Sixth prototype North American YOV-10A BuNo 152884. North American photo via Garrett AiResearch. This is one of the very best YOV-10A photos I was able find in the Garrett photo archives or anywhere else for that matter, This prototype was the first to have the 40 foot wing although this particular wing is not representative of the final production version. Scanned from 4x5 color negative.

Serial number DC-846B was operated by Bearskin Airlines, a division of Perimeter Aviation LP of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Its Garrett AiResearch TPE331s produced a lovely sound.

Union Pacific GP9 No. 261 sits at North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah the afternoon of March 24, 1979. In April 1956, UP 261, 281, and 185B were equipped with AiResearch Model T-30 turbochargers. To improve performance, UP 261 and 281 received 20" x 20" openings along the carboy doors for additional cool air to feed the intakes. Tests showed overall performance benefited from the openings, but a less expensive rooftop design was adopted. Even though the turbocharger was removed in 1962, UP 261 retained the extra door opening holes until retirement from the roster in 1981. History from UtahRails.net.

At the time this photo was taken, the aircraft, a C-53 N8336C, was known as Spirit of Benovia. it has been renamed Spirit of Douglas and a brand new livery has been applied . The aircraft was renamed in honor of Donald Douglas Sr., who is considered the father of commercial aviation. In 1914, Douglas was the first person to be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering at MIT, completing the four-year course in half the time. After several years with the Glenn Martin Company where he rose to chief engineer at the age of 23, Douglas struck out on his own with the Douglas Aircraft Company and went from employing 22 people to being the fourth-largest business in the US during WWII.

Spirit of Douglas was built at Douglas Aircraft’s plant in Santa Monica, California, and accepted by the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) on June 29th, 1942. The C-53 was primarily designed to drop paratroopers and tow gliders and differs from the C-47 in having a lighter strength floor and no double cargo door. She flew out to Karachi, India (now in Pakistan) in August 1942, initially for service with the Royal Air Force as serial FJ712, but transferred to the 1st Troop Carrier Squadron, 10th Air Force, USAAF in late December 1942, serving the rest of the war in the CBI Theatre.

She went into civilian ownership in India, then China right after WWII, being owned for a while by General Claire Chennault, commander of the American Volunteer Group (AVG, aslo know as the Flying Tigers). reportedly flying Chiang Kai-shek in the Civil Air Transport company out of Taipei, Formosa (now Taiwan).

During the mid-50s, the aircraft received a luxurious VIP interior and an AiResearch Maximizer speed kit. She passed through several other owners over the years, including the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum during the 1980s until its last owners Joe Anderson and Mary Dewane, owners of Benovia Winery in California. The aircraft is currently owned and lovingly cared for by a New Zealand-based family.

The first prototype North American YOV-10A Bronco, BuNo 152879, at the Garrett AiResearch Flight Test hangar in the summer of 1968. The aircraft by this time had received a number of modifications, most notably a 40-foot span wing and uprated T76 engines. The reason for its use by Garrett was to accumulate a lot of hours on the engines so they could anticipate issues that might arise in service as it was just being introduced to squadrons in Vietnam.

Interestingly the 40-foot wing was not a production type wing in that the tailbooms were still the same distance apart as on the original 30-foot wings fitted to the prototypes. On the production models the booms were each 6 inches farther out from the aircraft centerline. It also has the original type horizontal stabilizer but does have improved vertical stabilizer top fairings that are similar but not identical to the production versions.

This is one of several photos taken by Garrett and are the only photos I've seen of 152879 with a 40-foot wing. Oddly, after it left Phoenix it was re-fitted with a 30-foot wing fitted with wingtip extensions bringing the span to 34 feet. This configuration was introduced on several prototypes earlier in the test program as an interim measure while the 40-foot wing was being designed. Not sure why they went "backwards" from the longer wing on 152879 but it was used for a time at PAX and might have had something to do with testing they were using it for. Possibly to get more speed out of it.

If anyone happens to come across other photos of this aircraft with the 40-foot wing as in this photo, I would love to see them!

This is the first prototype of the OV-10A which flew for the first time on this date (July 16, 1965) 57 years ago at North American Aviation's plant in Columbus, Ohio with Ed Gillespie at the controls.

