Регистрационный номер: N4351Z, VP-WLH It is an otherwise normal Super Cub N4351Z fitted with a set of lower short-span wings. The c/n is 18-8669 but we do not know the location or date, though it is likely to belong to the early seventies. Can anyone throw any light on the purpose of this modification, its designation if any and whether it has been applied to any other types or models?
The Super Cub 'biplane' N4351Z which has been identified by Terry Murphy and Walter K.van Tilborg as an Aeromod Loadstar 100 conversion. The 21ft span lower wing gave the Loadstar a STOL performance and a minimum control speed of some 24-26 mph. Similar conversions included N1492C and N77565 while the prototype first flew in 1965 or 1966. The owner of N4351Z for many years was Dennis D.Pruett who took it to Africa in the early seventies, its registration was cancelled 3.82 and it became VP-WLH.Самолёты на фотографии: Piper Super Cub PA-18 / L-8 / L-21 - США - 1949

Регистрационный номер: A79-657, N11930, N11933 At first glance the two above do not seem like Archive material at all'. They are clearly ex-RAAF Vampires, the top one ex A79-657 with a crudely painted N11933 on the boom, the lower one is N11930 with a serial ending '45. The photographs were taken by Rod Simpson at Jefferson County Airport, Denver in March 1971 and he simply asks if anyone knows what happened to them?
The ex-RAAF Vampires have been identified as part of a lot of fourteen purchased in 1970 by Westair International of Broomfield, Colorado. They were registered N11920 to N11933 inclusive, being respectively ex A79-602/613/616/617/618/624/631/635/639/644/645/646/654 and 657. N11927 was re-regd N35DS later. Most are still current, though not necessarily active, and our featured N11930 is with Edward Stead of Bedford, NH, while N11933 was wfu in 10.76 but is still with Bradley Museum, Windsor Locks, CT.Самолёты на фотографии: De Havilland Vampire T / Vampire NF / D.H.113 / D.H.115 - Великобритания - 1950
