One thing which has changed is that the little fairing “ears” on the canopy in the first picture seem to have disappeared. I must work out what’s happened there, and whether they need to be rebuilt.

Not only that. The entire canopy appears to be different. Not just the glazing (I seem to miss the starboard window), but also the frame. Compare the high wooden lower sides of the original with the thin new one, as well as the screws in the front, the painted edges, etc. I would say that’s a completely different canopy?

Roaded to Enstone 16Feb2011.

Lovely glider to fly, if:
– you are under 1,85 meters tall
– keep the airspeed in the lower one third of the arc
– don’t mind ridiculous washout in the outer wings

The Anson XIX at a car museum in the southern parts of the Netherlands by 1980 to 1990 or so. The collection closed re-located and focused on oldtimers only.

I understand the Anson is now on display somewhere in the northern parts of the country.

This was in spurious Dutch AF markings as D-26, on loan to the Autotron in Rosmalen until moved back to its owners the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum at Soesterberg. It then went to the Aviodrome at Lelystad until acquired by the Museum Canadian Allied Forces in Groningen where it is displayed painted as K6285/V.

Picture taken at the Autotron, which incidently is owned by Libema, the same company that took over the Aviodrome some weeks ago.

Yamamoto and Satyr apparently still doing well in late July 1936:

I was thinking only this morning of the BAT Bantam and the 1897 Daimler brake, both owned by R.O. Shuttleworth and both now in museums in Holland.
I can see a visit to Low Countries in the offing.

It’s in the Aviodrome which will be opening again for public this Saturday. The aircraft is owned (and therefore safe) by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the only aircraft in its collection, but in great company of a whole bunch of Rembrandt’s.

& write out your last will & testicle :diablo:.

It’s not that bad actually:

(though this is cheating: it’s a Prefect in a vertical dive, as our T21 is not flying yet)

It would be more than acceptable in something like a Slingsby T21 though.

No. Vne in a T.21b is 92 knots, off the scale.
