Did anyone take some pictures of G-APRT or other Taylor Monoplanes at the Rally??

I didn’t see APRT.. are you sure it was there?

I only saw Titch G-MOLE, no other Taylors

The plane is officially a Croise AC-1.

I saw it for the first time during this years RSA rally at Vichy, we were also discussing which part came from which aircraft.

While en-route back to Belgium, we stopped at Le Plessis-Belleville and there it was in the hangar. We talked to the pilot who flew it to Vichy (also the owner?) and asked him what it actually was.

The wing comes from a Cap 20 and the rest is home made.
So I have to disappoint you TM, it’s not a Taylor Monoplane. 😉

grtz

The Belgian Trainer indead is no longer for sale. (And actually I’m glad at least one stays in Belgium)

Currently I don’t know one for sale, but you could ask some owners.

There’s G-AFVN that doesn’t fly anymore (perhaps the owner consideres to sell it??) and G-AFSC that also does not fly very often.

If you like I could give you their addresses.

Was it at Old Warden for the charity event this year? If it is this one i am thinking of, it made an emergancy landing due to engine problems.

It’s OO-TMW based at Headcorn since three of four months. (the one in the first picture)

Do you have more info on that emergency landing?

What do you think of a Tipsy Trainer :rolleyes:

Nice flying, open cockpit and surely a nice classic

I was there the entire weekend. Indead not as many visitors as previous years (due to the weather obviously).

Though there were some interesting planes (Hurricane, Porterfield, Austers, Luscombes, …)

Sadly only one Nipper…

Still made around 500 piccies, so it wasn’t that bad.

In Belgium, the CNVV used several Tiger Moths to tow gliders.

At Diest there is even one that’s forgotten in the hangar (OO-EVE). It is dismantled and stored.
