Could be worse, he could be running a RB211 in his garden.

Zaxis 13th Mar 2024 09:52

Just confirms my opinion of what an a$$hole he is; not content with deliberately killing wild animals he wantonloy destroys aircraft.
Sorry just noticed Zaxis had edited out a certain person.

It was just a diversion.
The next challenge...

Yes... Richard Pearce replica. He was a real Nikola Tesla type in the early aviation world of New Zealand.
Over to you Noyade

Noyade 14th Mar 2024 21:30

Cheers Zaxis.

Thanks Noyade, a quick search for early slats leads to Handley Page.
Now this:

Asturias56 17th Mar 2024 08:30

we've had things from that museum before I think (maybe in What Cockpit) - the lattice work is really distinctive (almost as good as a tree) - somewhere in Europe. Now to start working backwards though the list.................

Noyade 17th Mar 2024 08:53

The prone pilot Government Factories Type 451?

Asturias56 17th Mar 2024 17:27

Noyade has with the government factories or Ikarus S-451 in the Belgrade air museum which looks a good way to spend a few hours on the airport.

Noyade 18th Mar 2024 22:23

Cheers Bear!

Not a Fokker.

Indeed. 😁

Stout AS1?

Noyade 22nd Mar 2024 11:43

Stout it is - but my source says it's not the 1-AS. However, I'm starting to doubt my source.

Nice paint job on this one. As a bonus you also get the "Which cockpit" quiz...

It even seems to hide the wing braces?
But the plan view looks like the South African KUDU?

If it is - please give control to Longer ron.
Cheers.

Hi and thanks Noyade - although I wasn't actually competing as I thought you had accepted 'Stout' as the answer :O - Doh ! :)

Happy to leave control with Ombinda and his aircraft on post #4870
