At the moment Helicopter+Small Prop Paul.

We are finalising the details for a 'General Aviation' category.

Aj,

thanks for that - just wish the screener who rejected my appeal knew it - rejection reason was 'helicopter only pls'

Will resubmit when i get a slot.

Yep, military AND bizjet have o be selected in such cases.

Cheerio

[AJ]

Yes please Brian.

Where do we stand with a military aircraft that would otherwise, in civilian use, be regarded as a business jet ?

Obviously it should be Genre = Military but do we still need bizjet to be ticked ?

AJ,

what is the most suitable category for an autgyro as they have both a small prop + rotors - have got 1 in the queue with both ticked

[paulc]

AJ,

just a general comment about the small prop category - how about having 'any single / twin engined prop aircraft that does not fall into another category' instead of (cessna etc..)

[AJ]

I'll be honest Don, I have no idea the point you are trying to make.

Are you saying it must be ex-Military to be in the Warbird/Vintage category? That is simply not true as civilian aircraft fall in the "Vintage" part.

I've got to figure out how you catagorized things. Warbirds all or Vintage all. that's one huge catagory!

Not at all confusing Don, hopefully the uploader has spent a little bit research on the type. The Beech 18 and all the types you listed are all "Warbird/Vintage".

Just to give you a hard time:

One of the Beech 18's I personally flew in 1965 / 67 was built in 1957. The owner picked it up new from the factory. There wasn't a military mark on it. I took to to Volpar where it was converted into a Tri-Gear Beech 18. I flew it a lot less after that as the owner could land it by himself after that.

Another was built in 1939 Also a Beech 18, civilian however it was converted to C-45 configuration during the war and back to Beech 18 (up graded to S model) after the war.

Not that it matters, its all in the eye of the beholder.

AJ,
Several versions of the Twin Beech (AKA Tin Bitch) that were military C-45, AT-11, AT17 (Army), CU45-J and SNB-1 (Navy) These were Warbirds / Classic.

The Beach 18 is the civilian version that was produced until 1969.

Confusing, isn't it?
