red750 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Close enough. May be known by different names in different places. Initial image listed as AMD Alarus (or Alerus) CH2000 trainer. Same horse, different jockey.
bexrbetter Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Close enough. May be known by different names in different places. It's all a bit confusing, Zenair, Zenith, Zenith Air, AMD, Newplane, all the same company basically, not sure why all the run around.
Marty_d Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 It's all a bit confusing, Zenair, Zenith, Zenith Air, AMD, Newplane, all the same company basically, not sure why all the run around. I thought it was the "Zenith Aircraft Company" which gets contracted to "Zenair" in their website etc. "Zenith" of course being an anagram of Heintz.
facthunter Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 You are a smarty, Marty. I wouldn't have realised that. Nev
bexrbetter Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 "Zenith" of course being an anagram of Heintz. And all these years I thought his name meant beans.

Marty_d Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 You are a smarty, Marty. I wouldn't have realised that. Nev I'd like to be able to take credit for the insight, but to be honest I read it in their literature somewhere... 2

red750 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 That was quick HF! The photo came from an album of photos taken at 2017 EAA Airventre at Oshkosh. The album contains 886 photos like this one and the ones below. If you have a wet afternoon to fill you might find it interesting. A link to the album is also shown below.

rep003 Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Very nice 83 Correct Sir . A truly lovely DH83 that was apparently a "Flying Doctor" in OZ in 1935!
Birdseye Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Correct Sir .A truly lovely DH83 that was apparently a "Flying Doctor" in OZ in 1935! Another one of the family, the same aircraft I believe I helped to start and taxy at Shoreham many moons ago. 1
cscotthendry Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 I may have already posted this. If so ... Too bad:tongue in cheek:
bexrbetter Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 I may have already posted this. If so ... It's the Rutan Grizzly, what other plane ever had 4 flaps ... I love canards, but this was a pathetic waste of breath outside of their typical mission.

Old Koreelah Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I believe Douglas Mawson was the first to take an aircraft to Antarctica. It was damaged en-route during a storm and later used to tow sleds. It was housed under the "verandah" of Mawson's Hut, where it might still be...
red750 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 It's not an aircraft, at least in this photo. It was a Vickers REP aircraft taken to Antarctica by Sir Douglas Mawson, but was damaged before it took off. It was converted to a propeller driven sled, but was not successful. 1
bunyips Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Nice work... Jut found an article on it. Australian team restoring Mawsons hut have appently found the airframe. The wings were originally left back in Australia during a Demonstration Flight in Adelaide and yes it was converted to a sled. But the Vickers motor had troubles in the temps so was sent back to England :) 2