The Bentley Mulsanne is a (performance) luxury car which was produced by Bentley Motors Limited from 1980 until 1992. Introduced in 1980 replacing the Bentley T series, the Mulsanne was the kissin cousin to the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.

Launched simply as the Mulsanne, taking its name from the famous straight on the Le Mans 24 hour circuit, the Mulasnne was powered by a normally aspirated Bentley 6750cc V8 engine with aluminium alloy cylinder heads. Two SU carburettors. Although the original car was no slouch, in 1982 the normally aspirated Mulsanne was joined by the Mulsanne Turbo which featured a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger which provided a 50%. increase in engine power.

In 1987 both models were replaced in the Bentley line up, the Mulsanne by the normally aspirated Mulsanne S which would continue in production into 1992, with a further 970 cars built. The Mulsanne Turbo by the Bentley Turbo R

The first prototype North American YOV-10A at Port Columbus Airport, Columbus, Ohio, prior to its first flight 55 years ago today, July 16, 1965. Hard to believe it was that long ago.

Later in its life (1968) this particular YOV-10A was fitted with the longer 40 foot wing and was tested extensively in Phoenix, Arizona where the Garrett/AiResearch T76 engines were built. Interestingly the longer production-like wing was replaced with the shorter wing once again (with tip extensions, 34 foot span) and was flown for some time in that configuration at Patuxent River. It ended up at China Lake.

Developed from the short lived Mark III RS1600i a homologation special, for Group A/N competition, launched at the begining of 1983 and gone by September. The 1600i was powered by a 1597cc CVH injection engine with an output of 115bhp, matched with a close ratio five speed transmission.

The RS Turbo followed in 1984, using the same basic engine, but Turbocharged with the use of a Garret AIResearch Turbo, and producing 132bhp which remained throughout its life. The RS Turbo remained in production until 1990, but models can be split into Series 1 based on the Mk.III Escort until 1986 and the Series 2 based on the fourth generation Escort.

The RS Turbo Series 1 was only marketed in a few European nations as production was limited to 5,000 examples, all in white. They were well equipped, with the alloy wheels from the limited production RS 1600i, Recaro seats, and a limited slip differential with only one non white car, a black example built especially for Lady Diana Spencer later HRH Princess of Wales.

This incredible combination of a Citroën SM converted into a pick-up, with an other Citroën SM on a trailer, was the long life project of Jerry Hathaway (1946-2021) from California.

Even the trailer has the hydraulic suspension of Citroën.

The SM enjoyed great success in the USA from the time of its introduction there in April 1972, when it was voted ‘Car of the Year’ by Motor Trend. The USA was the third largest market for the Citroën SM, after France and Italy, and the car was most successful in California. At the end of 1973, the last Citroën SMs were sold in the USA. New rules were scheduled to come into force for 1974, in particular the requirement for ‘impact-resistant’ bumpers, and Citroën was unwilling to make the necessary changes to what was a relatively low-volume model. By the time production ceased some 12,920 SMs had been built, only 2,037 of which were sold in the USA.

A wonderful, rather quaint Garrett Corporation, AirResearch Division artist’s airbrush depiction of the Mercury Program capsule’s closed-type Environmental Control System (ECS), provided/manufactured by the company. Note the interesting upper torso/upper thigh mesh restraint system.

Unfortunately, no artist’s signature is visible.

Produced by Renault owned manufacturer Alpine at their Dieppe plant. Due to limited budget during development the car strongly resembles the earlier GTA, but it is a completely different car sharing only the windows with the GTA. The basic concept remains, rear engine, steel back bone chassis and lightweight body. The PRV engine remained but enlarged to 3.0 ltr (2975cc) with a Garrett AiResearch T3 Turbochargerform producing 250bhp and a maximum speed of 165mph. The A610 did not result in an improvement in sales over the commercially disappointing GTA and the car was discontinued in 1995, The A610 was to be the last car to carry the Alpine name until the 2017 release of the new Alpine A110. After production of the A610 ended, the Alpine factory in Dieppe produced the Renault Spider
