Thanks for that series. I'm trying to identify a similar aircraft that I photographed some years ago. It's very similar to the L-4, although there are differences to the engine and the cockpit area - that apart they are clearly related. Incidentally, the very small yellow writing on the engine cowling says: "Douglas Bader Wing" underneath which is the badge and initials CAF of the Confederate (now Commemorative) Air Force. I can't trace the aircraft on their website, however, nor does there seem to be any mention of a "Douglas Bader Wing". Any assistance would be appreciated. -- Moving things in still pictures! |

Hi A Google search for "115302 aircraft" brings up UKWarbirds.net as a possibility which has a L18C Super Cub (PA18-95) registration 115302/G-BJTP, the owner is given as John Parkins and the location as Pershore Worcestershire England. There is also a photo or four on Airliners.net which give a construction number of 18-999 and one says it is 'Resplendent in a US Marines colour scheme. Previously registered EI-51, I-EICO, MM51-15302 (Italian Army) and 51-15302(US Military Series)' and another says fake US Marines markings. Hope this helps and doesn't just restate what you already know. -- Andrew "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." (Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895.) |

Ah, if only I'd had the sense to Google in that number, instead of faffing about looking at Pipers, Taylorcrafts, Aeroncas and Stinsons. Sir, I'm in your debt.

o.uk... Andrew, Thanks very much. Ah, if only I'd had the sense to Google in that number, instead of faffing about looking at Pipers, Taylorcrafts, Aeroncas and Stinsons. Sir, I'm in your debt. Richard -- Moving things in still pictures! Richard, I only found that registration or similar searches work by accident, I was trying to discover the aircraft behind a tail code and in exasperation gave it a try and I was pleasantly suprised when the results included what I was looking for. I have also found that http://homepage.ntlworld.com/airnet/ is a great start for information. Glad to have been able to help. -- Andrew "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
