Hi Guys,
Another request for parts has come through this time from Ireland.
Looking for front and side nose wheel doors for DH104 Dove, part numbers as follows: front nosewheel door (fairing with light) Part No. 4 FS 2825A Side nosewheel door (wheelwell), Part No 4 FS 4627A contact: [email]leomurray@aaiu.ie[/email]
:)Thank you Dan !
One built, although production is also claimed as 2 (!?)
I remember there was a partially completed 4 seater that i believe was repo’d by the bank and scrapped so that might have been #1. there was a lot of stuff including the Black and Gold 2 seat Mamba 1 that was “sprited away” before the debt collectors arrived. I last time i saw Mamba it was at a Tafe College in melbourne. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34709414@N02/9418225706
Hi Dan 🙂
I vote for the AA-2 VH-FCX (Mamba) which I have seen as AA-2, AA-2M and AA-2S.
Would you know the CORRECT designation and manufacturer (again different names such as Melbourne Aircraft Corporation, Aviation Industries of Australia, Australian Aircraft Industries, Australian Industrial Corporatoon).
Thank you!
spot on wout,
pic by George Trussell can be found here http://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=Australian Aircraft Industries AA-2S Mamba 1&u=type
as for its official name best get it contact with Jess Smith as he is the man that designed and built it, only details of the regosearch site states
Aircraft Type
Manufacturer: AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION
Model: AA-2
Serial: P-002
Cheers, Dan
I have just about located every Dove/Devon in Australia but one still alludes me, it is C/N:4404 ex NZ1818 & Vh-CJY, moved from WA to the international airliner museum in Vic with the prototype Heron, when the owner of the museum passed away the airframes were put up for sale, the heron went to AARG at Moorabin but no one can recall where the Dove went. PM if you have any leads http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac1/austcl/VH-CJY.html
