Gentlemen,



A friend of mine is looking for a Tri-Islander, can anyone steer me/him to a 

source for them?

Tom,,

SkyQuest seems to deal in commuter aircraft.

They have three Islanders on their listing, but they are twins.

They may know where some are.

Tom, I remember quite a few Trislanders operated in South Africa and

Mozambique some years ago. Perhaps looking into their registries will give

you an indication. I have the SA civil aircraft registry somewhere; will

send it to you this afternoon. Gotogonow.

Thanks

Nico

If he is so intent on self-flagellation, he should look into a Heron with

the original Gipsy Major Mk-10 4's.

(just kidding... Find one with the Lyc conversion)

Hey,



There's 2 Herons on the cargo side in Honolulu but I think they still have

the Rangers on them.  They are not flat engines.  Probably REALLY cheap,

too.

Tom,

 I have always thought that it should be expressed as Trial-Slander, claiming to be an aeroplane.

 If the Tri-Islander is the answer, what was the question???

 A fellow Australian, Desmond Norman (Brittain-Norman) has a lot to answer for.

 Cheers,

 Bill Hamilton

Deneal,

 I think you will find the Heron has DH Gipsy Queens, a very different engine to the Gipsy Major, which was, in fact, a Renault engine built under license, although all the Gipsy Majors built under licence by Wright and GM were converted to SAE threads, to confuse the issue, genuine DH built Gipsy's retained the original metric threads.

 As far as I know, the Queens were a DH design, 6 cylinder, and in various outputs from 220HP through to something like 340HP, but don't quote me, it's been a long time since I towed banners in an amazing Mk 1 Groundgripper, the Percival Prentice, or the DH Dragon Rapide with Queen 2's. 

 I did my original AC checkout in a 560 about the same time as I was flying both the above semi-lethal devices, as you might imagine it was somewhat of a revelation to fly my first Aero Commander.

 When my wife asked me how long I had been think about buying the 500A on retirement from full time flying, the instant answer was " since about 1962" (when I first flew Chris DeBeer's 560)

 Cheers,

 Bill H.

Bilbo,

 Given the fatigue and corrosion problems in Herons, about all they are good for now is a Museum or the scrap heap.

 Cheers,

 Bill Hamilton

FYI-twincommanderflyer.com site is up for dibs.  Never new this was such a very small community. My mistake...: )   It is expensive to run,  & needs work.  Any one interested in making it into whatever they want let me know.  I'll allow any Commander owner or enthusiest to take the site and run with it.  I no longer have any interest in it for now.  Anyone with any interest, I'll let you take it over and I will foot the bill for the sake of such a wonderful flying machine.  Just hate to see any Commander stuff go away for ever.  If no interest from anyone, I will terminate the site.

  

 Thanks for listening...

 My very best regards to all
