I'm going outside to mow the lawn (mostly dirt)...

...but your post is important to me. Please leave an answer, and I'll get back to you, once the dust settles.

[Karlark]

The Nieuport 14 looks pretty close...??

Have a good day Graeme and hope you win the fight with your lawn :) - Cheers.

It's not a big lawn. Just wiping the dust off the monitor...

Yes mate! You have it and control is yours. :ok:

[irishair2001]

Noyade , Is it a Nakajima B5N2 Kate

[Noyade]

Hi irishair!

I haven't altered any of the photos apart from "darkening" them and yes, there is a Kate look about a couple of them. But they are all the same type and they are from Nakajima - but no Kates.

[Karlark]

Nakajima Ki-43 or Ki-44?

[Karlark]

Looks like a couple of 84's in there too.

[Noyade]

Nakajima Ki-43 :ok:

That's what I'm after mate - buy yeah, they are an odd looking bunch....

Edit: Challenge withdrawn as I see it on the list under another designation.At the end of the day I don't think it matters a great deal Karl. I'm sure no one minds much. Was it the Fokker XB-8 > XO-27?

Didn't see this either - but it was a quick look....

It sure was :ok:. Don't know what your is above. American?

[Noyade]

Well, I was hoping it would look "brutish" like the American Douglas Skypirate, but it's European and a lot smaller. :)

[one11]

TS-8 Bies from Poland looks a good fit. OH for 10 hours or so if correct.

Hello Carson! Has it got an Argus engine?

[carson1934]

No Sir, the engine was manufactured by a famous still extant car manufacturer of southern Europe....

[MReyn24050]

I believe the manufacturers of this aircraft went on to build helicopters.

edit: never mind. :) Noyade's is the one I was thinking of, and he was there first.

[Noyade]

Hello Karl. However, I think we should be seeing a starboard end-plate from that distance, if it is the turreted Lysander?

[one11]

it is the turreted Lysander

I had a clue waiting about commonality of components with my last one the GAL56 ( Lysander main undercarriage) but you are all too quick off the mark.

BEA Ambassador G-AMAC, perhaps?

[one11]

BEA Ambassador G-AMAC

Confirmed - will watch out for the outlet to the right of the "C" to appear in the "Challenge" thread.

And for the glider ....another General Aircraft product. The Hamilcar.

[Noyade]

Thanks for the Ambassador identification gents. :ok:
Looks like Peck could have been one himself...

Peck revealed that former President (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) Lyndon Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Johnson) had told him that, had he sought re-election in 1968, he intended to offer Peck the post of U.S. ambassador (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador) to Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland)Doug, well done, the Hamilcar it is.

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu98/viscount700/prune131212.jpg

[Noyade]

If in doubt, try to look intelligent, by asking if it's European or from the USA?

:)

[one11]

Hi Graeme it's European

[one11]

Approaching 24 hrs, so clue time. An early product of a designer who went on to create many much more elegant , mainly single engine touring/training, aircraft of conventional appearance for several companies.

Of which this is probably the best known......but you still have to identify the original post as well.
http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu98/viscount700/prune151212_zps4e8f0c9e.jpg

[one11]

Thats the one Graeme. You have control ....hope you can flush out some more competitors.

[Noyade]

Thanks Doug, wouldn't have got there without the "explicit" clues. :)

hope you can flush out some more competitors. Unlikely mate. I'd love to discuss a few ideas over some "pints" with you, but in the end I think enthusiasm for these threads has waned. Still, I'm happy to chip away till the Mods close them.

Hi Graeme,

Is that a 5 cylinder Mongoose engine there in that aircraft?

[irishair2001]

Hi Graham, Is it the Siddeley Siskin ?

[Noyade]

G'day gentlemen. :)

It's an Armstrong Siddeley Genet IIA 5-cyl aircooled radial of 80 hp.

And it's a British biplane.

[Lightning Mate]

Did you get anywhere with my PM mate?

[carson1934]

This is a Makhonine MAK101 of 1935 with Gnome-Rhône K14 engine, french built.
carson1934

[one11]

i have this version as the Mak 123 from 1947 . Actually after posting I found a lot of info on Makhonine designs postaed by Graeme (Noyade) on another forum five years back which also gives this as a 123 ..............but near enough Carson123 so you have control.

