Can anyone identify this aircraft?

:salute:I was in Shropshire recently and last Sunday I visited Sleap airfield and took photos, for the 3rd visit there in a week--and many videos also. It has a very active aeroclub and on the weekends of 25-26th May and 1st-2nd June the airfield was full of aircraft and even a helo taking off and landing. Some types seen were a Bristol Bulldog, a Beagle Pup (this does not exist for fs9), a Tiger Moth, many Cessnas and Pipers of all kinds, a DH Chipmunk, a Britten Norman Islander, etc etc. It is a wonderful place to visit and a former RAF airfield, still active today for GA. My friend Barrie Larke has the Sleap scenery for fs9 and I can now vouch it is very accurate, as I saw it for real. I stayed in Barrie's home for all of my trip--9 days. His home is in the village of Plealey, 10 miles from Sleap.


:isadizzy:Anyway, I took a photo of a plane I cannot identify. I attach the image
It looks like Tecnam, but a search at airliners. net showed similar but different aircraft--not quite the same.
Can anyone help?
:salute::wiggle:
 
Looks like the tail number is G-SUHX. Maybe you could run a search on that registration?
 
it is an A-22, have flown in this one, Reg Nr is G-CDHX. was built in 2005 and if i recall is 'based' at Sleap :salute:
 
There is also one available in two flavours (FS9 and FSX). Rick Piper created it, so you know it's good!

Best,
Myles
 
Thanks to all for the information.

The Mystery is solved.

Matt, are you English?

Born on Kos, Moved to Larissa (Used to watch the HAF coming and going, what gave me my aviation interest), then to the UK when i was still young (Though my bloodline is a mix of Greek, Balkans, French, English and Welsh)... i'm Greek by birth, English by nationality... a nice mix-up :icon_lol: planning to move back to Greece shortly though...
 
Definitely the Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat. V. Zhyhulskiy also did one for FS2004 over at AvSim that offers up wheeled, ski, and float versions. One thing that Zhyhulskiy's version features is a nicely rendered Dynon Shyview integrated glass flight data display.

I see all the Greece-stricken simmers are gathering here.
Nigel: you look familiar--were you ever on Greek TV?

Let us make a formal request to the forum director to make a special sub-forum titled "Greek-related FS" or something like it.

Lol. Not that I know of...
maybe you're confusing me with Thanassi Vengos :running:... Angeliki Nikolouli?...:sheep:
or Georgios Papamdreou :icon_eek:

No need for the request, Nick - we're all Greek at heart here. :salute:
And the prefered beverage: OUZAKI!

The Beagle Pup was also made in a military version as the Beagle Bulldog. When Beagle Aviation went into receivership, Scottish Aviation took over production of the Bulldog, and Tim Conrad made a nice model of it. Still available at flightsim.

FS2004 S.A. Bulldog T. MK1 Trainer. The Bulldog was a training aircraft developed by Scottish Aviation from the Beagle Pup light aircraft. The prototype first flew in 1969. Main user was the RAF, with others going to a variety of countries. Several are also on the civil register. This plane has full animations, shiny textures and virtual cockpit with some custom gauges. Includes RAF, Maltese and Swedish paint schemes; the Swedish scheme having its own SK-61 model. By Tim Conrad.

Beagle Pup.....umm that is on our list, but we need a suitable 'donor' airframe to work from. Have been given permission by an owner in the South West to use his, but its a 300 mile trip, so will be sometime before I can get the enthusiasm to go and see it! :)

repaint in progress

I am doing a repaint of the A-22 in my photo and it is progressing well. Still work to be done.
So far I have managed the overall color and the logo on the fin.

See image.
 
Emfrat:

The SA Bulldog looks different from the Beagle Pup to me.

What do other people think?


I would not want a different plane posing as a Pup.


Cheers
 
A Bulldog posing as a Pup would be a bit like, say, a Harvard posing as a Zero in all those old films. There's a similarity, but not all that close. I'm still quietly waiting for Martin to do his stuff.
