Reid & Sigrist Snargasher – Post Your Photos Here

Seek…. and ye shall find!

Despite my post being rather tongue in cheek, aimed at the ever increasing amount of “Post your pictures of………”, it has produced a wonderful selection of oddly named aircraft…

Hendy Heck anyone?

i measure you on my screen as 94mm!:diablo:

Very funny. 😀 I’ll see you outside, with your toy army. 😉

It’s currently in storage at Snibston discovery park, owned by Leicestershire County Council, with two Auster’s and a Taylorcraft Plus C/2

According to the GINFO site, G-AGOS is currently de-registered. Its long list of owners makes an interesting read. Seen here at Christchurch circa 1962.

Sorry for the minor thread creep, but just had a look at Wikipedia page for the Snargasher, which led me on to the R.S.3 / R.S.4 Desford. States there that it was in flyable condition until 1973, but I was under the impression that it was still airworthy at Strathallan until later then that…. Can anyone confirm or deny ?

Definitely airworthy at Strathallan – I have an air-to-air by D Richardson

who you kidding JDK,

…Or the Beardmore Inflexible…?

Here y’go.

A couple of Inflexible bits you can fondle, with me giving a scale. BIG old wheels that thing!

I’m 6’4″. The wheels are in the Science Museum, London.

Or the Beardmore Inflexible, or the Broughton-Blayney Brawney, or the Hendy Heck??

Two pics of the Brawny – yours for £195!

I must say– that is a very handsome aircraft! Who’d have thought?…

Nice photos – I can see the modern day factory on the site from my present location (well, in daylight!)

Surely, one of the top ten most amusing aircraft names…This is a bit dark, but there is a pretty sporty old automobile in the background-from this 1939 photo.

Nice pics GS, two that I have never seen before, thanks.

will these do?

Got loads of pics of the Desford in various guises…sadly none of the others!!!

You realise you’re probably going to get a lot of pics of the Desford, old chap ?…….
