Ruzzo 59 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Perhaps it's an RAF Flying Club aircraft? - Just a guess.. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 He says it's listed as privately registered. Quite possibly a former RAF pilot, or a wannabe one. It looks a lot like a Grumman AA5 Tiger but the nose gear is not quite right and the windshield center post doesn't quite match. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not a Grumman Tiger John, Thats what I thought it was when it came in, I quickly realised it wasn't though. Link to post Share on other sites

Quickmarch 488 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Don't know what it is, but it's got the hairiest looking narrow track main gear setup. It must work well as a drag brake. Even stranger than the 182RG. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Looks like a wasp the way that gear hangs down. Link to post Share on other sites
