Strange aircraft

edit

Hi, perhaps someone here can help me identify this aircraft that flew low over me this evening at about 18h30. I was at Modderfontien and this strange aircraft was flying east from Johannesburg International towards Johannesburg. Although it was getting dark I saw no markings or identification. This is all I can give you: it was a medium size twin turboprop, guessing about 10m plus in length, not sure but I think it had straight wings, it had a sharp nose cone over a metre long, it had a tail what look like a MAD boom, it had a small white object on its belly which looked like those search radars found on maritime aircraft and lastly it had a cable that ran from the nose to the starboard wing to the tail to the port wing and back to the nose. Sorry but that is all I could get although it flew low and slowly over head it was getting dark. It is smaller than the DC-3s that we use for MR if that helps --Jcw69 17:40, 2 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hawker Audax

edit

The Hawker Audax was a variant of the Hawker Hart (equipped for desert conditions) and should be listed as such, not as a separate type. Farawayman (talk) 08:15, 29 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
