    That is the one Naki! :salute:
    I wonder whether this aircraft still exists?

    Controls over to Naki.

    I believe the Yeoman still exists and is in storage somewhere in NZ....

    Finally found a picture of the aircraft I wanted to plop in here...

    Darn ..too easy!

  6. #3756
    Not sure if it is easy or not. Just happened to know that one readily.

    Here is a rare one...

  7. #3757
    Here is a side view. Part of the rear lower fuselage looks missing due to the damaged photo. This one was designed for a particular purpose...

  8. #3758
    Three names pop into my head. A little bit o' Blackburn, a little bit o' Westland, a lot of Fokker.....and one BIG mystery. The front view appears to have what I think are 4 wind driven generators on the sides of the fuselage. I can't make out what is mounted diagonally on the left side behind the cabin door. Almost looks like it might be some kind of antenna? I'm probably WAAAAY off.

  9. #3759
    Was it designed for mine detection or possibly ASW??

  10. #3760
    Good eye on the wind generators. This was actually designed for crop spraying duty- especially bananas. No Blackburn, Westland or Fokker influences. One built.

    I figured out the cropduster rig but then hit a wall. The only reference I couldn't get to was a reported "Tebaldi-Zari" ( or Breda) design but I can't find any details

    Something created by Desmond Norton (Of Britten-Norman fame) maybe? I know he designed several undocumented models....still looking for details.

    The Tebaldi-Zari design was posted on here by me about a month or two ago. It's a sesquiplane from 1919 (obviously not Kevin's bird).

    Okay, a modified Bach 3-CT-6 used by the United Fruit company in Honduras (1933).

    Was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that hint.

    Have at it John-

  17. #3767
    This should go quickly

    Nice of you chaps to let poor old Lefty back in ! (no excuses - was off the ball completely - good one on the Bach, Kevin, and well scouted out, John - interesting that Aerofiles seems to think the banana-bombing conversion was a single-engine job).

    Anyway, looked at John's new one and immediately thought 'Brit' ( bland and stodgy). Right enough, it is the Newbury A.P.4 Eon. Sadly, destroyed in a 'pilotless take-off'. Woops.

    Here's another wee plane.

    Remembers me of the Air Sud Est ASO-1070 Griffon (F-WCDG).

  20. #3770
    That one met a swift end - please continue, sir.

    (Although I think you'll find it was Air Sud Ouest !)

    Might I recommend some relative bearing grease?




    Here is part two of the crop sprayer series. (Not bananas this time).
