  • Регистрационный номер: G-AOIV, OB-LGH-429

    The Thruxton Jackaroo G-AOIV rapidly succumbing to the ravages of time. According to A.J.Jackson in "British Civil Aircraft" this was derelict at Don Torcuate airport for a time before being scrapped, having been sold to Argentina in 8.59 but never registered there. The photo could well have been taken at Don Torcuate but behind the Jackaroo are a group of derelict Peruvian Stearmans including OB-LGH-429 and OB-LGM. Can anyone confirm the location and date please?
    The photograph of Jackaroo G-AOIV is confirmed by Messrs Hagedorn and Kuhn as being at Buenos Aires/Don Torcuato probably in mid-1960 and similar views dated 9.61 exist. The Peruvian Stearmans were also derelict there for years and were ex-CAFA aircraft. The ultimate fate of G-AOIV is still not precisely recorded.

  • Регистрационный номер: N4966E, XB-ZEQ

    A 1956 model 182 roughly painted N4966E and with previous marks painted over. This US regn is not part of a normal Cessna batch but the USCAR of 1.64 shows the aircraft to be c/n 33000. Does anyone know the previous identity (the Editor is willing to guess XB-..Q after studying the print) and where or when the photo could have been taken?
    The Cessna 182 N4966E was indeed Mexican, ex XB-ZEQ, and was traded in to Lysdale Aviation along with XB-VAT c/n 33724 which became N4965E. It was photographed at Fleming Field, South St.Paul, Minnesota on 8.1.59.
