 08:41

Morning LM!
I honestly have no idea.
It originates from the base of the vertical stab, just in the middle, and the "leading edge", so to speak is painted black.
It's on other photos too, and on both sides (if some smart:mad: photograph didn't flip 'em, that is).

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 08:42

That rules out my ideas on the HAL IJT then!

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 08:47

Not the Sitara, in fact.
Mine has a significantly less powerful engine.

Morning, is it the HESA Dorna?

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 08:58

Morning,
The Dorna is listed on Wiki as a "proof of concept" for this one, which is then the...

RegDep 6th Aug 2011 09:05

Errr… HP are you reading "HESA Dorna" article in Wiki?

Well, I read "OWJ Tazarv" and there it is, mentioned…..

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 09:06

This one?
HESA Dorna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No, I'm reading the other one ;-)

Maybe it's referring to a different Dorna (after all, it only means "lark")

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 09:06

I think he is.

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 09:11

That one, Reg! :D:D:D
Several nice photos available.
You have control. :ok:

RegDep 6th Aug 2011 09:14


Several nice photos available.
Some call it (same pictures, different sites :=) Dorna, some Tazarv.

I'd grant this to skytrain …...

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 09:23

Hear hear. :D

skytrain10 6th Aug 2011 09:27

Thanks Reg, we had had the Tazarv before, so I went for the Dorna!

Stand-by.

Utilicraft FD-1080-200 ?

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 10:10

Apologies.
For what I could gather from various sources, they were made by manufacturers with different names, at least apparently.
Guess that's what happens when there's little information owing to political/military reasons.
Re the repeat, I checked the list, but it takes a lot to load, so chances are that I checked it but it was only halfway through and didn't have enough time to load up to "O"...

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 10:12

No problem mate - we've all done it.

Incidentally, Mels' document loads for me in seconds.

Utilicraft FD-1080-200 ?
That's the one David:ok:.
LM has control

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 11:26

B....:mad:.....S

Must be something to do with my hangover!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shall go back and delete the post, but to be fair I feel I should call OH.

Evening mate BTW.

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 11:30

In case I wasn't clear - OPEN HOUSE.

Noyade 6th Aug 2011 11:34

Morning. :)


I feel I should call OH.
Ok. Bought a new scanner/printer today for $36. Ink cartridges are $61. Morale is when you run out of ink just buy a new scanner/printer...

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 11:38

That's how printer manufacturers make money.

Are you aware that they only half fill the cartridges so that you have to buy new ones fairly quickly.

There are refill kits available for way less cost.

Is your challenge another turboprop?

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 11:40

Looks like some kind of surveillance or research job.

Noyade 6th Aug 2011 11:42

Yep, but I don't print. Just scan. :)

Yep.

"Passenger light transport"

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 11:53

I think that the fin and HF aerial rather dates it.

Noyade 6th Aug 2011 11:58

Yep. First flight in 1960.

The drawing I "coloured" in is from around 1963...scanned. :ok:

Noyade 6th Aug 2011 12:02

French. :)