LM - yes seen PM - reply to follow.

[carson1934]

http://i46.tinypic.com/15yoic.jpg
Above is my enigmatic contraption (well almost a silhouette).
Concerning the Makhonine I should insist on my interpretation. The 123 has an elongated glasshouse cockpit in addition, hanging at the root of each wing, a voluminous container where apparently the landing gear main legs retracted.
Cheers
Carson1934

[Noyade]

European Carson?

Must be French then? :)

Possibly the Hanriot H-38?

[heshamh]

Thank you Karlark.

....MiG-8? G'day Karl. :) I suspect less well known than the MiG mate. Only one built and and I found only one site on the net where it was shown, where the poor guy who built it is/was trying to sell the project - possibly in the early 2000s. This dates back to the late nineties from the USA and was powered by a 118 hp Subaru engine. It was based on another American untralight from the eighties called the Falcon.

If no luck, let me know and I will reveal this and move on. Cheers.

Another case where you think "nah, it can't possibly look like that from the top" and move fruitlessly onwards.

I went past it I think 3 times last night. This morning I thought "what the heck", Googled it and found your line drawing in a downloadable copy of "Soviet X-Planes".

Open House? Here is one to keep the thread moving:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/Airquiz35_zps33fb2ed0.jpg

Have tried to post several challenges on "What Cockpit" but all could be found doing a search on Google Image. I really think the availability of Google Image is killing off these quiz type threads. Is there a method of blocking such access?

[Noyade]

Good morning Mel. :)

Are we looking forward on the Lockheed Ventura/Harpoon? Are those hurricane whipped palms in the distance?

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6493/img664o.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/img664o.jpg/)

Is there a method of blocking such access? I wouldn't think so mate.

It's hard to beat - I've tried sepia, painting black patches on the corners, various lines across the image (bit rude to horizontally rotate a cockpit image or make it a silhouette :)) but nothing seems to get by it. I've even cropped a net image by 75% and it still finds it. Other than something you have that has never been uploaded I can't think of anything else.

I'm now in hospital I hope you're on the mend mate. :ok:

Cheers.

[Lightning Mate]

Is there a method of blocking such access?

Morning Mel.

It can't be blocked but there is a way to stop it finding images providing you are adept with Photoshop. I have managed it on several occasions. Mind you, if the person trying to identify the image has Photoshop as well, it is possible to undo your efforts.

[MReyn24050]

Graeme, you have it the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura. You have control.

David and Graeme thanks for your comments re-blocking Google Image searches. Someone on line suggested adding a watermark but not sure how one would do that or what effect that would have.

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel. I was initially hunting for Germans.

Of course you could just run with boring old silhouettes - very hard to trace back, especially when they weren't even taken from the net...:ok:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WSH130115.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

That looks like the Fulton FA-2 Airphibian.

[evansb]

LM is correct. :ok: Again! You have control.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate.

This will have to be OH because I'm busy on another thread.

[Karlark]

Here's one for the open house... sometimes flipping the image is necessary to goggle proof the photo...

[Noyade]

Another Junkers mate? The J1?

[Karlark]

Yes, another Junkers. I have this one as a later model. (but not much later).

[Noyade]

How's about the J4 then?

[Karlark]

How's about the J4 then?

:ok: That's the one. Your control, but don't rush one for me, I'm close to :zzz:.

[Noyade]

Thanks Karl, but I'm all Junkered out - Open House for the moment mate. :ok:

[heshamh]

Hi all,

here is anther project.

http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zps53155f0e.jpg

[Noyade]

Fixed gear? European?

[heshamh]

Yes Noyade,

West Europe.

[heshamh]

May be its hard,

so,it was Fokker Ontwerp P.280 jet trainer project.

Open house

[heshamh]

Hi,

a so easy fighter project;

http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zpsf11a6d8f.jpg

[heshamh]

It was from USA

[ICT_SLB]

From the US Naval Institute:
The XF9F-1 was designed as a two-seat night fighter with four wing-mounted turbojet engines, a competitive design to the Douglas F3D Skyknight. Four powerplants were needed because of the low power available in contemporary jet engines. However, the British had developed the far more powerful Rolls-Royce Nene engine, which produced 5,000 pounds thrust and was adopted for the aircraft, now designated XF9F-2.
I thought the oval nacelles were for 2 x twin engines (like the B-45) so my guess is the Grumman XF9F-1. Sorry I don't have anything for a new challenge if I'm right so reluctantly OH.

