Hey dook, the answer is YES!
|
Cheers.
Time to flip a coin..... |
As a hint, there is a pristine example collecting dust in a museum.
|
An RWD...….?
Polish Aviation Museum possibly. |
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...!!!!! |
It is indeed the Hungarian Levente II trainer. sycamore has control.
|
|
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? |
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.... |
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...…. |
Maybe the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260.
|
No - it's the Aermacchi M290.
|
No ,it`s not........
|
|
Guess we'll have to move further North.
|
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. |
I guess the Valmet L-90 TP is what Sycamore was looking for.
|
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 |
Not PT6 then, but Allison 250B17. I played with those on the first turbine Islander.
|
Dixie,there is a photo of an American reg.Redigo with a 5 blader,so that will probably be a PT6 or a Walter...
|
|
classy looking trim on the cockpit wall.................. :oh:
|
Noorduyn Norseman perhaps?
|
MReyn has the Noorduyn Norseman and takes the thread.

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

Triple brake pressure gauge.
British ? |
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?
|
It's the relative positions of the yokes which intrigue me - as in Lisinov.
|
Indeed, there is a bit of space forward of the cockpit. No idea about the other issues I'm afraid...
|
Whilst I doubt it, is it Russian ?
|
No, not Russian.
|
I'll shoot at something from Martin.

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