Yes Graeme, thats it, well thought through! At least the Airspeed Ambassador has its own undercarriage to stand on.

Hi RD. I was thinking a Hart II (Kestrel) Registration G-ABMR.

[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's the one, I couldn't find my registration lists until this morning.
Have you seen Shuttleworth's Hind, it is gorgeous.........

My guess, and it is a guess. CASA C-201 Alcotan.

Departs stage right, crossing fingers...........

Yeah it does look a bit like the Alcotan...

...but no. This was Lieutenant General Baba-Masao's personal transport for his "surrender flight"...

That was very quick Patoruzu! Yep, Ki-54. The same aircraft, but in a better condition...

Baba Masao's Ki-54 eventually ended up in a kindergarten at a RAAF base (Fairbairn) in Canberra, but I don't know what eventually became of it.

Patoruzu · Sep 23, 2008

Trebor are U refering to the DHC Chipmunk? - the one with the british roundels?

v2 · Oct 1, 2008

I found it for you , guys....

wh1skea · Oct 1, 2008

Is it a "droop snoot" P-38?

kool kitty89 · Oct 1, 2008

No, I think it might be Russian.

Patoruzu · Oct 1, 2008

I think the engine looks like a french one! but props rotated leftwards - can be russian

Patoruzu · Oct 1, 2008

Archangelski (Cyrilic MMH) MMN !!

v2 · Oct 1, 2008

yes, you are right, it's MMN 2M-105.

Graeme, I believe the fuselage is held in storage by the AWM.

Krabat42 · Oct 2, 2008

I thought Archangelsi or Jermolajev, I was so close.

Here's a new one:

Thanks Andy, I thought it may have perished as a result of the environment and/or the kindergarten kids!

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Very appropriate hint! Redford played Johnny Hooker in "The Sting" (1973), so it must be Sir Stanley Hooker...

Stanley Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Similar process?...

Hint...

Krabat42 · Oct 2, 2008

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Not yet. In fact I wasn't really away yet. But now that my girlfriend's play is on stage in Munich, I will have a little more time. At least she will have, I hope.

Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast.

Similar process?...

I know this man. I'm thinking of a young Alec Issigonis, wrong kind of engineer. A young Seversky? Maybe James Jabara? I will have to think about it.

Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint...
