Pictures Wanted of G-ARHP

Is that a Cessna 170 behind ‘RP? Looks quite tidy, whatever it is.

I think it is a Cessna 180 but I’m not quite sure about that. It was owned by Rolls-Royce restorers P&A Wood then (had their logo on the tail as well), Andrew(?) Wood drove the Napier Railton on that day I remember. I’ve tried a search on G-INFO but couldn’t find out which registration goes with it. Perhaps someone else can fill in the blanks.

Do New Piper still hold the type certificate for the -22? (he asked wondering about PFA Permits).

You can’t fly one at the moment on permit.

Lets see what EASA brings :rolleyes:

Bit late for Stewart’s project, but worth adding anyway I figured.

Brooklands Fly-in, summer of 1999.

Same thing innit. Bit like someone last year berating me for not knowing the difference between a Piper Dakota and a Piper Charger. I ask you… :rolleyes:

Anyway what other classic GA type could you get for the same performance for under £25k? Not much. We were considering purchasing such a type last year. Rarely come up on the market though – must be cherished by their owners?

Yes but how do you visually distinguish between a Carib and a Tripe?

Easy-Peasy

It’s written on the side.

(And that is genuine ‘spotters knowledge’ from the 1960s 🙂 )

I thought the Colt was 108hp, the Caribbean 150hp and the Tri-Pacer 160hp?

I’ll put my anorak away now!

Well done AF go to the front of the class(but don’t take your books-you won’t be staying long 😀 ) you have the figures right. Doesn’t it make you feel better knowing that you are not the only anorak on the forum?

Boones farm sorry AN 225!

Sorry was given duff info last week as it was in for a service only 🙁

I suppose this should really be at Historic, but there are some Horham veterans at Old Buck on Saturday (14 May) lunchtime.

Do you know I’ve been thinking about having an ‘H in a box’ on the tail of the Colt to echo the B17s that used to fly from Knettishall.

Nice thought and certainly would be an unusual but subtle tribute.

Looks like a company to keep in mind for our next covering…

Hi Stewart,

Have a look on the Vintage Fabrics website. I have some photos of the G-ARHP in the Completed Jobs section.

I may be able to find some more from the restoration. I’ll try to dig them out and add to the website.

I see BlueRobin has already posted one on here from the website…

I thought the Tri-Pi was 140bhp – so +32bhp ?

Never flown one so can’t comment.

Still exists on the Maule. Initially your feet don’t know what to do so take some practice. Makes it more difficult to throw about as the rudder seems to hunt for it’s balance.

Yup. The rudder does seem to fight the ailerons.

Mind you some of the early Tri-Pi had a system that interlinked the rudder and yoke so that you didn’t need to use your legs.

Ghastly business, designed to make them more ‘car-like’

Usually 150 horses. We were trying to buy one last year with a factory-fit VP prop. Have only flown a PA22 convert meself. Reminded me about adverse yaw in that you have to dial a bit off the turn when you’ve got it co-ordinated much like our current aeroplane. Is the Colt the same?
