Sturdee Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 We have recently come back from holiday in the UK and Russia, we were in my wife's home town and my son took me down to a new WW2 display, it had some tanks and anti-aircraft guns with placards telling us all about the equipment, in Russian by the way, but the aircraft in the photo was just added to the display and did not have a placard erected yet to tell us what it was and it's history.Anyone know what type of aircraft it is, looks to me to be a plane from the late 1930's, anyone know it?David[ATTACH=full]37187[/ATTACH] An2 give it a wide berth if departing behind, it produces a huge vortices. Huge beast with the radial engine.

red750 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Very close, in fact I think it's pretty much a rip-off. The manufacturer makes parts for Cessna, Piper, Taylorcraft, and was started in the 60's by two brothers.

red750 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 HITC, I refer to your post #417 on page 21 about the shadow of the U2. Looking through some old photos, I came across this Google satellite view of Moorabbin Airport showing a helicopter with its blades rotating. You can see the time lapse between the red, green and blue shutter exposures.
IBob Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 #535..no idea...but I can put them on to a good panel-beater...)

rep003 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Is it a Ryan PT22 . The same model Harrison Ford "Parked" on the golf course?
Mick Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Fairchild PT-23. A radial engined version of the PT-19.
red750 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Correct Mick. The company generic ID was M62. The PT-19 had an inline 6cyl engine, PT23 had a radial engine, and PT26 had enclosed cockpit. Next one:
Deskpilot Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I've know idea but I want info on those leading edges as I'm planning the same for my Thruster mods. Alternative V.G.'s if you're wondering. SketchUp model.
Thruster88 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 IndUs Skyskooter a development of John Thorpes 1945 T-211
red750 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 To add a bit of a twist, what is unusual about this aircraft?
Deskpilot Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Blimey, bounce that too hard and the wheel bay doors will leave furrows in the runway.
