Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

OK then, it's full name is the Grahame-White Type X Aerobus.

120hp Austro-Daimler engine.

[Noyade]

...it's described in the caption as the 1913 counterpart of a 'Jumbo jet.'

[Noyade]

That's him! :ok:

His chief pilot, Louis Noel, used it to set up a world load-carrying record, by flying with nine passengers for nearly 20 minutes.

Your control!

[Lightning Mate]

Standby please everyone, but I'm at work and I've got some urgent e-mails to which I must respond.

[Noyade]

I'm at work

Really? :hmm:

[Lightning Mate]

We've had triplanes before, but not this one:

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/wossat240-1.jpg

[Noyade]

Austrian....?

[Lightning Mate]

Yes, although some sources say German.

[Noyade]

German, eh?!...cunning Bosch....did it have "Think and Kill " capabilities?

Suppose ya gonna ask me what I'm drinking? :hmm:

[Noyade]

Did you notice that you're very close to 2000 posts mate!...a senior contributor! :ok:

(Still looking)

[Noyade]

Bingo!...

[Lightning Mate]

Strewth - 20 minutes! :\

Now I'll ask you what you're on tonight.

[Noyade]

I'm glad you asked. An interesting drop from South Australia (Beelbangera wineries) called, get this, sq3 Cabernet Merlot.

Two images. The long-eared guy climbing the the ladder is a bit of a worry, looks like he belongs in "The Lord of the Rings?"

[Lightning Mate]

....and here it is:

[Noyade]

Well they're not Japanese despite the dark looking roundels...Russian?

[Lightning Mate]

Not Russian I'm afraid.

[Noyade]

Hmmm....a fighter then?

[Lightning Mate]

Youv'e got me there - I'm not sure!

[Noyade]

Got a few places to look (Mr Green)...and the washing up to do...so I'll catch ya later mate...:ouch:

[Bradenav]

Hello

Holland's Spyker ?

[Lightning Mate]

Bonjour Richard.

The Spijker A-7.

Over to you. :ok:

[Bradenav]

Bonjour

The next one :


http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8110/98721510.jpg (http://img217.imageshack.us/i/98721510.jpg/)

[Lightning Mate]

I'm limited on time this afternoon.

A Thulin?

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,not a Thulin ...

[SincoTC]

Bonjour Richard,

Just a hurried lunch-time shot; is it a VL-Tuisku or Viima ?

Seeing as there was only one built, it seems more likely to be a VL-Paarma, but I can't find any images at the moment and it's back to work now, so Open House please in the unlikely event that I'm correct.

[Lightning Mate]

I can't see any wheels on this thing.

Did it have skis?

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,neither Tuisku nor Viima nor Paarma ,but it's right :it is on Skis.

[Lightning Mate]

Are you prepared to tell us the colour of that swastika.....?

[Ridge Runner]

How about Russian but in Finnish marks? A Po-2???? (a wild guess!)

[Lightning Mate]

Hi RR.

You missed a fast-moving thread this morning.

[Ridge Runner]

It seems I did David. I've been away for a few days and now I'm back and close to a computer for a few days!!!!!!

[Ridge Runner]

How about a VL machine, a Tuisku?

[Bradenav]

It's going fast !

The swastika is NOT red ,but BLUE.
It's NOT Russian.
It's NOT a Valmet (or V.L).

Good Luck

Richard

[Ridge Runner]

So it is Finnish operated?

[Bradenav]

Yes ,Finnish operated.

[teusje]

Is it Dutch, a Koolhoven maybe?

[Lightning Mate]

I'll get you for this Richard!.

Beware the fighter pilot out of the sun........:E

[larssnowpharter]

Am thinking the Letov 218 or 118?

[Lightning Mate]

Hi pharter.

Been there - got the t-shirt....

[Bradenav]

Neither Dutch nor Tschecoslowakei...

[Lightning Mate]

Tschecoslowakei...

must remember how to spell that......:)

[Lightning Mate]

I feel this aeroplane may be Deutche.......

