The first is a Sea Fury, the second the DH.88 Comet (as found in FS9), the third one is a Edgar Percival EP.9 Prospector 1, the fourth one is a Beechcraft Model 18 I think Wink

(but I'm not 100% sure) and the final one is a mystery to me I've never seen anything like it Shocked

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

The last is a very rare Anderson-Greenwood... there's a freeware version of it for FS9 out there, somewhere.

That guy was trying to sell that old Percival back in '03... LOL.
It flies, though- saw it with my own eyes. Grin

Which seems to have lost a prop blade... Roll Eyes

Or more precisely, a replica of the DH.88. Aerodynamically it is quite different apparently (look at the washout on the wings!), so performs a little differently

True Sean, the EP.9 was for sale a couple of years ago - it'd be nice to see it "come home" one day! The fourth looks very much like a Beech 18, but on reflection it looks to me like an early Lockheed twin, either a 10 or a 12.

The fifth isn't too familiar, but I have seen it before.... Huh

Great shots, Mark!!

That Edgar is one odd looking aircraft!! It look like they went to different scarp yards looking for aircraft parts and came up with that!!

The (very proud) owner of this AG said it could use a little more power and has some peculiar rigging characteristics that he's not crazy about, but it is fairly docile and just a neat thing to have.
