Hey dook, the answer is YES!

dook 10th Feb 2020 18:45

Cheers.

Time to flip a coin.....

evansb 10th Feb 2020 18:54

As a hint, there is a pristine example collecting dust in a museum.

dook 10th Feb 2020 18:55

An RWD...….?

Polish Aviation Museum possibly.

sycamore 10th Feb 2020 19:17

Bit further SE...Levente II,Strucc.....
Reference earlier to YMCA was the song by` Village People`.....next word was `Young man (Jungmann).....but it wasn`t..
You guys must have led a very sheltered life...!!!!!

evansb 10th Feb 2020 19:22

It is indeed the Hungarian Levente II trainer. sycamore has control.

sycamore 11th Feb 2020 10:01

Okay ,try this one...

High performance retractable single, aero's, "G" meter. 400+ knots.
Feathered Prop. PT6? Not enough engine controls though.
1970/80s instruments and radios.
Looks like British cars outside.
Hangar, Cranfield?

sycamore 11th Feb 2020 11:02

I think the ASI is kph.....not a PT-6,and it looks like a second `condition/proplever is to left of throttle on centre console.
Can`t comment about cars or Cranfield,but it may be,if it was at F`boro....

dook 11th Feb 2020 11:30

I think this must be a European military trainer.

I have flown the tandem sear PC9, which only had single-lever control as per a jet, with no condition control.

I am wondering if it's Italian. Onwards...….

dook 11th Feb 2020 11:38

Maybe the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260.

dook 11th Feb 2020 14:40

No - it's the Aermacchi M290.

sycamore 11th Feb 2020 17:33

No ,it`s not........

Jamesel 11th Feb 2020 19:09


dook. No - it's the Aermacchi M290.
Interesting, looks like you can NOT trust the Wikipedia illustration captions after all.....

Jhieminga 11th Feb 2020 19:15

Guess we'll have to move further North.

dook 11th Feb 2020 21:18

I'm baffled.

The full title in the Wiki article is Aermacchi M-290 TP Redigo, originally a Valmet design named Valmet L-90 TP Redigo.

I accept that Wiki is not reliable but something is wrong here.

Jhieminga 12th Feb 2020 05:02

I guess the Valmet L-90 TP is what Sycamore was looking for.

sycamore 12th Feb 2020 10:04

As we`re nearly there,it is the Valmet L-90 TP,OH-VTP,one of the 2 prototypes.All` Redigos` were produced by Valmet,and none by Aermacchi,as when they bought the production rights,the world was looking at tandem turboprop/jet trainers ,ie Tincans,PC-9/21,Texan 2,and not side-by-side trainers.....
On balance `dook` has the keys......as mentioned in #1536

dixi188 12th Feb 2020 10:24

Not PT6 then, but Allison 250B17. I played with those on the first turbine Islander.

sycamore 12th Feb 2020 11:21

Dixie,there is a photo of an American reg.Redigo with a 5 blader,so that will probably be a PT6 or a Walter...

dook 12th Feb 2020 16:30

Cheers sycamore.

Next one....

classy looking trim on the cockpit wall.................. :oh:

MReyn24050 12th Feb 2020 17:55

Noorduyn Norseman perhaps?

dook 13th Feb 2020 17:54

MReyn has the Noorduyn Norseman and takes the thread.

MReyn24050 13th Feb 2020 18:18

Is that Jim Wright's Hughes H-1 Racer replica?

Sorry for the delay, You have it. It isw the Wright-Hughes H-1 aircraft. You have control.

Jhieminga 15th Feb 2020 07:35

Let’s try this one:

dook 15th Feb 2020 14:22

Triple brake pressure gauge.

British ?

MReyn24050 15th Feb 2020 15:46

Interesting aircraft. Through an aperture behind the right seat, left rudder peddle one can see the structure of a forward bay!. Are those levers in the centre of the control yokes brake release levers?

dook 15th Feb 2020 16:11

It's the relative positions of the yokes which intrigue me - as in Lisinov.

Jhieminga 15th Feb 2020 17:26

Indeed, there is a bit of space forward of the cockpit. No idea about the other issues I'm afraid...

dook 15th Feb 2020 17:31

Whilst I doubt it, is it Russian ?

Jhieminga 15th Feb 2020 18:27

No, not Russian.

dook 15th Feb 2020 18:33

I'll shoot at something from Martin.

Yes, what are those levers on the yokes ?

And the rudder pedals don't appear to have brakes on them.

The forward bay area doesn't appear accessible from the cockpit (tight squeeze). Maybe an amphibian ?

dook 15th Feb 2020 19:46

The levers must be brake levers. Beneath the yokes are shrouded cables.

sycamore 16th Feb 2020 07:46

Fokker S-13 trainer,1 off,cockpit in a Museum.....

I reckon Sycamore has it. Have not found a complete image of the panel but have found an image of the Fokker S.13's Control Yoke with the brake lever. which is identical to that of the challenge aircraft. .

dook 16th Feb 2020 10:16

Well, here's one Mel.