[Bradenav]

If you mean " German designed " ,it's right .:O

[teusje]

The Rumpler C.VIII then?

If correct Open House please.

[Bradenav]

No ,the Rumpler has an inline engine ,and this one has a radial ,and is a post Great War design ...

[Noyade]

Evening to you all.

Is it a Focke-Wulf Fw 44...?

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9105/fw44ski1724660.jpg (http://img69.imageshack.us/i/fw44ski1724660.jpg/)

[SincoTC]

Bonjour Richard,

Following your very good but subtle clues; I now believe that your Challenge shows the Sk 10 Trainer version of the Raab-Katzenstein RK-26 Tigerschwalbe, originally designed by Gerhard Fieseler and built for the Swedish airforce, one was later donated to Finland for the "Winter War" campaign.

Sk10 RK-26 Tiger-Schwalbe (http://www.avrosys.nu/aircraft/skol/410Sk10.htm)

Just found your image here!

F19 in the Winter War (http://www.saunalahti.fi/~fta/f19-1.htm)

It's an early start this morning and a busy day ahead, so please declare Open House if you agree with my findings.

[Bradenav]

:ok: Congratulations SincoTC :ok:

You say " very good but subtle clues "

Very kind words ,I didn't give much clues : Only "German designed ,in Finnish service "

OPEN HOUSE

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning, bonjour, and g'day.

Nice research TC.

Here's an interesting old aeroplane:

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/wossat246-1.jpg

[Noyade]

Morning to you. I found Sinco's site today which showed all Finnish aircraft in chronological order but stopped at the Fw-44...(I just made an excuse, didn't I?! lol).

American?

[Lightning Mate]

G'day Mate.

American it was.

[Noyade]

Poor quality photo means a "rare" manufacturer, otherwise I was thinking Curtiss?

[Lightning Mate]

I've "silhouetted" the photo, but it wasn't very good in the first place.

I had never heard of the manufacturer, but it's not a Curtiss.

[Noyade]

Ok then....

[Noyade]

Military aircraft...bomber maybe?

[Lightning Mate]

Military aircraft...bomber maybe?

It was indeed. (I didn't think you did much fishing).

[Noyade]

By a company called LWF...?

[Lightning Mate]

Bait doesn't taste too good.

No.

[Noyade]

Are we looking at an aircraft built prior to 1917?

[Lightning Mate]

To be precise, 1916.

[Noyade]

Well, I've got some serious googling to do as I have the first American bomber listed as the Martin GMB of 1918?

[Lightning Mate]

Google was my friend.......

[Noyade]

Rosebud or Aerofiles? Or neither?

[Lightning Mate]

From Rosebud.

[Lightning Mate]

I've just discovered it's also in Aerofiles.

[Lightning Mate]

I have to go now, I'll leave the green light on.

Back in fifty minutes.

[Noyade]

Google was my friend....... Well, he's not my Fokker Friendship, but he did help me find No.16, the Andermat Biplane...

Search AEROFILES.COM: biplane bomber prototype (http://aerofiles.master.com/texis/master/search/mysite.html?q=biplane+bomber+prototype&order=r&n=10)

[Lightning Mate]

Bingo.

All yours Mate. :D

[Noyade]

Thanks mate. Sticking with the oldies...

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8077/bookgyg.jpg (http://img31.imageshack.us/i/bookgyg.jpg/)

[Lightning Mate]

Looking at the chap in the centre, French?

[Lightning Mate]

I've been playing with image a bit, and that uniform looks like a very old version of the British Post Office.

So is it by any chance British?

[Noyade]

Yes, British and he does work for the Post Office.
This is a rehearsal at Hendon for the 1911 Coronation mail service that was to start a few days later.

[Lightning Mate]

That's a big clue, but Google and I are having an argument. :\

[Lightning Mate]

Got this so far:


The planes used were two Bleriots and a Farman

[Noyade]

Well try this then...according to Peter Lewis this aircraft was the first to fly cargo by air in Britain..

