A quick perusal of the articles at LAAHS, turns up ‘Tincute’ as a name applied to a Stinson Jr. of TACA Honduras (early to mid ’30s)
Thanks a lot!

Eastchurch airfield
‘In 1909 Moore-Brabazon made the first live cargo flight by fixed-wing aircraft, by tying a waste-paper basket to a wing strut of his Shorts-built Wright aircraft. Then, using it as a “cargo hold”, he airlifted one small pig.’

According to this website….
http://users.bigpond.net.au/Shackleton/nomad.html
One Avro Shackleton was fitted with Napier Nomad engines as a testbed airframe, at the bottom of the page there is a description of the installation. I was wondering if there are any images, photos or artists impressions of the Shackleton with this engine?
Thanks in advance sealordlawrence.

I am sure there will be very interesting photos, but the link is not working and the IPMS site is too complicated to locate the subject.;)

Can’t remember where I saw it but aparently she was with whatever Lufthansa was called in pre WWII days for a fairly short period before going to Norway as LN-???. In fact I’m pretty sure the article included a shot of her in her Norwegian markings. I’m not sure whether she was then commandeered by the Luftwaffe post invasion or returned to Germany post war. I’d like anyone who has the info to fill in those discrepances in my memory to either post the info on here or pm me, whichever takes their fancy as I’m easily pleased.:)
Mike, you can find LN-DAH in the background of this photo

Originaly it was floatplane…
From an old scan…
Martin,
There are too many to list and the listings seemed to have been compiled from other equally innacurate lists. A few examples Cadet 6 (the C had been dropped by this time) accident was 23 March 1942, Cadet 7 was not sold until !947. No mention of the sole SE5, incorrect serials listed for various aircraft, eg the serial listed for Seafire 154 is actually a cancelled Lancaster contract, Gladiator Hinds Hectors etc fates are incorrect. The aircraft 141/2/3 are Avro XIX series1 and not Anson 19, The Avro 621 (Mongoose engine ) was never referred to as a Tutor in IAC service and so on. That is why I am asking about primary sources.

Agreed!
Martin,
I got the info from the Putnams’ book, British Civil Aircraft 1919-1972: Volume II by A.J. Jackson.
