| Senior Member | [QUOTE=Graeme;324069]The Stearman-Hammond Model Y-1S. No doubt about it Wingnut, a very common layout for aircraft. Here's the British Arpin and the Dutch Fokker Promoter as further examples... .... and not forgetting Australia's effort at a similar layout.. |

| Useful aircraft the Airtruk. Put a few sidewinders and amraams on it and you can rename it Boomerang II... Graeme, if it is not the Bendix, probably the Convair Skycoach? |

| Well done Chris! First flown in April 1946 with a 230hp Franklin engine. Performance was poor. With a maximum speed of 142mph it compared badly to the Beech Bonanza's 165mph on 165hp. Development was abandoned. |

| Putting AMRAAMs and Sidewiders on an Airtruk is cheating. Putting lots of children and some australian actor in it is cinema. When I first saw the movie I couldn't believe it was a real aicraft. Australians, eh |

| It had a long multi-cultural history. Designed by an Italian, Luigi Pellarini, for a Sydney based company called Kingsford Smith Aviation Service Pty. Ltd. as the PL-7 tanker, which first flew in September 1956. ![]() Bennett Aviation Ltd in New Zealand altered the PL-7 to produce the Bennett P.L.11 Airtruck in 1960. ![]() Bennett then became Waitomo. ![]() And then Back to Australia in 1965, Transavia Corporation Pty. Ltd. refined the design to become the PL-12 Airtruck. And you're right Krabat, 'Mad Max' put it in the world spotlight. |