[Noyade]

...a box of Osram lamps...

[Lightning Mate]

...a box of Qsram lamps...

Wossa Qsram lamp?

[Noyade]

... the pilot was a Mr Horatio Barber and he was paid 100 pounds for his services...

[Lightning Mate]

You're getting too soft in your old age.....

Is it by any chance called a Valkyrie?

Dimwit - I missed the bit about Horatio Barber.

[Noyade]

Wossa Qsram lamp?

Chinese imitation of an Osram lamp....:hmm:

[Noyade]

North American?..No.

Am I correct at post #9088?

[Noyade]

Just pulling ya chain mate...:)...yes, the Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd. Valkyrie B Monoplane...Your control mate!

[Noyade]

Catch you and others tomorrow..:ok:

Cheers.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Graeme.

Google took me all over the place.

This one's not quite so old:

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/wossat247.jpg

[SincoTC]

Artnoon LM,

It's lunchtime, but I've got half an eye cocked on NasaTV watching the Shuttle Atlantis make it's last deadstick landing and listening for the double boom as it arrives in the area, there's about eleven minutes to go!

I'll have a crack at your "Big Brother" post at tea break, doesn't it seem a long time ago now?

TC

[Lightning Mate]

Hi TC.

Please expand on "Big Brother" - I am probably being dumb this afternoon, but Graemes' last challenge has given me brain ache!

[SincoTC]

Hi LM,

Graeme mentioned the other day that you were approaching your 2000th post so go check your challenge mate! (but of course, it rolls on and you've made another post since so point is lost :uhoh: )

Shuttle's down now and break is over and I didn't get to id your challenge, I'll try later if it's still here :p !!

[Lightning Mate]

I see you're on line RR.

Any ideas?

[Ridge Runner]

Hi David,

With that wing layout I thought of SPAD. However the engine looks more German???

[Lightning Mate]

It's not a Spad and I don't know what the engine is, but I'll look.

However, the aeroplane is not German.

[Ridge Runner]

What is that "rack" thing along the side of the fuselage?

[evansb]

Most probably a radiator.

[Lightning Mate]

Good evening gentlemen.

The aeroplane was Danish.

One of our fleet aeroplanes has the callsign Hotel Mike. It is number 5 in the fleet.............;)

[Bradenav]

Hello
In Jane's 1919 it's the

" Danish Governement Biplane " designed and built by the government workshop ...On a danish site ,it's the HAER MASKINE H.5 ...( I suppose ,its means Air Machine H.5 )more ,I don't know

[Lightning Mate]

Richard,

:D:D:D

[Bradenav]

Thank you.
We are staying on the same years ;
Good luck

Richard

[HarmoniousDragmaster]

Italian? Ansaldo triplane?

[Ridge Runner]

No idea!!! RR



Blog | From The Lens of Martin Williams (http://www.fromthelens.co.uk/store/blog/)

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,not Italian...It's not a project ,it actually flew ...

[Lightning Mate]

Nice pics Martin.

Wossa camera? I use a Canon DSLR, often with a 300mm telephoto.

[Lightning Mate]

Is the challenge Japanese?

[Bradenav]

It's from continental-Europa
The tail is not shown ,because the challenge will be easy when you'll see it ;)

[Noyade]

300mm telephoto.Pffffffttt...that's not a lens....this is a lens...so fricken powerful you need to wear an asbestos suit!...

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2679/minesbigger.jpg (http://img692.imageshack.us/i/minesbigger.jpg/)

No idea Richard, actually, that's a lie...I had a few ideas and found similar looking triplanes but none matched exactly...

[Ridge Runner]

Wossa camera? I use a Canon DSLR, often with a 300mm telephoto.

See PM so as not to clutter the thread!

[MReyn24050]

Wild guess, the Hannover F.10 perhaps?

[Bradenav]

:ok: Not so wild : it's the Hannover F 10 ,the first civil German Aircraft after WW I first flown January 1919 .

You have the control .

