kasper Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Well that's a well known oddball - a ford model A engine on a Dingbat never found out if its based on a taylor monoplane but its a Watkinson Dingbat by my recall with a Carden Ford engine
red750 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Yes, it's the Dingbat alright. Can't answer on the engine, and it's too late to start digging around again.
kasper Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Well I’ll guess Jodel for the wing but twin tandem seating and glider tug... hmmmm.
derekliston Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Sheer, pure guess. Pilot Sprite, designed by Pilot magazine in UK a lot of years ago, or another, because of the tug inference, Mitchell-Proctor Kittiwake?

Kittiwake has the same very forward noseleg as the pic but not sure they had taper on the outer panel of the wing. Practavia sprite did not to my recall have the outboard dihedrtal but straight sihedetalfeom rhe wing root.
bexrbetter Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 It had a supercharger you could select on/off manually. Was his name Max by chance .....

red750 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 It is an ACBA Midour glider tug made by the Aéro Club du Bas Armagnac, France, 1990s. Now try this..
Roundsounds Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Was his name Max by chance ..... No, Bob. You’d be thinking of Max Munro?
kasper Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Big tail and Spanish roundels lead me to the AISA/Iberavia I-11b
bexrbetter Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 It is an ACBA Midour glider tug made by the Aéro Club du Bas Armagnac, France, 1990s. I was going to post that it was made by Socata, it looked so darn French, but I searched every Socata model and drew a blank.
Marty_d Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 AIDC AT-3 Any idea why a Chinese trainer is painted in what looks very similar to Thunderbird scheme?
red750 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I have 35 aircraft so far in this current series. This is number 9, first posted on Monday. No guesses to date.
djpacro Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I think I know but just can’t recall the name ... UK some years ago?
red750 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Yes Dave, UK plane from the 80's. Known by 2 names, I'll accept either.
djpacro Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Nope .... somewhere in my garage I have a report assessing the cost of putting it into production (if my memory is correct). It came along after this one https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1981/1981 - 3419.PDF
