AAAAAH, thats the one I was thinking of Tinny. :ok:
watching the F27 getting close to a ground loop would be an eye opening sight for sure. I remember having big eyes the first time I applied brakes in the sea Devon (Dove)..... certainly had English brakes.:eek:

Tigers of a different stripe
 

Sorry Wiz, tinny - but this is a common and oft repeated misconception.

The tandem 2 seat Canadian built Tigers - the DH-82C were a very different beast to the 3/4 seat Thruxton Jackaroo.

Actually, It is the aircraft I was think of.

Me neither, never seen one them Canuck moths.
Doubt anyone would have bothered with 1941 aeroplanes darnunder, but they would go for the Thruxton post 1957, they bought lots of crap off the Poms in exchange for a slab of frozen lamb
The Auster Agricola springs to mind, erm, ANY Auster...:uhoh:

Hello! Its 1957 and I am looking to buy an aeroplane.

Will I buy one of these fine looking aircraft (1957 Thruxton Jackeroo)

Geez, you would really struggle with that decision, wouldn't you!

I know which one I would buy these days.......... and it doesn't have Cessna in its name. :}

Oh silly me! I'll cash the Roller and buy one of these!

Doubt all you like tinpis - you simply don't know do you?

Yes, and some had automatically deployed leading edge slats. I believe the Tiger was the RAF's first swept wing aircraft as well.

Always prepared to be enlightened Mr Fitter.

Drover
 

BTW Wiz, the Drover is actually 3 Chipmunks in close formation! :O

G'day ;)

All the PNG "cadets" retired now Feather#3?