[MReyn24050]

Thank you Richard. I said a wild guess because I found the description of the aircraft but could not find a photograph. I believe it had a biplane tailplane also.
Here is the next, a much easier one.

Bristol Brabazon

[Lightning Mate]

A no-fin Brabazon.

Bugger you Ton:)

[one11]

Yep - Brabazon - found this while looking up Bristol sources for Mel's challenge
and thought it worth an airing with no great expectation of it fooling anyone. Over to you Teusje

[Ridge Runner]

It looks like a Nord? One from the 1200 series?

[Bradenav]

It looks like french :) , but it's not french ...

[Ridge Runner]

OK, so Italian? A Piaggio?

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,not Italian .

[Lightning Mate]

Bonjour,

Reminds me of a development of a German aeroplane.

[Bradenav]

Certainly not a development ,but ,perhaps ,influenced by a german design.

[Ridge Runner]

An Alon design, or something resembling an Aircoupe?

[Lightning Mate]

I'm looking at the small air inlets. So is the engine water-cooled?

[Lightning Mate]

An early Mooney?

[Ridge Runner]

It looks to me like Richard has been generous with the Photoshop brush along the side of the cowling? Hiding something!

[Lightning Mate]

Probably the name!

He's not the only one with Photoshop........

[Lightning Mate]

Another shot.

Bellanca?

[Bradenav]

Hello

Don't look further in U.S : it's european .
I used a little the brush not for the name ,but only for the paint .(I don't use photoshop ,too expensive ,but iphoto)
The engine is an european one too ,inline and air cooled.

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/6039/36676016.jpg (http://img28.imageshack.us/i/36676016.jpg/)

[Lightning Mate]

Is the engine therefore a Gypsy?

[Bradenav]

No , engine and airframe are from the same continental country .
Good luck
Richard

[MReyn24050]

Would that be the Mraz M-3 Bonzo perchance. Mel

[Bradenav]

:ok: IT'S RIGHT

Mel

[Bradenav]

Maybe Lockheed XP-900 ?

[Lightning Mate]

I think it's the YP-24.

[SincoTC]

Just beat me to it LM, Consolidated that is, not Lockheed!

Or maybe it's the Consolidated P-25

[Lightning Mate]

But that had a Curtiss Conqueror engine.

[SincoTC]

You're right there, it did have a three-bladed prop, but I didn't notice the sleeker cowl :\ It does look like it's the Lockheed YP-24, but the Altair XP-900 seems to be an AKA for the P-24 !

Gotta go now, good hunting!

[one11]

I agree with LM and have found the same photo titled Detroit-Lockheed YP-24 but with a note that the YA-9 was similar

[Ridge Runner]

Mraz M-3 Bonzo

A nice one Richard!

[MReyn24050]

David has it. It is indeed the Detroit-Lockheed YP-24.:ok:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Quiz%20Aircraft/Detroit-LockheedYP-24.jpg
I told you it would be easy. LM has control.

[Lightning Mate]

Thank you kindly Mel.

Now you know that I do not often delay in my responses, and this is a silhouette challenge to satisfy the purists, but I have left the engine not filled in:

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/wossat249.jpg

[Bradenav]

Too easy:):):)

The mexican Government built "Microplano" (Jane's 1919)

[Lightning Mate]

Too easy

OK Richard, it does not always have to be difficult for us all to have fun.

My next one will be a bastard.

Your control. :ok:

[teusje]

LM, it sort of looks like the photo in post 8911.

[Lightning Mate]

8991 Ton ?

And now ,the next ,not too difficult ,I guess.

Please excuse the "banter" Richard.

Sorry, I don't know if there is a French word for that. :)

[Noyade]

Well done Richard! Managed to cauterize the spurters? :)

Here we go...

I saw that when I was looking for Richards' challenge, which I thought at first was Italian.

Iss Italian innit.

[Lightning Mate]

Gone back through tabs.

Caproni Ca-5.

[Lightning Mate]

Richard, please check PM.

