OK guys, kasper has thrown down the challenge. Anyone else want to guess?

Not the Glassgoose either.

Not the Petrel.

It is indeed. Now for something a little different.

Got it. Just a bit more than half the size of the C 160, and the predecessor of the RAAF's Spartans.

You will no doubt know this oldie.

I don't believe it.... No.

You're right again k, as usual. This one should be simple, also.

Yes kasper, there might be a couple of double-ups along the way. The hard disk on my tower pc packed it in with my image files and spreadsheet summary, so I'm working from memory. I am processing these on my laptop and had to build a new library of images. As usual, you are correct about the ARV.

Pretty sure you haven't seen this one on here before.

Very close - the yellow one is the Brown B-1, predecessor to the B-2. As for the AMX, it was listed as the AMX Acol, which appears to be a variant of the AMX platform, but wiki doesn't have any data on it.

How about this one. Nosewheel looks a little unusual with the wheel ahead of the leg.

Bit of a thread bump - there are two planes to identify, the yellow one and the grey one. It's been a few days.....

Hi Jacana, welcome to the forum.

Just by way of explanation, I am working my way through a listing of aircraft by manufacturer. The list only contains manufacturers who have 3 or more registered aircraft. There are 245 with a name commencing with A, and I'm only halfway through them. Not all have photos, and I've only used fixed wing aircraft so far, so I have a lot to go till I get to Z. I don't use easily recognised ones (although members like kasper seem to recognise some obscure ones). Previously I used the daily upload list, but these became mainly airliner photos (60 photos of a 737, etc).

It seems you may be right in a way, although that's not the name I found it under. This design seems to have had a colorful history, and a number of names. Starting as the Farnborough F1, then Kestral, then Epic comes into the picture, and when Epic folded the international rights were acquired by China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (CAIGA). I have also seen photos of the same aircraft, B-00NC Called the Primus 150, but the name I saw it under initially was the AVIC I XAC AG300. All very confusing.

Hopefully, this one is not so convoluted.

There was a plane awaiting identification on the IPS platform, and I'll leave that in case Ian restores the missing posts, otherwise Ill post it again later. In the meantime, I'll post the next one in the list. What is this?

Either one is OK by me. This will get me hate mail, but I think there are some having difficulty coming to grips with the concept of remote controls for their TV.

No doubt about you, kasper, you're good.

You will no doubt get this one too, I just put them up because, from the PM's I receive, many people have not seen them before.

Absolutely correct in every detail.

And now this.....

That's it.

How about this oldie?

The aircraft was originally known as the Trago Mills Ltd SAH 1 but later became known as the FLS Sprint. Wiki write-up here.

Next:

Yes Dave, UK plane from the 80's. Known by 2 names, I'll accept either.

I have 35 aircraft so far in this current series. This is number 9, first posted on Monday. No guesses to date.

I saw a program on Foxtel last night regarding the crash of the Long Eze in which John Denver died. Some may already know this, that his plane had been modified from the original. Firstly, the visual fuel indicator was in a location which required him to use a mirror to see it. Secondly, the fuel tank selector switch had been relocated behind his left shoulder, so that he had to reach his right arm across his chest and shoulder to reach it.  In addition, the switch was very stiff to turn. As John was short of stature, he used a feather pillow behind him to allow him to reach the rudder pedals.

Investigators were confused when feathers were found in what was left of the aircraft and in the water, and at first suspected a bird strike as there were a lot of large pelicans in the area. However, the feathers were identified as Canada Goose, a species not present in California. The final determination was that he took off with insufficient fuel, and when the engine spluttered, he stretched his right foot against the rudder while trying to turn to reach the fuel switch.  This caused the plane to bank, and as he was only at 600 ft, he had insufficient height to recover. He hit with such force that the plane disintegrated, and his body was dismembered almost beyond recognition.

Correct FV.

Yes, kasper, the Peque.

It is an ACBA Midour glider tug made by the Aéro Club du Bas Armagnac, France, 1990s.

Now try this..
