That sure looks alot like the Beagle that had a gear up landing in CXO a couple of years ago, and sat on our ramp for ages... Never knew what happened to it later... (Notice the bent prop?)

 

[Danos]

I noticed that too and thought it may have had a gear up landing but the underbelly didn't show any signs of it. I think this plane has been at MGJ forever. I was imagining how it would have looked in it's heyday or restored. It gave me a respect for people who do that kind of thing. I should have asked one of the resident pilots what the story was with it. I will next time.

IIRC, the Beagles had some kind of hard limit on airframe time. It wasn't a very high number, but it's been a long time since I heard what the time limit was.

Photos here; history and stats here.

I worked with one of these back in Baltimore, it was a real brute. GTSIO-520 C engines too. I still have Brittish standard wrenches available if anybody picks it up.

Thanks Ed. I knew there was something I couldn't put my finger on :smile:

I recognized that plane from MGJ as soon as I saw the picture. It looks very forlorn out there on the ramp.

Yup. It's bird's nest more or less.