[Bradenav]

Hello

Banter means " plaisanter " in french , something like joking ...:)

[Noyade]

Sorry for the delay mate...echnidas, goannas and wombats broke into the house. It's a bloody mess, but I've got'em running scared.

Speaking of control...it's yours David, the Caproni Ca.5 :ok:

Goodnight David and Richard. :ok:

I have replied to your PM. :ok:

Standby for a new challenge.

[Lightning Mate]

I have tried to make it as much of a silhouette as possible without obscuring too much detail.

[Ridge Runner]

something from Avions Fairey?

[Bradenav]

Sorry , NO :)

One more continental European ,from Germany :)

[Ridge Runner]

Ah, okay. So, it is a Heinkel?

[Lightning Mate]

Morning RR.

So far I've been through a site listing at least twenty-four Heinkels and I'm buggered if I can find it.

Is it an Arado?

[Noyade]

Morning.

Heinkel He 49W ?

[Noyade]

Heinkel He 51B-2?

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,not an Heinkel...

[Lightning Mate]

The challenge has equal-span wings and what appears to be little, if any, stagger.

Is it an Arado?

[Noyade]

One more continental European ,from Germany http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gif

German designed but built/flown by another nation?

[Noyade]

Is it an Arado?G'day mate! I'm trying to date this thing. The flying boat(?) on the far left looks like an early Dornier, maybe the Dolphin II which puts it 1922-33(?) which is predominately the Heinkel era. I only start seeing Arados after 1934...but what do I know?! :)

[Lightning Mate]

...but what do I know?!

More than me............:\

At least we know it isn't a Heinkel.

[Bradenav]

Hello
- It's a german prototype flown in Germany
-neither Arado nor Heinkel.
-It's not well known , but it's not true " rara avis " .
-it was one of the contenders of the "Seaplanes competition Warnemunde" 1926.
-it was the last plane from it's stable

Good luck
Richard

[teusje]

The LFG V60 with Jupiter engine?

[teusje]

Or the Udet U.13?

[Bradenav]

teusje ,it's right :ok: it's the last "UDET" ,Udet U 13 ;
A very nice picture of this floatlane .

You have the control

[teusje]

Thank you Richard. Even with all the clues that was hard to find.

A easier one this time.

Ton.

[MReyn24050]

Re Richard's last challenge. For the record, which was it the LFG V60 or the Udet U.13?

[one11]

Fokker but which one - lets try a FXVIII..........

[teusje]

That's a pretty good try.:ok:

You have control, one11

Ton.

[Bradenav]

Re -re -richard : Udet U 13 ,indeed:)

[one11]

Probably not anonymous enough to last long....

[Ridge Runner]

American?????

[one11]

Not American

[HarmoniousDragmaster]

Looks like a De Havilland to me, can't remember the number though.

[HarmoniousDragmaster]

Now I do!

Specially modified DH.14 Okapi. Something for a long range flight around 1920 I think?

OH if correct, bed time :)

[Noyade]

HD has it...waiting for BAC 111...finger poised with challenge for OH....:)

[Noyade]

Udet U 13 ,indeedhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gifReading in bed...then it stuck me (a thought that is)...what if it's not military...? :hmm:

Nice challenge Richard :ok:.

[Lightning Mate]

...finger poised with challenge for OH....

You too eh....

[Noyade]

How was your long weekend guys!?

[Lightning Mate]

Wet...............

[Noyade]

Really!? It was wet here too, especially Saturday.

[Noyade]

Wanna give me a hint for your challenge? :) LOL

Not that you'll beat to the keyboard....

[Noyade]

I'll give you a hint with mine...IT'S NOT GERMAN!

[Lightning Mate]

Got to go now.

Good luck.

[Noyade]

Another lecture? Make the guys at the back sit up the front...well, that's what my brother always says, he's a science teacher.

Billabong High School (http://schools.xenware.net/billabong/?id=3271)

[Lightning Mate]

I see you're back HD.

Since you posted OH because of zzzzzzzzzzz time, do you want to withdraw it now?

Methinks 'twould only be fair.

[Ridge Runner]
