Post 2196 gave away the lineage for me, looks distinctly Yakalov. As to which one, the high/low/ back, single/two-seat, sentence leads me to suggest, YAK-7.
'866 The floor is yours. I think the photos are all -7Bs but no one can tell when they all differ. Who knows more about the speeds of this bird? |
Looks like they just threw any instrument they could find into it. I suspect that the original Russian books and instruments may have used km/h to keep things interesting (or am I confusing Russian and German cockpits here...?), so the Vne number may be from one translation of the Russian documents and the instrument is perhaps based on something else again. Indeed, not good practice, but registered as 'experimental' so more or less the owner/operator's problem... :}

Apologies for tardy response, had to go and do some work! Try this one...

Nice shelf there for your coffee,sandwiches etc.
|
In those days, it was more likely used for the ashtray...
|
Quite right, this is the swinging sixties after all, aircraft developed by well known manufacturer to take on the Cessna 172.
|
External view showing rather D.H. Leopard Moth like strut arrangement (for the same reason, to facilitate wing folding)...

Could it be.......
The BN3 Nymph? That featured folding wings. Don’t think they built quite as many of them as Cessna did of the 172. |
BSD has it with the BN3 Nymph, one built, still airworthy and still IoW based (apparently for sale on a UK website), the Pathe news film from 1969 is wonderful!
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....27442d7c88.jpg BSD has control. |

Yay! Try this. Hopefully with my limited IT skills I’ve managed to conceal the type - shown on the panel! |
No idea, but will attempt to narrow the field.
Homebuilt, UK registered, wood/fabric, two-seater, tailwheel, VW engine? How many out of six? '866 |
asw - 4. It isn’t VW powered and it isn’t (as far as I can tell) a homebuilt.
As to where it was built - think of a John Betjeman poem....... |
Slough??? or somewhere a bit more bucolic?
|
Asturias,
Slough is spot on. Though I think this was built after he implored "the friendly bombs to fall on Slough" |
Bucolic, or alcoholic?
|
If I am right there is also a connection with Sloinge.
|
Sloinge? Sweden? Hmmm. I can't see that connection myself. Could be something I haven't spotted though.
However, though I believe it was built in Slough, it has connections with 2 other countries in mainland Europe. One of them Bear, being a neighbour of yours..... Lovely looking little aeroplane though. |
E.O. T, not PG...?
|
Tipsy Trainer? OH if correct.
|
UV - It is indeed the Tipsy Trainer. This one is G-AFWT, no. 13.
The European connections are: Belgium (the designer) and Czechoslovakia (a Walter Mikron engine) I'd failed to spot Sycamore's reference E.O.T as being Ernest Oscar Tips, the Belgian born designer and Sloinge, the museum in Sweden where one can be found, but a kindly PM from the Netherlands showed me the light. I'm always impressed at how quickly these challenges fall. |

what you have to remember is that in searching for the "current challenge" the more obsessive of us (:}) look at a A LOT of other images - so when one comes up chances are people have seen it or something similar before
|
Or,if we can cobble the brain cells together ,remember having flown it about 45 yrs ago ..! rather like flying an open top Triumph TR3....on a fine summer`s day......
|
We also attended a lot of airshows - when they were fun................
|
The really obsessive have probably put the photos in their file “future challenges”.
and then moan that you have posted their next challenge!!! (it wasn’t me,.....,,this time;-) |
Ditto to all of the above for me too. The pictures I've posted have all been taken by me, mostly on my i-phone and then kept - waiting for a suitable moment to contribute! The one I though would be the best challenge went in a heartbeat when someone spotted I'd left the registration in full view. Doh!
Hours of endless fun to be had on this and the "which aerodrome" thread! Cheers to all. |
Shall we honor HRH Prince Philip with a multiple challenge?
May he fly on the highest flight level in fair winds. (As he has flown in 59 types; please feel free to extend the challenge with more photos) 1) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....16033ec01.jpeg 2) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....d52dc39db.jpeg 3) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....841b745c2.jpeg 4) https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7d0620244.jpeg 5) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0d157f1f5.jpeg 6) https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....af7de8e30.jpeg 7) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3f5e75b29.jpeg |
How do we decide who has won? Marks out of 7??

But everyone can easily increase his own score if you add some pictures too! 8) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5e539a5a0.jpeg 9) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....097b2b8fb.jpeg |
1.Glider.
2.Different glider 3.Whirlwind 12 4.B757 5.BAe146 6.Andover 7.Whirlwind Mk7 8.`Bridge of `HMS Beverly` 9Jetstream. |
1.The glider is an Eagle, a high performance two seater at the time. Derek Piggott in the back seat. Ann Welsh and Peter Scott looking on?
2 Second glider a Skylark 2 or 3 |
I am afraid Syca scores 4 out of 9.
Who will take the lead? |
With no other answers or added photos forthcoming I give Sycamore the lead with a score of 4
I want to thank UV for identification of the Skylark. That was also a question mark for me. There is a short film of the visit of Prince Philip to the Bristol gliding club: Bristol Gliding Club
|
Thanks SLB,but it is Open House.....
|
Since it's been two weeks, here's an easy one to get thread back up the list
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....150373f263.jpg |
Lockheed Tristar. OH please if correct.
|
I concur, I think OMA has it with the Tristar, now we wait for clock...
|
The thumb trim wheel is a dead giveaway!
