Talk:ANEC I

message: Article states that the ANEC II is a two-seater, the infobox image seems to show only space for one person?! Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 22:41, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe that it's permanent: see the latest article revision.  It was done, it seems, when the ABC engine was added in the 30s and kept in the restoration.  Next time one of us is at Old Warden, let's take a close look.TSRL (talk) 10:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  ANEC II 

message: Sanger tells a different story.  He agrees G-EBHR (1st prot) went to Australia late '24, but says it had been bought by G.A.V. Church and George Boehm (our/Meggs supposed builder).  He says it was re-registered as G-AUET.  The Australian built machine (G-AUEQ -> VH-UEQ) was, according to him made by ? for Air Transport Ltd, a company founded by A G Simpson, for joy riding.  The only overlapping character in both accounts is Boehm, in different roles (and Miller, see below). He does give a detailed story, with registration dates and cert no.s.  It later (Sanger) went to C Fitzgerald for conversion as a hydroplane.  Sanger observes that the histories of the two Australians have become intertwined and confused.  Hard to judge who is right; I don't have Meggs to hand to look at the detail.  Even then ... TSRL (talk) 10:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is agreement that Boehm wanted the aircraft for the Richmond competition but did not get it in time.  In Sanger's version, Miller would have piloted it.TSRL (talk) 11:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks confusing just been looking at some of my refs and not all is clear, I will come back later with some thoughts. MilborneOne (talk) 11:53, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good stuff! There would be very close agreement between this account and Sanger's if G-EBHR became G-AUET rather than 'EQ. Then the other Australian would be 'EQ.  The Oz c/ns would also make more sense, though 'HR does not seem to have a UK c/n.  So its AB register vs AB book!  Goldenyears (for what it's worth) is ambiguous, mentions both possibilities. What independent contemporary sources might we turn to?  The ANEC II notation is not mentioned by Sanger, though GY also use it.  Odd.TSRL (talk) 14:19, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The third aircraft looked like it was shipped in early 1925 which doesnt prevent it ending up as EQ, if the report that EQ was flown in October 24 was just a guess based on the registration dates. Do we have any references to any of them actually flying in 1924 or 1925. The fact that EQ was never painted up and then damaged in a flood and ET being cancelled in early 26 they could have been some donating of (big) bits between the two!

replies: text: Not found any evidence of flying in those years, though I suspect that Flight under CGG was always rather insular.TSRL (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
