When you say 'an old one' do you mean it has already featured on this forum [check Mel's wonderful list] or I am I away with the Fairey's?
Anyway it is likely to be evansb's choice.

Before posting a new challenge, you are supposed to wait for confirmation from the original poster of the current challenge. The winner can either post a new challenge, or declare an "OPEN HOUSE".
When you say 'an old one' "1138" do you mean it has already featured on this forum
either way "1138" I can see that you are certainly familiar with the Fairey's...

Gentlemen,
We await Mels' response to the post by evansb #8298.
If he is correct, and I suspect he is, then only he has the honour of posting a new challenge or declaring OH.

Bri (evansb) is correct it is the cockpit of an aircraft in the Bernard 200T series.
.
Exaviator, there are no written rules. However, since this thread was first started, by Mr_Grubby, over seven years ago it has always it has always been accepted that that the honour of posting the next challenge goes to the winner of the current challenge or it my be passed on by the winner declaring "open house".
You have control Bri.
.
Obviously "evansb" there are some "Rules of Play" that I am not aware of, and so far unable to locate. Maybe you could point me in the direct direction!
You have control Bri.

Not a RANS S-7. Mystery aircraft is a much older design. Yes, one strut per wing. Earlier versions of the type which the aircraft is based on had two struts per wing.
Not amateur/kit built. Initially marketed as a civilian patrol aircraft.

It is a tandem seat configuration. Not an Auster. American made. American powered. Developed in the late-1940s from a successful late-1930s design. Entered serial production. Not a great success. Less than 100 produced.

Yes , Mel, you are correct. Based on the venerable model 8 Silvaire, the T8F Observer was marketed as a pipe line patrol aircraft. You have control.
