No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the
twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID
this plane.

Thanks,
Wil

It appears to be based on a Benson Gyrocopter.

I have no idea what this particular exterior may have been called.

Peter

Thanks for the effort Pete, but I'm interested in the plane behind the
gyro.

Oops, I *really* wasn't paying attention when I pressed send that time!

As far as the Gyro goes, someone was kind enough to label the photo
Montegomerie Benson B8MR, and just in case there was any confusion, they
painted Montegomerie Benson in four or five inch tall letters on the
fuselage. *The registration number listed on the picture title and
aircraft itself lead to registration records that state Montegomerie
Benson B8MR as the make and there is an accident report on it that in
addition to the model, states that it is powered by a Rotax, so there
should be no mystery surrounding the Gyro ;')

Sadler Vampire

Mighty close Carles, but I think it is not the Sadler Vampire.

There's a couple of people saying it is the Sparrow Hawk, but I
haven't gotten a confirmation yet.

Thanks,

At the bottom it states that it is a Sparrowhawk and as one of three it
is to be rebuilt to flying condition and the other two were sent back to
the US. A Sparrowhawk search turns up the Curtis fighter or the Gyro by
Groen Bros. Also a search for Swanton Morely airfield shows it was
closed in 1999.

I think Phillippe and Anyolmouse are the definite winners. I dug up an
image using the wayback machine and it is a pretty definite match for
the Sparrow Hawk. Looks real close to the Sadler machine, particularily
the military version, but the Sparrow Hawk is a dead ringer. I heard
Sadler was bringing the Vampire back under LSA rules. It looks like a
neat ship.

Hi again Charles,

Sorry I mistyped your name that time. Yes it does look like a nice
ship, that's what caught my attention. I still can't find any picture
of the Sparrow Hawk. Where did you find the picture at?

Thanks again,
Wil

According to Charles Vincent, you're the winner Anyolmouse. Three
brownie points for you. If you have links to any other pictures of a
Sparrow Hawk, please share.

Thank you,
