|
I Think we need another clue or photo.

TVM ,SLB...!!..

'tis a Gladiator forsooth!
|
Actually,it`s more `sore-tooth` when you start the Mercury,with much `grinding and `squeaking`,until it runs smoothly,oil pressure is high,then falls to normal as the temperature rises...Then in flight it `purrrss`,like a big cat sleeping...
Any way,here we are returning from Mildenhall 9/6/84,and a photo session en-route; bit of a grey day ,and the engine is well known to get carb icing,if you reduce power without carb heat..been there,done that..! copy/wrt/Vines/Davies..,,,You have control... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2ae06a7a47.jpg |
Is that Dickie Martin there ?
|
OUA,sadly it`s not...it`s me..however..
3 yrs earlier,a conversation with DM went something like this..amidst much smoke from his pipe.. DM;`Now laddy,have you read all the Gladiator`s Notes...? Me; `Yessir`, (respect for a Wg.Cdr(rtd).... DM,now accompanied by JohnLewis(CTP R-R,and Dep CP SC);;;`A few questions then..Speeds??engine limits????carb heat..??etc,etc...More smoke,like the Pope`s chimney,and non-audible conversation between DM and JL.. DM...`Right Ho`..Go and get airborne,do some stalling,some aerobatics-No negative `G`,Practice display,and a circuit to land..Don`t forget the carb-air!!`Fly it like a Tiger Moth`... And so off I went into the `Wide blue Yonder` It`s not like a T-M,more like a 900 hp Stampe ;so then we` have to land,and of course `everybody`,engineers,pilots,staff,photoggies,are all watching,waiting,as `we` land on all 3 wheels,no bounce ,skip or hop,run straight,and taxi back in to shutdown,,,(You do land it like a T-M). DM..`Well done, old boy...You can take it to the Staverton Air Display next weekend,OKAY..`. Me,`Yessiirr`...(how to go from `laddy` to `old boy` in one flight...) |
How splendid.... The Autair Operations Office was always full of smoke, one really needed an instrument rating to work in there - DM being a major contributor along with Maurice (Have you got a light Old Boy ?) Rowan.
|
I flew on an Autair Viking airtest after an engine change at Luton; It was -AGRW, and Capt Rowan was in charge...I was just a bit of `ballast` in the back..

Well when we get the museum we'll get the aircraft..................
Is that a Beech in front of the challenge? |
Helicopter on the right looks like a SA330
|
A Puma and a VampireT55...does it have `wobbly wheels`...? Shorts `Shed`...?
Assume it`s high wing,with engine controls in roof... |
Overhead power levers. Is this a flying boat?
|
Not a flying boat.
High wing. What are 'wobbly wheels'? |
Go up/down,usually on command....
|
Ah!
No, wigid wheels. |
half teh world seem to have used the Vampire T55 :{
|
I think that correlating a nation to its museum exhibits is a policy fraught with pitfalls, else followiing a visit to Duxford you might think the UK had operated SR71, U2, Pukara and Focke-Achgelis types...
The nation that built this type never operated Vampires anyway though some of the several countries it was exported to did. This pic is from one of those. |
I think that's wise advice - this museum seems to also have a very early aircraft top left - it's clearly an eclectic collection. Tho' I'd guess unlikely to Warsaw Pact.
The challenge looks pretty austere - so I'm guessing not from the USA? |

Assuming it is - and assuming this is a military aircraft museum that used all the aircraft depicted over a period (the T.11, Beech and Puma) - one common denominator for all three - is Mexico. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f6b85d4dab.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0ea10190e9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a747a7ed7d.jpg Looking at Mexico's inventory (1973), it lists four high-wing aircraft - the Mitsubishi MU-2, Britten-Norman BN-2, IAI-201 Arava and the Catalina. We know it's not a flying boat. |
the Mexican AF have a museum - but it I can't see a full list of aircraft

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I'd forgotten all about those...................................
nice polish on it mind! |
I had ruled out anything powered by PT6s as they normally have three sets of engine controls and I can only see two in the photo.
|
If it's a fixed gear airplane, what is that lever on the overhead panel just above and left of the left throttle ?
