Guess again guess again

I used 303 protectant on my Skyranger then left in in a hangar while I was OS for 6 weeks last winter. When I came back my aircraft was covered in mold/fungus wherever the 303 had been applied and the un treated Thruster in the same hangar that also hadn't moved for the 6 weeks was clear of mold. in my experience it is fungus fodder Davidh

Yes Yenn; you got one of the planes and Facthunter was on the right track with the Pobjoy engines. The two aircraft are the General Aircraft Limited GAL 38, and the Airspeed 39. I have posted an article about these two, which also includes some info on the Pobjoy engines and their designer and a reference to the author Neville Shute's involvement in one of these deigns cheers Davidh

another clue This is not the same aircraft as posted before although both were built in response to the design spec created by the men from the ministry

one for Decca Is this the one that you asked for Decca?

That would have to be it!

Thanks. Still haven't figured out the Maj's tripple tailed beast might be however. dh

The Boeing connection is that Bill Boeing purchased a DC 5 as his personal transport. I think that would have been after he sold out of the Boeing Aircraft company. Interesting to know what the tripple tailed DC 5 that the Maj has knowledge of

The picture with the link was not posted until after Decca correctly identified it as DC 5

A dozen were built. Some were operated by KLM and they did have 2 engines and there is a boeing connection

there is a direct connection with Boeing and the DC5

DC 5 it be. What is the connection to Boeing?
