Hello All

Currently Europe’s only airworthy Fairchild PT-19 is booked for several events this summer. Weather & serveability permitting.

To check out the dates and the aircraft click onto: http://www.cfmc-gb.com

http://www.cfmc-gb.com/

Just to remind you of another PT-19 flying in Norway.
I took these photos of Fairchild PT-19A Cornell LN-BIF last Monday and if it hasn’t snagged since then, it’s very much airworthy.. 🙂
The occation for this flight was to mark the 70th anniversary of Fornebu airport, Oslo (closed since the opening of Gardermoen airport, Oslo in 1998).

Anyway, it’s not bad being one of only two airworthy in Europe,..!

Happy flying!

Hi!

To anyone interested in Storch restoration, you might check the following website for the next 5-10 years..

http://www.storch.no

And congratulations to you, Hairyplane. I met the norweigan Storch team tonight, and they were all very happy about the good news from Old Warden.
I bet Tor has watched the video of the first flight a dozen times by now…

Hardly an expert in these matters but…
Any chance it could be a ground running prop for engine test?

I would not think so. It’s to small, only 60cm in diameter, with a limited amount of adjustment to the blade pitch angle.
It would quite simply not take up enough power..

It is very small for an aircraft prop, but I agree, all the evidence does point that way. given the profile of the blades, and the rather pleasant patina – no later than 1920?

NB!
Not actually an aircraft propeller (as for propulsion of the aircraft).
I think it was used as a “propeller” attached to a wind driven generator, often attached to a wing strut, landing gear or simply attached to a dedicated pylon on the side of the fuselage. On small aircraft they are usally quite small, but the size of this indicates (to me) that this might have been attached to a larger aircraft in need of a heftier power supply.

Naah, I dont’ belive you Morten..

1. Too well-made to be “just a cooling fan”
2. “Helice Levasseur” was an aircraft propeller manufacturer.
3. Why is the graduation on the propeller given in km/h.?
4. The propeller was owned by a man who worked as an aircraft mech. his entire life.
5. The labeling are placed on, and adjustment screws face towards the “backside” (flat) of the propeller blades. To me that indicates that the “backside” was facing forward, into the slipstream (if it is from a wind driven generator, as I want to belive…:rolleyes: )

Anyone got more ideas..?

Anders Mustang also flew across but earlier I think.

Old Crow crossed in 1986.
