Note the shape of the fin. |
Oz changed the design of the Beaufort fin - so it has to be in Oz.
At first I thought of Fishermens Bend, Victoria But if that's the Kingsford Smith Air Service hangar in the background, I'll plump for Mascot, Sydney --- |
It's Mascot and a DAP Beaufort - well done Cuefaye!
The caption to the photo reads "Beaufort T9541, the first aircraft assembled at the Dept of Aircraft Production's GAF at Mascot, taking off on its first flight on 20 October 1941." Actually I rather think it's landing. It's using the old 12/30 runway, traces of which could still be seen in the 1970's as a taxiway before it was swallowed up by what was then the Ansett tarmac/terminal/aerobridges etc. Over to you.... |
Thanks Dora
Have to exit my patch for rest of day, so OH I'm afraid. Sorry |
I'm not checked out on Beauforts, but at a guess, I'd say you wouldn't use that much flap for takeoff.
|
Or that much up elevator....
Actually Chevvron, given the type's dire reputation with the RAAF, maybe you should be grateful that you're not checked out? |
|
No takers until now...
It is in Europe |
I thought Antwerp at first, but I don't think it is.
|
Poznan, EPPO. Looking down 11...
OH if correct! |
Two days! It clearly can't have been available via GI or LM would have "researched" it by now. ;)
PS What's the aircraft? |
Minuteman Poznan is corret, so OH
India four two its a Dash 8 - 300 |
'On the glidepath well right of centreline correcting slow'.
[Sorry it's my ATCO instincts.] |
Visual Approach, landing was perfect (by copi), nobody hurt, a/c ok, returnflight on schedule :)

Saturday morning clue.
|
The name 'Istres' stands out.
|
|
And I thought he'd put the red triangle on Marignane to give us a bit of a clue Chevy.
|
World calling Chevvron.....
Do you have anything for us? |
