Quickmarch 488 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Those switches look Piper. But also used by other manufacturers. I'd say Mooney. Cheers, March Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Not a P180 John, http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=fgQ&sa=X&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=fflb&biw=1024&bih=600&tbm=isch&tbnid=TlR8LwIxmFepHM:&imgrefurl=http://www.jetbrokers.com/P180Avanti1015c.html&docid=FxGLQGiR6W8crM&imgurl=http://www.jetbrokers.com/P180Avanti1015c.jpg&w=640&h=480&ei=zrjVUNaxDOmo0QXn6oGwBw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=401&sig=107831757146857112833&page=2&tbnh=152&tbnw=195&start=14&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:21,s:0,i:157&tx=97&ty=73 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'd say it's a Tecnam, probably the 2006 but could also be the Sierra as both panels are similar and both have been fitted with glass or analogue cockpits depending on the customer. I'd plump for the 2006T in this case. http://www.google.co...:87,s:300,i:265 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?start=409&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=X&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=fflb&biw=1024&bih=600&tbm=isch&tbnid=wI8VNdMeWj9dmM:&imgrefurl=http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm%3Fdo%3Dmain.textpost%26id%3Dcdd364e2-4f0d-4b1d-abdc-65f525837a2b&docid=fHJx3Qqa40vlfM&imgurl=http://www.aero-news.net/images/content/general/2009/Tecnam-Twin-P2006T-0709b.jpg&w=400&h=266&ei=zLvVUNOiE4qa0QXu04HYAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=710&vpy=52&dur=109&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=197&ty=78&sig=107831757146857112833&page=24&tbnh=143&tbnw=201&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:400,i:43 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 That looks like it Alan. Never heard of it but they have some nice looking aircraft. Although most of them look very similar to other manufactured planes. I went through a lot of pic's but couldn't find a yoke that looked like that. Most of them all have a center hub with something on it. Good job Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yes, it is the Tecnam P2006T! On to you, Alan. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks mate, I had a feeling it might be as got a good look at one earlier this year at Goodwood. What threw me at first was the CRT screen in the picture. It looked like the studs round the bottom were bolts like you'd find on boat windows hence me thinking it may be a hovercraft. Closer inspection revealed what the "window" really was ! Anyway, Have a go at this one. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Another clue, It was largely copied by another country and is in service with them! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 come-on you lot, surely someone must know what this thing is ! I thought I'd be assaulted with ideas by now! Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Could it be a PBN Nomad, a red-haired step-child variant of the PBY Catalina? John Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Surely someone must have got this by now! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Still looking. They sure built alot of planes over the years. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Last clue, it lost out to something very famous in the aviation world! Link to post Share on other sites
GHAO 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Not a Russian something or other..? They've reverse-engineered a lot over the years. The 'not been in service' is really stumping me! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nope, it's not Russian.........however they definitaly borrowed a lot of design cues from it! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'll take a stab with the Saunders-Roe SR A/1 but I don't think it's right. I'm not reading the clues right because, to me, the three pic's look like totally different aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
