    The CF-700 looks in principle not unlike this Pommie job? And it would have been Besler whose engine was in the Travelair mentioned on the display panel ...[ATTACH=full]1530[/ATTACH][ATTACH]18326[/ATTACH]

    Thanks Pete I'll put its name to the file image I have. Early onset Altzheimers, perhaps?

    My next offering... dunno what it is & it's not posted here as a "whatizzit" - however, someone will no doubt work it out. [ATTACH=full]1517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18323[/ATTACH]

    Thanks Scotty - much appreciated. What an incredible aircraft! Like a furshluginer airborne lounge room/bedroom combined! Now for something equally built to a purpose and not to aesthetics... [ATTACH=full]1516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18322[/ATTACH]

    And when your Antoinette V8 isn't giving you the grunt you want ... [ATTACH=full]1514[/ATTACH] Or you can go even further... [ATTACH]18320[/ATTACH]

    Couldn't get that Oshkosh link to work - dunno why. Today's dumb question: did they somehow fly that Avid what-not from Canada or did they do the sensible thing & have it freighted here?:confused:

    Used to be a similar identifing feature at Parafield. Not sure how long since it was removed but it can still just be made out. [ATTACH]1496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18314[/ATTACH]

    Well it's most certainly not, is it!
  10. siznaudin
    Yep .. that's how you scare the opposition: poke your tongue out at 'em.
  11. siznaudin
    Shapely, eh...? :confused:

    Pou du Ciel ... here's another fine French aesthetic product. [ATTACH=full]1488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18311[/ATTACH]

    And it's a Pobjoy powered ????

    Oh dear oh dear - that would have cost the long suffering American taxpayers a packet.:rolleyes:

    Interesting: more here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer_Channel_Wing Got me thinking about blown flaps... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap And the A380 employs them, if I read correctly.

    They may be built-to-a-purpose, but in the back of my mind on looking at one is often the word hydrocephalus - and a bad case thereof!

    Merveilleux - merçi beaucoup! La musique est parfait ... toutes mes félicitations!

    Here's my all-time favourite, the Blackburn Blackburn (pardon my speech impediment, or was it just an echo!) [ATTACH=full]1463[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18299[/ATTACH]

    That's what I was looking at too, but it weren't, were it! I thought ... why are there TWO Pipers in the background? ... and voila ! http://www.pipermuseum.com/Projects/Museum Projects.html Took a while to get myself away from the Temco/Globe thing, though.

    And here's a link to the engine info... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobs_R-915#Applications

    Canadian - but it doesn't look particularly fleet of foot to me... :D

    I think the Jumo series stemmed from the opposed piston engines installed side by side in U boats. There was a turbo charged Jumo, perhaps the one referred to in the Wiki article as the high altitude application. The Commer "knocker" was a way of halving the road tax payable under the Pommie RAC horsepower rating system. A very heavy solution, too!

    I'm intending that this thread be primarily for "older" aircraft engines, but as often happens, some more "modern" stuff might creep in under the veil of "unusual". ;) Here's a start - revealed to me recently as a result of involvement with an old car forum. The Globe-Dayton. The story goes that there are only TWO of these surviving. One in the collection as per the website http://www.memaerobilia.com/engineselection.asp and the other in this recently "created" vehicle in the UK. [ATTACH]1440[/ATTACH] And here's the engine... a Ford A (3 litre) based thing. [ATTACH=full]1441[/ATTACH] I can only guess that the cooling in the vehicle application will be somewhat marginal in anything other than a typical Pommie winter. [ATTACH]18289[/ATTACH]

    Sometime in our Grey Nomading future I hope that we can get to stop over in one of the bunker/motel units. Without Willie's starting this thread I would never have been aware of the strip. Fantastic stuff. :)
