Not an exotic bird... But the NORD 262's ruggedness makes it fit for all latitudes. Its simplicity and versatility are remarkable. And behind it are more than 100,000 hours of commercial experience, your guarantee of on-time operations. There is no secret to such qualities: the NORD 262 has been certificated under FAR PART 25. Is it reasonable to settle for less ?
MARTINSYDE F.6. The F.6, produced by Martinsyde, Ltd. at Brooklands in 1920, was a development of the F.4 Buzzard, one of the fastest aeroplanes produced during the 1914-18 War, which had a speed of 145 m.p.h. The later aircraft was intended as a military two-seater, but was also produced as a single-seater. The engine normally fitted was a 300-h.p. Hispano-Suiza, although the 275-h.p. Rolls-Royce Falcon was an alternative. One F.6, G-EBDK, was fitted with a 200-h.p. Wolseley Viper and was flown into second place in the first (1922) King's Cup Air Race by Fred Raynham, at 104.7 rn.p.h. G-EAPI was the prototype, which has flown in the 1920 Aerial Derby by the company's test-pilot R. H. Nisbet, converted from an F.4. Span, 31ft. 11 1/4 in.; length, 24ft. 6 in.; maximum speed (single-seater with Hispano Suiza), approx. 145 m.p.h.
