I could be wrong too, but wasn’t the Deltic English Electric?
-
Sorry if this is thread drift, but like the difference between steam locomotives and diesels!

A long time ago, when I was about 16 and an apprentice working at Edinburgh (Turnhouse) airport there was, were??? A C130 and an Argosy of the RAF parked on our apron and I had the opportunity to wander through both. I recall the Argosy flight deck just about having room for the crew whilst the C130 had room for the crew, a bunk and a galley. In the cargo hold the Argosy hydraulics we’re all bonding strips and lockwire whilst the C130 had nary a bonding strip or lockwire to be seen! My very first experience of something with which I became familiar in later years in BOAC. Parker flareless connections!

Oh come on, I love the old Beverly, quite unique really and when you think it is about the same vintage as the C130, how could you not love it too?

There was a French one I just had to look up too Sud-Ouest Djinn with tip jets which I think (didn’t look this bit up!) was powered by a Turbomeca Artouste!
-
Possibly sound a lot like the Fairey Gyrodyne or Rotodyne? In other words Bloody loud!
-
Funny how they never succeed. That one, Edgeley Optica and Seabird Seeker all chased the same market and apparently sank without trace.

Does your ultralight have a transponder?
derekliston replied to danny_galaga's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
I have Dynon Skyview with transponder and ADSB out. Zenith CH701 which is VH registered but could be RAA. -
In that case mate, I don’t have a clue!!!

Another stall spin crash (usa)
derekliston replied to Thruster88's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Ignoring everything else, in that report this is reported as a Cessna 177RG Amateur built???? -
Not quite sure what you mean by built in crosswinds but I’ll try again anyway! The Ercoupe?

Well bully for you old chap, you must be a delight to know personally! The question was asked, my answer was given, nowhere did I or anyone else suggest that was the only answer!
-
Seventy plus years of being an aeroplane nut helps! Memory goes back to seeing the Bristol Brabazon fly over Edinburgh. Add to that a bookshelf full of reference books and you have your answer!
-
Haven’t seen that version of it before!
-
Bit of a cheat really, not so much a guess as an ‘I know I’ve seen it before’ now I need to find it in my 60+ years worth of aircraft reference materials. Sometimes I can find it before anyone else, sometimes I can’t find it at all!

Fouga Gemeaux
-
Only telling you what she said!!! Irrelevant because here in Qld we are not currently in lockdown! Who knows for how long though???
-
When Qld was in lockdown our CHO said, live on television,” A pilot getting into his aeroplane and going for a fly isn’t a threat, of course he isn’t” I was happy to take her at her word!

Possibly the one that now resides in the Queensland Air Museum?
