No, but you have homed in on the right country

Sorry Graeme, in my 1225 post I said I would hold off posting pending Mel's challenge, but following David's invitation to us both, I went for it

Lightning Mate

Long shot - Staudacher S-600.

skytrain10

Nope, not one of those.

Lightning Mate

I thus assume it's not a dedicated aerobatic job.

skytrain10

Wrong assumption - it IS an aerobatic job.

All rather quiet....to help you along, a one-off, 1970's design.

SincoTC

Evening Ken,

I've been out all afternoon and it does seem to have been quiet; although I note that David has aquired a new icon for some reason !!

Does one-off mean it's a manufacturer's prototype that didn't go into production, or that it's an amateur's, built from scratch effort?

Was it presented at any well known events?

skytrain10

Evening Trevor
The latter One source describes it as a homebuild - but no plans were ever offered that I can see.

It may have been, but I cannot see there is any photo on the net that reflect's that. Let me check further.

Not sure what's happened with David...not seen anything that would have prompted the icon change

skytrain10

Trevor, I can't see that it has appeared at any major events. That's not to say it hasn't but merely that there is no obvious record of it having done so.

As this one is proving elusive, to help, it first flew in 1978 and remains current on the register today.

Noyade

Evening.

It is mate. I had a look in a woman's journal (Jane's) for 1978, but no luck.

Gentlemen. Reading this, is it time to move on? Seriously, there's is only a handful playing, maybe just continue via e-mail?

Would it be the Bushby/Long Midget Mustang built by John Strether?

skytrain10

Morning mate, but you clearly didn't look close enough, as it is in Janes 78/79! Different photo though.

Sorry Graeme, but if the selection of aircraft we are covering is not Aviation History, then what is it? I would suggest that this particular forum is about as close as you can get to the subject matter.

You may be right. For whatever reason the level of interest in SC, and the other challenges has wained. We are now down to 3-4 regulars with David's latest disappearance and with the recent comments about quizes I think others may now be hesitant to contribute.

skytrain10

Not the Midget Mustang Mel.

I appreciate there has been a bit of chat today, so just to remind everyone, this is from the same country that gave us the Extra, so it's a German design. See my 1458 post.

Closing down for the night now. Usual rules apply.

Good night

MReyn24050

Wallerkowski Hornisse perhaps?

Noyade

Dammit! The Homebuilt section!

Looks somewhat different? And too many spectators blocking the view.

Nice work Mel.

By the power invested in me - your control Mel. (Unless Ken comes back later for a quick peek.)

MReyn24050

Thanks Graeme. Great Challenge Skytrain10 . Here is a Nostalgic aircraft:-

Noyade

Evening Mel.

I see we've moved from the Chaco war to Spain? Not only Nostalgic but Historical.

Vultee V1-A?

MReyn24050

HI Graeme. Bedtime for me. You have it the Vultee V1-A converted into a bomber in the Spanish Civil War.


You have control.

Noyade

Tempting fate there Mel, 964 pixels wide.

Thanks mate, but I'm not feeling very nostalgic or historical at the moment. Discovered the Welcome mat is gone...going away to see if I can find another one.

Open House.

Karlark

One needs to be very nostalgic for this open house one :



Edit: Hopefully the thread sticks around, and Noyade too, not to mention the rest of you regulars.