[heshamh]

Yes you are right ICT,

you have the control.

[ICT_SLB]

Heshamh,
Sorry, as I said in my original post I don't have anything to post and (b) I'm effectively on the night shift for the majority of players (GMT+6) and can't monitor this site during my day as well.
Reluctantly it's Open House.

[heshamh]

OK ICT,

and here is anther one;

http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zps01cf9700.jpg

[Lukeafb1]

Avro Anson??

[Lightning Mate]

That had radials, mostly Cheetahs.

[heshamh]

Not Avro,but was from Europe,and the engines are Gipsy Six II.

[Lightning Mate]

GAL 30 ?..

[heshamh]

Not GAL-30,and also it was not from UK,France,Italy and Germany,and
it was a project.

[evansb]

A Carley designed Koolhoven project ?

[heshamh]

The same country Evansb.

[evansb]

Not too many Netherlands airframe manufacturers to choose from. I'll guess a De Schelde S10 ?

[heshamh]

No Evansb,

it was Van Kuyk Type 20.000;

http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5351.0.html

[heshamh]

Open House.

[evansb]

[heshamh]

Hi Lightning,

English aircraft

[Lightning Mate]

Sorry - not English.

[carson1934]

If I'm not mistaken it's an indonesian amateurish aircraft Wiweko WEL-1 of 1948
carson1934

[Lightning Mate]

Hello carson - long time no see.

You've hit the nail on the head. :ok:

Over to you.

[carson1934]

Thanks Lightning Mate. You're right I was absent from the forum for quite a while but I haven't been top notch as of late.
I'll post a new item shortly....just give me a few hours...

I/we had it on another thread - the Knoll Kn3

[carson1934]

Yes it is the Knoll Kn3....but I had no idea that it was on another thread.....:{
Your turn of course
carson1934

[Lightning Mate]

....but I had no idea that it was on another thread.....http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/boohoo.gif

It wasn't on PPRuNe.

It will have to be Open House.

[heshamh]

I love projects,

so,here is we go;


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zps9cb0778d.jpg

[heshamh]

It was from USA.

[evansb]

Hughes HLH ?

[heshamh]

No Evansb,

a small company,built a small helicopters,but that is different.

[heshamh]

Hi,

here is a partial solution,the name of the designer,Nagler,can you get the
model ?.

[heshamh]

Hi,

it was Nagler/Voljet Model 281,Open House.

[heshamh]

Hi,

here is a too easy aircraft project;


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zpsd96758be.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

RWD 22......

[heshamh]

Yes my dear Lightning,

you have the control.

[Lightning Mate]

Shukran.

Open House.

[evansb]

Not a silhouette, but a drawing of a project:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/WSH130208.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning evansb.

I've seen it before, but can't remember where. :uhoh:

I think it was a project only for a four seat passenger aircraft and was from Europe.

[heshamh]

Hi Evansb,

I know it very well,but I leave a chance to think.

[Lightning Mate]

Koolhoven?

[evansb]

Yes, LM, it is a Koolhoven project designed by Carley.:ok: Model number unknown.
You have control.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate.

I'm away in the morning for a few days, so it will have to be OH.

Cheers.

[heshamh]

Hi all,

I will make it hard,that's a project.


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zps3e0f4b31.jpg

[heshamh]

English Author made this.

[heshamh]

It was a mailplane project from Frank Radcliffe;

1930 | 1461 | Flight Archive (http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1930/untitled0%20-%201461.html?search=frank+radcliffe+aircraft)

Open House

[evansb]

Clean lines. So the author Frank Radcliffe actually designed this aircraft? Really? Perhaps you meant to say the author shared the same name as the designer Frank Radcliffe, B.Sc., A.M.I.A.E, A.R.Ae.S. You had me researching Nevil Shute's bio...


Here is the next challenge: (sorry, not a silhouette)

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/4589927763_6d1da4cdf0_o1_zps2c65f9e2.jpg

[heshamh]

Oh sorry,

you are right Evansb,he was a designer,not author,but where did he
work or what was his company ?.

