red750 Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Spot on Peter. I thought it would take a little longer. This one should go in 5 minutes. 1
derekliston Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Possibly wrong but looks a lot like a Beagle Airedale?
derekliston Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I used to help service one back around 1965 in Edinburgh. Quite a luxurious machine although typical early Beagle, probably heavy for what was the British equivalent of a C172. Had an interesting, supposedly thrust augmenter exhaust system.
derekliston Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Do you ever wonder if Beagle failed because they were all dogs, literally, Terrier, Airedale, Pup and Bulldog? I don’t remember if the twins had names, only remember their numbers! 1
pmccarthy Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 The yellow and white twins the Flying Doctor used were very smart.
red750 Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 There is a picture of one of them in the Aircraft section. Beagle B.206 profile. 1
planedriver Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I remember the Beagle 206's at Shoreham at the time I had my very first lesson in an an Auster, and also the Beagle Pup which I thought was really streamlined for it's time. However Beagle's management needed more people that knew what was really needed, so the large scale of sales envisaged sadly never really materialised long term.

Without wishing to cause too much thread drift I have a story about Beagle. As a young know it all apprentice I visited Rearsby in the very early days of Beagle. I was actually doing an aircraft design course at Loughborough University ( I like telling people that, but it was actually a short course for amateurs held at the University over an Easter weekend!) Anyway, part of it was a visit to Beagle and I with all my knowledge told them that the Pup, with all it’s stretch formed skins, dissimilar material welding and complex oleo style main undercarriage was too complex to be a success. Strangely I was right. At that time they had two light twins, the B206 and another which was smaller and I don’t think went into production. 1

red750 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Kinda thought you would be the one to get it Peter.
APenNameAndThatA Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 So... Airedales had a nasty reputation for lacking rudder authority? No? Didn't think so.
onetrack Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 The Diamond D-jet. A single engine 5 seater, it has never reached production status, and the Diamond Aircraft company was purchased by the Chinese Wanfeng company in Dec 2016.
onetrack Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 The Polish personal business jet, Flaris LAR 1. The prototype has received CAA permission for flight testing. https://flaris.pl/news/
red750 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 You can find them quicker than I can. Has to be image search.
