VH-NMS Eagle X-TS 150 of Jandakot Flight Centre, at Jandakot Airport, Western Australia – 14 January 2023. MSN 015, built in 1998, registered 20 Apr 1998. This aircraft has not flown for several years, but seems to be under a slow rebuild. The Eagle was conceived by Western Australian inventors Neil Graham and his father Deryck Graham. Graham Swannell and John Roncz were then engaged to design the aircraft. The single-seat prototype Eagle X-P1 was a taildragger based on the Rutan Quickie and first flown in 1984. The Eagle X-TS (Two Seat) had tricycle gear and first flew in 1988, and this was later produced in Western Australia and marketed as the Eagle 150. Eagle Aircraft entered liquidation in 1989 and development slowed, so the type was not certified until 1993. Eagle Aircraft was then purchased by a Malaysian company and production was moved from Fremantle to Malaysia in 1999, where the type was produced by Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM). The Eagle Aircraft hangar at Jandakot is now used by Heliflite. Photo © David Eyre.
