dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I do indeed remember that post. it showed a whole tangle of bits with just a tail unit being the only clearly identifiable part. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 We're starting to repeat ourselves. I recall posting a picture (possibly a year ago - in this thread) of one of the Airtruck wrecks with the registration blocked out. I went looking and couldn't find it. The pictures are victims of a mis-placed cleanup in SmugMug. This means they won't be available to the thread. I may still find them in a hard drive backup. Edit: I believe Alan identified the a/c that time. March, That you did. However, Kieren's post was of a different aircraft. Similar, but certainly not the same. The one you posted was the later redesigned aircraft produced by a different company. Cheers Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Apart from the engine and the stub wings, both essentially the same aircraft. ......a plug ugly flying wheelbarrow! Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Looks like it might be a Eagle Aircraft 150B, made in Australia.... John Link to post Share on other sites

Quickmarch 488 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought, for a second, that it must be Canadian With a hockey stick handle propping up the tail. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I saw that pole there - wasn't sure what it was. I concluded that maybe it was an ugly-stick, which obviously must have been used when designing and building that monstrosity. It is an innovative design aerodynamically, however, with three lifting surfaces, kind of like the Piaggio P180. I guess the Italians did it with a little more style. In most AC, the elevator produces a significant down-pressure. In AC with three lifting surfaces, the elevator, wing and canard all produce positive lift in normal flight.

J G 927 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yak 50 (1949)? I am sure its not the North American F86-D as the tail is wrong for that, and I don't think it is the Fiat G.91 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Neither of those 3 John. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh Alan, such a distinctive empennage, it's a visual assault, but it's a mystery. Looks like a double advance of IIIM, but in other circles, it's designator refers to Ivanhoe Mines. Cheers Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 934 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I know John A has guessed it based on my cryptic clues. Leave it go for a while to give the others a chance and someone else can claim it if they wish. I must say this one was very much unlike you, you normally don't make them that easy.

Looks like a double advance of IIIM, but in other circles, it's designator refers to Ivanhoe Mines. I have met many a lady with a distinctive empennage, and some of them have been a visual assault. When I was young I sometimes had to double my advance and often as not I ended up in a hole. As for the aircraft, I haven't a clue, even after your cryptic efforts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I ended up in a hole. As for the aircraft, I haven't a clue, even after your cryptic efforts. I guess it depends in which hole you were kissing......and how! Link to post Share on other sites
