stu7708 244 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks kind of like a Beechcraft B19 Musketeer Sport (but to be honest it doesn't really fit with the rest of your description)... Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 No, that's not it either. I guess this really was a hard one. John Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 This is a toughie - can make out the word on the tail to start with 'P', then ending in about 3 numbers? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 It was manufactured in the US. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'd say it looks like a Piaggio, can't remember the exact model name. We've got one at Goodwood! (scrap that they're built in Italy not the USA.) Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Possibly a Meyers / Aero Commander 200 Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Possibly a Meyers / Aero Commander 200 Bingo, Alan, and bravo! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Aircraft_Company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_200 Your turn.

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks John, that was a real long shot as the only pic I have of one is turboprop version with the swept fin!! it was the cabin design that gave it away. anyway have a go at this one. Probably fairly easy... Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Alan it looks like a Slingsby glider to me. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 ...as the only pic I have of one is turboprop version with the swept fin!! Check out the links I posted - pretty good set of photos there. John Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Alan it looks like a Slingsby glider to me. Might be, but which one? They built loads and other companies produced similar! Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Good one, Kieran. I wasted a lot of time looking at Savio Marchetti aircraft. It's a Northrop YC-125 - not Italian at all. John Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, I went out for breakfast again this morning, so lost some time there. John Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yep! I was going to say the same, strange looking beast, originally called the N23 Pioneer, redesignated the YC125 Raider in USAF service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YC-125_Raider Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 This one shouldn't be too difficult. John Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 was it always a turboprop aircraft or did it start life as a piston type? Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 At first I thought Quest Kodiak but i'm not sure now Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 It's available with conventional flat-6 piston engine, a radial or a turbine. I suspect this one was built with the turbine. John Link to post Share on other sites
