Two photos from the ‘Lotys II’ period, with and without invasion stripes. This scheme was applied pretty soon after arriving in Holland. During the ferry flight she was still in her previous grey/green scheme with the name ‘Cochise’ on her nose. As such she spent quite some time parked at Baton Rouge, Lousiana, and before that the story gets muddy!

So who has some old slides that he/she took Stateside showing this aircraft???

Here is a Scottish Beech18 used by Loganair but now in the Museum of Flight at East Fortune

Thanks for the reminder! I knew I had another Beech photo hidden away somewhere! 😉

I can confirm that they do have a mixture lever, just like any other piston single. The Diamond with its FADEC controlled engines is the one which dispensed with the prop and mixture lever. That may have confused the earlier poster.

It did, thanks for clearing that up! 😎

great stuff thanks- keep em coming (what a horrible scheme on F-AZEJ) our old spares ship now at the Aviodome (G-BKRG) has the same colours – yuk!

You mean this one TT? :rolleyes:

Second one is the ex-DDA example now marked as G-29.

Edited to add two more, is it just me or does a nosewheel just look wrong on a Beech? 😎

#3 is N26035 seen at Fort Pierce, FL, #4 is N136L which was seen at Sebastian, FL in 2002.

PH-PBY in its previous colourscheme

When she first appeared, she was flown under her Canadian registration. Later on the registration PH-PBY was applied and some small changes were made: blisters installed, rudder painted orange.

Yes, PH-NFM on display at the Hague in 1955. One of the Schreiner ‘Target Towing’ Spitfires.

Shouldn’t that be PH-NFN? :rolleyes:

Ian, congratulations on your new position! Now that’s a way to start the new year. All the best!
