Sorry mate yes it is the Ceres CA-28 21 of them built between 1959-1963 in Australia that one there VH-CEP was the first aircraft I ever flew in as a kid the photo is taken at our home airstrip in the Southwest of Western Australia

Staying with the crop-duster theme.

I am pretty sure that Wout has shown us this here before!

 

[cthornburg]

Your right Mven Kazan 500. Open House then.

Should have used this floater version.

But they got such a simple thing wrong!
Red to port, green to starboard...

 

[cthornburg]

better looking copilots than i'm used too.
I guess this was designed to go after seaweed

[srgalahad]

Well, we need SOMETHING posted to fill the 'dead air'. So,

Grinvalds G.802 Orion.

 

[srgalahad]

Vraiment!

The caption I had was the G.832 but that may have been simply digititis corruptus
Looks rather tidy even if the prop seems a bit delicate.

I hope the pilot doesn't over rotate, might grind a bit off the blades, or else put a lower fin to bounce off the ground!

Thank you, srgalahad. I don't think that we've had a helicopter for a while. So here's a not particularly successful one.

 

[giruXX]

Airmaster H2-B1 from

 

[pomme homme]

Spot on. Over to you, Uli.

 

[giruXX]

on with an amphibian

 

[Moses03]

Seen it before but can't recall. Pretty sure it is European.

 

[lefty]

It is Zygmunt Pulawski's P.Z.L.12 And it has been here before....long ago.. Sadly Zygmunt met his death in it at the age of 29.

 

[giruXX]

Welcome back, Mike!

Yes it is the PZL-12 or PZL-H A one off

 

[lefty]

Thanks Uli - been having one of my sabbaticals in Madeira - eventually....
Here's a rather smooth-looking machine -

 

[Moses03]

Good to see you Mike!

At first glance it looked like the 1915 Verville pusher. That also looks like a Letord fuselage in the back which means this must be from the UK!

 

[lefty]

Correct, but not a Verville. Indeed, Kevin, this machine is on show at the 1914 Oympia Air Show. Designed to carry a gunner in the front cockpit. Not a success due to longitudinal stability issues. (and I know all about those..) Monosoupape engine.