For the Picture,it was from USA ?.

[evansb]

Don't know the firm Mr. Radcliffe worked for, but yes, the challenge photo was taken in the U.S.A.

[heshamh]

May be it was from Ryan.

[evansb]

Not Ryan. The mystery aircraft was built by a very small company. The company folded during the Depression. Powered by a 5-cylinder LeBlond radial engine.

[evansb]

It is an Overland L Sport. OPEN HOUSE.

[evansb]

I hereby declare this thread as DEAD.

[Lightning Mate]

If it isn't dead then it's breathing very slowly and in need of oxygen and resuscitation!

[heshamh]

It is not dead,I am still alive,

as you know,a project.

[heshamh]

Yes my dear Lightning,

you have the control.

[Lightning Mate]

Unable to participate - Open House.

[Lightning Mate]

This thread is not what it used to be - why is it so slow?

[India Four Two]

Here's one for you LM. What made this shadow?

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/Sil2013-02-23_zps502be7e0.png

To save you some time, it's not on the Internet ;)

[heshamh]

A Stealth design.

[India Four Two]

Or it might be flying very, very low ;)

[heshamh]

I can't recognize it well,

so is it a sailplane or SSBJ aircraft ?.

[India Four Two]

No, it is piston-engined.

[Noyade]

Taken while holidaying in New Zealand Simon? :)

A warbird?

Mustang?

[India Four Two]

Well done. I wondered if someone would put two and two together. ;)

I didn't take the photo, but it's Graeme Bethell's Mustang. A very odd shadow, due to the sun-azimuth combined with photographic foreshortening. A natural for this thread.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/india42/mustang_zps7429f9bc.jpg

Noyade has control.

[heshamh]

Hi,

here is a big challenge,a fighter project.


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zps26568770.jpg

[evansb]

Was this a McDonnell project ? Swept-wing Banshee?

[ICT_SLB]

Evansb,
Have to agree with you - looks a lot like the McDonnell XF-88 but the rear fuselage has a smoother lower profile.

[heshamh]

Sorry for my late,

but it was from USA,and was not from McDonnel,but a small company.

[heshamh]

The project was from middle of 1940s.

[evansb]

A small company, you say. What type of aircraft did they produce?

[heshamh]

Hi Evansb,

a fighter.

[heshamh]

I want go to sleep,

so the aircraft was the Goodyear GA-16 single seat penetration fighter
project for the same competition for XF-88 and XF-90.

Open House.

[evansb]

As Goodyear produced over 5,000 Corsairs under contract from Vought, I wonder if the GA-16 wasn't inspired in whole or in part by Vought designers. I'm not discounting the creative ability of Goodyear's own engineers, but I believe there was probably some influence from Vought in this design. Vought produced some real post-war stinkers, like the Pirate and Cutlass. The GA-16 at least looks like it would perform more than adequately.

Excellent challenge by the way.

[heshamh]

Yes Evansb,

and their aircraft was not successful.

[heshamh]

Anther big challenge,

built and flown.


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/heshamh/1-11_zpsecad6b02.jpg

[seacue]

Perhaps the Bernard 191GR Oiseau Canari

I'll be away for a few hours. OPEN HOUSE in the unlikely event that my guess is correct.

[heshamh]

No Seacue,

I said a big challenge,but from Europe.

[heshamh]

It was a French aircraft.

[seacue]

The Oiseau Canari (Yellow or Canary Bird) was a French aircraft... first French aircraft to fly the Atlantic - I think.

[heshamh]

No Seacue,

a small company.

[heshamh]

The company's name is between F to H.

[heshamh]

It was Guerchais T-6.

Open House.

[heshamh]

Hi,

here is easy project;

Some Oxygen to the thread.

[MReyn24050]

List updated today up to and including 18 March 2013. Unfortunately the Mods in their wisdom have decided that this thread should no longer be a "Sticky". I will endeavour to try to keep it on the same page.

[Lightning Mate]

Morning Mel.

Judging by the speed of the thread these days (last post 8 Mar) you won't be too busy.

[MReyn24050]

Morning David. I fear you are more than correct. Unfortunately Google Image has killed these threads. Some such as the silhouette thread it is possible to combat Google but others it is frustrating finding a challenge only then to find it is easy to identify by the use of Google Image.
