The Dutch connie has 4 engines again, sicne the previous engines where merely on loan from the Connie at Le Bourget.
New propellors have also been delivered at Schiphol Oost where people are still working on the Dutch Connie. 12 blades complete with hubs, spiders and dome. They are hamilton standards so they are hydraulically adjustable (translating from Dutch so excuse spelling errors, my technical English isn’t that good). With these and the old props the plane has now a complete set.
The interior is also progressing rapidly. Nonetheless it is not known yet when the Connie will fly to its new home at Lelystad Airport.
Soon a engine test will be done with the #3 engine.
Regular updatse are posted at the Aviodrome website, but for now only in Dutch. Maybe that later an English version is added.
1) Ecuador
2) Squirrel hair
3) New Zealand
4) Sheep
5) various shades of brown, see for yourself:
6) 116 years (1337 -> 1453)
7) November 7 (red day I believe the English call it?)
8) Albert (Was he Belgian by any chance? It is a traditional name in the Belgian royal house.)
9) 30 years, duh
10) A breed of large dogs (Latin name: Canarie Insulae ‘Island of dogs’)
While we are at it, all these questions and answers with the exception of question 5 came from http://www.totse.com/. May I advice people to use google instead of common sense as these “pub-questions” are never logical!
