Thanks Roger for the background to the Luton Minor wing pics. I hope that you didn’t mind me posting them, they were part of a set of ‘mystery’ images that I acquired when I took over running the Luton Minor website.

Would you have any problem if I ran them as a story on http://www.lutonminor.com ?

In line with the late David Boddington’s wishes, the Pup has been returned to the family, who had loaned it to MAM. It will shortly be returned to ground running and taxiable condition.

More on the ‘Latest News’ section of the Biggles Biplane website, although you will have to click through two or three other stories to get to it. It’s been a busy month!

“Piper’s core philosophy is to execute leading aircraft programs where the company offers the most value to customers”

Nothing to do with profit margins then???? :rolleyes:

Sounds like good news for Cessna Skycatcher distributors…..

Hi Scott

You and any other former ‘inmates’ might find this old Seletar thread of interest….

155hp fits with the final iterations of the Blackburn Cirrus Major 3.

See attached wiki link: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Cirrus_Major

I guess the Miles Messenger is the most numerous type to be so fitted?

I have moderated the thread a little to remove a slightly tactless comment, and the fallout from it.

To our Australian contingent – we know that the fate of aeroplanes is of much less concern than the ongoing humanitarian disaster, but do please keep us updated as, and when you can.

Thanks Bruce.

Thoughts are with all who are suffering in QLD

Rotation direction is correct for something like a Blackburn Cirrus?

A diameter and of course a readable pic of the info stamped on the prop hub might help clinch the ID?

Just stumbled across this useful website / serials database here:

It comes from a Fairey F129 ‘Hamble Baby’ floatplane, which was a modified Sopwith Baby design.

Can’t help with a serial, but if you let us have the dataplate and half a million pounds we’ll ‘rebuild’ it for you :diablo:

Are they Luton Minor?

I was told they may be. However the ‘Comper Connection’ is interesting too!

Meanwhile I can promise that these ‘wings in a barn’, WILL be flying again soon!

A fascinating thread this.

Meanwhile, as a Minor diversion, can anyone shed any light on the story behind these ‘wings in a barn’?

(pics I now know, from Roger Smith!)

Add in an Albermarle or two!

There was also a story in the 1990s of some Armstrong Whitorth Albermarle airframe pieces dumped in a quarry in Cumbria. Apparently they were difficult to reach because a pile of Tiger Moth airframes had been dumped on top of them!

Fact, or aviation fiction?
