Another

for Grumpos. Have at it.

Sounds like you had fun Mike. We are going to get festive here in a little while.

***grumpos*** · December 31st, 2008, 17:23

Okay dokay, i don't think that we have had this tidy little number...

***lefty*** · December 31st, 2008, 17:59

Ah, got this one. Moskalyev SAM-7 Sigma.

***grumpos*** · December 31st, 2008, 23:40

First of the year to Lefty.

Morning all. NO HANGOVER !!!

Right, here's a wee number that qualifies 'cos it is interesting. Well I think so anyway.

Our Moses is the World's Leading Authority on such craft so you'd better grab it quick afore the Kraken wakes.................

Aerauto PL-5C from

! The smilies are back, hurrah, hurrah

***Moses03*** · January 1st, 2009, 11:56

The Kraken was a bit sluggish this morning. Nice one Ralf! I had not seen that one before.

**Ralf Roggeveen** · January 1st, 2009, 12:04

OK, here's one for you chaps. I'm afraid this is the best picture I can get at the moment:

It's a Beechcraft Honey Bee, or at least I hope it is, otherwise, I'll be scraping egg of my face.

Edit, just checked, in one publication it's a Beechcraft, in another a Bee??????????????

***Moses03*** · January 1st, 2009, 12:11

USA made Bee Aviation Honey Bee.

Edit: Sandar beat me to the punch!

Edit 2: I don't think it's a Beechcraft. I have seen "Beecraft", Bee Associates, and Bee Aviation.

sandar · January 1st, 2009, 13:07

I think there is a misprint in my book. The picture is the same one as above, with the caption Beechcraft Honey Bee, but in the text it clearly states Beecraft Associates.

***Moses03*** · January 1st, 2009, 13:12

Sandar should get the beer regardless. After all, it is a "Honey Bee"

**Ralf Roggeveen** · January 1st, 2009, 13:13

sandar is surely right! I find the same thing in my sources (printed & net), but do wonder if Beechcraft didn't call it that for a sort of joke? The tail has GOT to be by them...

Anyway, I posted it and I would award the

to sandar, but maybe we'd better sleuth this...going for a couple of old Janes I've got nearby!

**Ralf Roggeveen** · January 1st, 2009, 13:18

Wow! You're right Mo'. Beech Aircraft Corporation, Wichita, KA is distinct from Beecraft Associates Inc. of San Diego, CAL.

But of course it's still sandar's turn, and...

...we've all LEARNT something!
