Different engines and cowlings, different window arrangement (extra windows in front fuselage, and I believe a round one somewhere), different aerials, different undercarriage. Other than that basically a standard DC-3 (not C-47, it was copied from the civilian prewar DC-3). Should be some pics available online, and there’s several (parts of) books for sale online. Did a model on it ages ago. Easy conversion.

You mean an effective warning horn like this one? 😉

Well, finally truly underway. First aft fuselage ribs have been reglued. The port skins are partially off the nose section of the cockpit and some structural repairs have been done to the internal supports for frame 1. Several bad gluejoints and some major substandard repairs that have to come out. But we’re on the winning hand. I expect that next Saturday will see the first skins closed up again. Pics will follow later.

Anybody have any of the following:
– Main wheel tyre
– Tailplanestrut attachment fitting that bolts onto the tailplane spar (left and right, front and back)
– Fuselage-side mid skid attachment bracket
– Airbrake system bungees

I knew what the glider was so when I looked it up on a search a picture of I believe the same aircraft showed up. Article with it stated airfield in CA. Background trees looked like your pix. I’ve flown I-26 so this one didn’t look quite like I-26 but many were modified. One of my most fun trips in a I-26 was with a open canopy. My first flying job was running a glider port in Rockwall TX.

Fair enough Chris 😉 It works the other way around as well: I know too little about US aircraft, and too much about the European ones… The 1-26 is a lovely plane. Flew it on occasion on your side of the Pond (very little of them around in Europe). Flies a lot nicer than the Gö.4 actually…

Pratt Read LNE/TG-32

others? I-26, LK-10A at Skylark Field, Lake Elsinore CA

Chris

Indeed the Pratt-Read LNE-1. But certainly not an I-26 or LK-10A, and not Lake Elsinore CA. There’s a whole world out there outside the USA 😉

The bakcground is Asperden airfield in Germany, with a Dutch Gö.4 III and a British T.21b present at the Dutch national vintage glider rally of 2010… The LNE-1 is now in The Netherlands with a private collector.

Thank you. Came across one in similar condition some time ago… It should be flying by now. Here’s a new glider. Bonus points for identifying the other two aircraft in the picture, or the airfield in question.

Yeah, just noticed that. Now only for the glider type. I think I’ll check out whatever turns up on the Continental Slingsby Meeting next week. Old Fred Slingsby had a habit of using war surplus in his designs… 😉

I understand the VGC was working on an English translation, nearing completion.

Contrary to popular believe, TWGPP holds a fair amount of private headstones for deceased servicemen. Not only CWGC stones.

Now where else can one find a not-so-pristine genuine Fokker license-built F-104 nosecone (except for the scrapyard one town down the road from here that has the remains of 4 F-104s in it)? 😀

Kev,

I don’t think your search engine skills have anything to do with it. The search engine appears to show 0 results when e.g. correcting a typo in a name in the search data. I find that returning to the main search menu first before trying again always gives a result, as opposed to trying again after a fail or partial mismatch of search data. Must be the software I presume?
