• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Maybe you are thinking too complicated :very_drunk:

Think of this aircraft with the taildragger gear replaced by a tricycle gear and it should look familiar.

First flight of the basic type more than 60 years ago, built and sold by 3 different manufacturers, most of them had a Lycoming O-320 with 150 horses.
 
The conventional gear threw me off, but now that I have given my head a shake...
Shinn Morrisey / Varga / 2150 / Kachina
 
I had a Shinn in my steamer trunk but never made the connection.:dizzy:

It annoys me because I've long liked the Shinn, had a close look at one of the early demonstrators, and had it on my "If I win a lottery" list...
OK, I can't find this in the thread so it might be "new"

Most sources tend to be 'cut and paste' from the other sources, but I'm tending to agree..

Still, you get the prize and the obligation for the next one :applause:
 
Thank you, Uli. Here's something with a catchy name that, surprisingly, hasn't appeared here before (or, at least, it produces a negative search result).

Nobody ? It's like something out of a Poirot episode - the Reid and Sigrist Snargasher. Fondly remember it's sister the Desford at Strathallan in my parachuting days...
 
Snargasher.

Best name ever for an aircraft.:biggrin-new:


Edit: Very cool Pete that you have seen a Sea Rover in person. Nice bit of history there.

I always thought that the snargasher might have been related to the snark - possibly a less fierce half brother to the bandersnatch. But Mike has it, Reid & Sigrist's first born, the Snargasher. A l'Ecosse!
 
Thank you Mike. Nothing on the stocks at the moment - here's a machine in quiet repose..
