DH-84 Dragon?

Close Vick, but it is the de Havilland D.H.84M Dragon. All yours norab.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Always a bridesmaid, never bride eh? A wonderful looking plane that.

 

[norab]

that was a good one. Let's see how this one flies

 

[Graeme]

Can't quite orientate myself with this one norab. It's not I know, but is it sorta like an Avro Commodore in appearance?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Nice sketch Graeme!

 

[norab]

good sketch indeed, that reflects the general layout, but not exactly,
not an Avro, it's a US design

 

[Graeme]

A Waco product?

 

[norab]

nope

 

[Graeme]

Plucking at straws now - a rare machine? The Gwinn Aircar maybe?

 

[GrauGeist]

Let's narrow this down a little...

Is it a biplane or a high-wing monoplane?

 

[Airframes]

I was thinking Beech 'Staggerwing', but the inter-plane struts aren't right.

 

[norab]

Graeme has it, it's the Gwinn Aircar. A rudderless trike cabin biplane. I'm away from my pc right now but will post the picture ASAP

 

[GrauGeist]

ahh...way to go, Graeme!

Google is your friend!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Wow! Way to go Graeme! What orafice did you pull that one out of?

 

[Graeme]

Thanks norab! Got there in the end. Id like to pass and let someone else have a go.

Cheers.

What orafice did you pull that one out of?

From Janes's arse. It was tough on her - poor old girl was born in 1938.

 

[norab]

here was my shot

 

[gumbyk]

Is it French or something?

 

[GrauGeist]

Gwinn was an American outfit...I don't recall the aircraft but I remember reading about Joe Gwinn jr. who used to work for Consolidated

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Graeme ! That's one I've never heard of, or seen before.
