Was not initially clear in your post, thought you were claiming to have found the Vampire! From my searching, I understood that the aircraft was found on 6/2/1999 by natives deep in the jungle.:confused:
The plane is on contract to the Environment Agency and is used for survey work.
The project was started by Skysport and stopped in 1989 when the funding ran out. The project is stored until a new sponsor is located.
Off subject but what is the Hungarian registerd big yellow thing next to it?
Not particularly large, it is a Yak 12M.
Really good ads, both of them!
A tragic accident, more here with photo.:(
Not taking the bait!!! Trying to dig a big hole and bury this embarrassing thread!!!! Maybe I should delete the thread from the beginning?:rolleyes:
Could the sightings been of a Scion Senior, a similar aeroplane?
The Senior looks a bit lower on the floats in this photo!

Edit.Would add that picture six seems to portray a different float gear assembly.
A similar thing has just happened in Queensland again

I think this is what Dazza was referring to!

Looking very nice, D-FJAK. It is obvious why it is called White 100, but couldn’t find the reason for this designation?:confused:
Aircraft was always US registered except when it became G-BNNI with Dan Air.
Rumours are that MK is flying at this moment but unable to find official confirmation, yet.:)
Little thread tangent there Resmoroh! This is a Biro thread. Always assumed the the Biro was invented by the French, but it turns out that Laszlo Biro was a Hungarian who patented the invention in Paris in 1938. In 1943 he moved to (and died there) Argentina and the British government took a licence agreement to produce the design for the benefit of bomber crews who found that it was easier to use at altitude.:)
Presumably Monsieur Biro was in the U.K. for the duration of the war?
