what aircraft

I’m not too hot on commercial aircraft, so can anyone identify this type, seen in 1961? Any info would be gratefully received.

Polish built PZL Wilga.

Should have a entry on wikipedia should you wish to find out more about the type.

For more on this British ‘one-off’ experimental aircraft, a good place to start is:

Not the best looking aircraft ever, but at least the 126 had the excuse of being a flying test bed, look up Short Seamew and just think this was intended as a Fleet Air Arm plane, garden shed with wings is a polite description.

I suggest that you post this query in the military aircraft section. They are experts.

Yep, Aer Lingus took delivery of several Fokker F-27-100 friendship’s in the late 1950ties. It wil most probably be one of those.

Thanks very much indeed guys! I couldn’t ask for quicker answers than that, and it looks like you’re spot on. Cheers.

I would say it is a fokker F-27. But I don’t know which subtype.
