allardjd 1,853 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 How's about telling the rest of us what it is? John Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Who? Me or Dai? Anyway, it's a 737-200 Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Sorry, John - B737-200 "Classic" - steam guages, same engines (almost) as the B727, most produced large jet-powered civilian aircraft (I think) - say no more... O.K., here you go: You may know it - more clues if'n you don't. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I think I know it, but not sure Anyway, I'll let some else have a turn Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looks like it could be something aerobatic Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm thinking it's a copter - odd stick, odd placement of it. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm thinking it's a copter - odd stick, odd placement of it. I thought the same thing. The stick and that little window next to the pedals does point in that direction, but it does look like there's a prop spinning outside the windscreen... In other words I have no idea what where to even start guessing.. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Auto-gyro? Didn't Dai do a from-scratch aircraft-thingy in Gmax a while back that was part auto-gyro and part whiskey bottle? Maybe it's that. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 O.K. - clue two: Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Ulrik Motzfeldt 2 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is it Aerolites Falcon ? Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Good thinking, Ulrik - it is similar, great lift but with 2 seats... BTW, did they ever find his body? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 This is what I *think* it is - Falconar Golden Hawk Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think you'd better tell us Dai..... Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 O.K. - one last clue: You must know it... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 945 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ah Dai, Ever, the eclectic and obscure. The stick yoke and your penchant for helicopters initially served to confuse, but gliders also have a stick type yoke. In this case, it is a Grob G 109 (probably the B variant), touring motor glider. In RAF service as the Vigilant T1. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 It was you showing the aircraft from the tailwheel that confused me! Well done Andrew! Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well Done, Andrew - you pipped the Birthday Boy to the post! One of these trainers (hence the picture of 'plimsoles' - hah, remember when we used to call 'em that?!?) flew across the valley, recently. Identified as a Grob from RAF Cosford, just a few miles east of us. A cross between a glider and a small GA - must be fun. Sorry about the joystick confusion... Me - eclectic? I'll have to think about that! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 945 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Guys, I am searching through my 'hangar' for something worthy of the challenge and I will have images up tomorrow by the time you wake up. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 945 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 OK then. My choice. Knowing this esteemed group, it is probably not as obscure as I think. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I spy with my little eye something that looks like a P6 compass...... Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hehehehe - I know it! Thought I'd seen it before! There's a rather nice 'glove box' on the right..... Link to post Share on other sites
