Jurca Tempete MJ 2

So it is David – that’s great, thank you!

I can’t help feeling that the guys in the Piaggio drawing office had been smoking something funny that day…

Its a Piaggio Avanti

While we are identifying the odd, can anyone put me out of my misery? I know it’s a modern type, but I very rarely drop into GA so I’m more likely to spot it here. I don’t even know where to start googling it! Not having seen it at any low level doesn’t help.

It looks like the Rutan brothers put out a Learjet cow to run with their bulls – obviously small bizturboprop in size with a canard, and two pusher engines.

Bright ideas?

Thanks,

Adrian

Maybe someone should give the North Weald tower controller the Observer Book of Aircraft as a birthday present!

Quite a common-ish type:

Suppose it should rightly be considered an historic design, given its first flight date.

Mind you, I’m holding out for the Jurca MJ10 flying….
