Light aircraft come in all shapes & sizes. I had a lot of fun taking these. (A few little aeroplanes flying around on a nice day keeps me happy for hours. I'm not hard to please. Roll Eyes

) Anyone name them all? Some are easier than others.

Oops. How did that slip in here? Nosewheels definitely not allowed. Never mind, it looks cute anyway. Wink

I can name two, I think. The thrid one down is a Cessna 120...? maybe? and the second one from the bottom is a Robinson but I dont know what model specifically. However, some of you may have noticd that I am bad at plane spotting. Tongue

One right & the other, well - not that far out.

Thanks both of you for trying anyway. No point in having a quiz if nobody bothers to take part. Cheesy

PS. I didn't know them all without looking them up.

Sorry but no. Good try. Wink

The "AUster" looks like a Taylorcraft?

I can name all of them except the first and fourth. And those suggesting #6 is an Auster should try learning about Piper Cubs Roll Eyes

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Which is why I mentioned it possibly being a Taylorcraft ... who designed the Cub anyway, and it was built in the UK, from where the Auster line developed....

Mark's quite right. It's registered as a J3C-65 Cub (G-BDMS/FR886) built in 1944, unusual in that it's ex-RAF.
