Still no snow here. 🙁

Eindoven closed because of snow, Newquay runway closed (not snow related) and problems with Italian traffic control due to the strike. 😮

I’ll probably incur Ben, Matt and Phil’s wrath for this, but I like the look of the Volpar conversion!

Anybody know the story behind it?

The Beech 18 was converted by several companies as the Airmotive Tradewind, Dumod 1 and Volpar Super Turbo 18. The first tricycle Beech was available from September 1963. Air America operated 32 Beech 18’s and Volpar 18’s.

P.T. Barnum, where have I heard that name before? :p

Found a photo of the crash. Should be repairable, eventually. Old Tigers never die! 🙂 What do you think the white objects by the engine cowling are?

I met Gail when he came over with the C54 of the Berlin airlift historical foundation in (IIRC) 1998 – He acted as co-pilot in the C54!! (great bunch of people who opperate this lovely aircraft)

Fantastic chap – very warm/kind hearted – it was great to talk to him. His book is a great read as well.

I agree, I met him at a Mormon church in Southampton about ’86 and he was an inspiration. 🙂

I don’t know whether the ‘take off attitude’ will grab the attention quite like the pose the old DC-3 had when I saw it in February. It certainly made you double take!

If anyone’s in the Orlando area – Polk City is a must-do visit, not to mention taking a ride in the New Standard pleasure flight biplane, or even some dual in a Stearman (at less than you’d pay for dual in a Cessna over here!)

And don’t forget, they have ‘our’ Sunderland. :p Wonder if it will ever fly again? 🙁

How did the DC-3 get positioned like that, is it weighted in the nose or held there with a bit of 2 x 4?

Looks very like N7DW which was at Sun N Fun 2004 and has been for sale ever since. She needs a fair amount of work doing to her.

Thanks David, this information tallies with the database, so I would suspend my assumption that the plane is in Europe, unless someone knows different! 😉

Over a month and no new postings! :rolleyes:

Check out the highly modified 1951 Chipmunk available for sale! 😮

The plane is in Europe probably Germany, any idea of it’s identity? :confused:

The second Argosy built ‘PRL was retained by AWA for trials (one MAM member, an ex AWA Test Engineer I think has a wonderful set of colour transparencies he took on “hot and high” trial in Africa) that included having a beaver-door rear end fitted that was to be standard on the examples to be supplied to the R.A.F.

Roger Smith.

Here is a photo of the beaver tail Argosy, the nose did not open.

Actually, apologies to all for committing the cardinal sin of posting without searching 🙁

I’ve given myself a stern warning by PM

Apology accepted while I was checking the above. My information from about 2003 was that G-NDNI was stored in Hangar 1 at Coventry and four or five Freelance (?) fuselages were stored in Hangar 6. :confused:
