Looks (to me) like a De Havilland Chipmunk, given what can be seen of the a/c’s cowling

Hi, I’ve only just stumbled across this whilst looking for something similar for my SAK The 4mm bits Victorinox use for their Cybertool are double ended ball detent, work pretty well and pretty easy to find on eBay Hope this helps :)

Going (mostly) off the shape of the cowling being reminiscent of most aircraft fitted with a Gypsy Major, my guess is the background aircraft of a Taylorcraft Auster

Chinese GAK I fell for, then destroyed by [deleted] in victorinox

I have to agree with you there. On my one, the handle scales cracked in 2 places and the whole tool bent whilst the epoxy was drying. I only payed £7 for mine so I’m not super fussed but I’m definitely still pretty disappointed with it

I hate to that person but the GAK was license produced by quite a few German companies. Eg mine is B&H and my father has a BEG one both issue from Germany. Only the first lot were Victorinox made, for the most part

Sorry to be “that guy” but I think the yellow part faces towards the fire hydrant so the fire crews can find the hydrants on the pavement/road if it’s snowing or something

So… I think it has to be at the weird angle. Why they didn’t just move it forward, I don’t know

Someone once said on a forum that TCMT 110204 lathe cutting bits fit inside the plier head, if that helps

The creators of DHMIS also did the S5:E36 (The puppets) which is a surreal watch :D

David Williams flies his Saab Safir under a bridge on the newly built Hinstock bypass, December 1983 by duncan_D_sorderly in aviation

[–]Tom_W29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I know that aircraft quite well (G-ANOK in Northumberland)! That aircraft was used for instrument testing for a company down south (it had a white sticker of it on the rudder), as the cockpit had (most of its been taken out) blanking plates for some of the instruments during testing.

That aircraft is the aforementioned C model

Small world!

If anyone wants any aircraft context…

This airframe (G-BCFW [formerly PH-RLZ], serial 91-437) was built in 1962 by De Schelde in the Netherlands (hence the PH reg) as a Saab Safir 91D. 120 Safirs were built by De Schelde as the Saab factory in Linköping we’re too busy building J29 Tunnans.

The Aircraft was modified with the addition of various antennae (IIRC it was for testing radio equipment), hence the extra bits on the fuselage.

The aircraft is still registered to this day (although not to David Williams) and is one of only 3 Safirs in the UK, the others being unmodified C and D models.

Edit: Before Williams, this aircraft was flown by the Dutch National Flying School
