Martyn 9 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Rudder pedals? Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Rudder pedals? They are indeed... Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 looks to me like a warbird... of the propeller kind. or am i sniffing at the wrong fence post? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 But, it would seem, without toe brakes. Is that a clue for anyone? It doesn't ring a bell for me. EDIT - Helicopter? Glider? John Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 looks to me like a warbird... of the propeller kind. or am i sniffing at the wrong fence post? Warbird...no. Although thats not to say that this aircraft has not seen a fair old bit of action. EDIT - Helicopter? Glider? Nope and Nope. Link to post Share on other sites

Although thats not to say that this aircraft has not seen a fair old bit of action. hmm.. ok, so vintage...but not a warbird... that is if you classify a warbird only as a fighter... would we be seeing the rudder area of a British designed and built aircraft?

mulletman 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 hmm.. ok, so vintage...but not a warbird... that is if you classify a warbird only as a fighter... My definition of warbird is any aircraft that has seen conflict action. So the Panavia Tornado, Avro Vulcan, Supermarine Spitfire, Avro Lancaster. Vintage yes. Warbird no. :yes: would we be seeing the rudder area of a British designed and built aircraft? Nope. This one is not one of ours. Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 :yes: not a warbird, but vintage.. and not British. hmm, looks like im back to square 1, i'm beat for this evening! anymore clues? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I don't have a guess yet... I think I see a wood flight deck... That crook in the stick or control column is odd, but the perspective is hard to make out. I have the sense that we're seeing the copilot's left rudder pedal and the pilot's right, but not sure. If so, is there a similar crooked control column out of the shot on the far left for the pilot's station? Could the apparent lack of toe brakes indicate a flying boat? Now there's a thought. EDIT - Is it a Grumman Goose? John Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't have a guess yet...I think I see a wood flight deck... That crook in the stick or control column is odd, but the perspective is hard to make out..................... Could the apparent lack of toe brakes indicate a flying boat? Now there's a thought. i too an thinking this could be something along the lines of a flying boat.. maybe an amphibious craft... i'm thinking maybe DeHavilland of Canada... possibly the DHC-3 Beaver?

mulletman 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Not a DHC-3 and not a Goose. I can see this is not going in the right direction, so here is another shot. Few more clues in this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 So its a vintage, one engined prop aircraft? Link to post Share on other sites

Martyn 9 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Too difficult? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That's a great shot Martyn. Just give us a while to work it out and have a guess :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Martyn, I don't know what it is, but it looks like you're running the boost too high.... :mrhappy: Have some pity on those poor engines. :wink: John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Convair 440, I think. It seems to be a twin-engine propliner, modern enough to have air conditioning and the parent company is in California. There are other possibilities, including a couple of earlier Convairs.

Martyn 9 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Nope, not the Convair 440. I'm thinking this may be too hard! but it looks like you're running the boost too high This shot was taken after slewing up and whacking on full throttle. I was at work so couldnt really take a leisure flight(unfortunately). Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 ok, so, clues time me thinks... we have, i think, two (possibly 3) clues from the image: 1 - its a twin turbo-prop 2 - it has air con. 3 - its Parent company is in California as for the aircraft, i havent a clue, but im sure others can suggest possibles...Martyn, any clues for us lesser mortals mate?
