Yes ,it seems the line starts with be2 and somewhat continues through to the tigermoth . I am curious as to the parts call-up of the Be2 ,as maybe things like wing strut fittings may be available from TVAL in New Zealand. At one stage I had leads on Dh82 frames and considered a hybrid (tube fuselage) but they no longer exist
That’s definitely a Dh6 fin and rudder in the pix…have to make further enquiries. Some of the sixes went to Greece ,some to Sweden or such. I found the engine but as yet I don’t possess it . Still researching…..crashed Mooroopna Victoria 1932
not much point going above 9 or 10 thou as that’s full throttle height above that your wasting fuel….spamcans are said to have a similar ceiling my experience says they run out of puff around ten at 18000 pilot is going to be out of puff too.
btw strata simply means a layer or layers..can be different cloud types
Lots of the allies died after a huge bungle and siege of Kut I believe . If you were taken by the Arabs you would be killed . After a forced landing (caudron g3) my grand father was forced marched for hundreds of km …..ended the war being kept in an underground dungeon for 3 months ….flew after the war in the dh6 until early thirties …btw learned to fly with
Bleriot!!!…hope your grandfather did ok
Thanks for your input tony…….you must never say never or can’t be done with these projects , I never met my grandfather but he was one of the first ever australian pilots deployed to Iraq in 1915… It would be a great tribute
Thanks for the response ,I am driven to continue with this ugly duckling , TVAL are amazing , and will probably be a part of this . It’s shocking how quickly history is lost we have to try to keep it alive
What is the latest on airco Dh6 please ,do any parts or plans survive ( my grandfather used to fly them from 1920 to the early thirties in Australia .currently building 36″ span model 1:8 approx with a long view to a full flying replica)
