Good afternoon all!!
That sounds like a good plan LM!
However, my b
g connection is next to useless at the moment and keeps dropping every minute or so making searching very frustrating. Will be shifting house again this evening so will be better then!

You can say that again mate! It's been like it for a while but has got significantly worse since the high winds, just let them insist that it isn't a line problem!!
There can't be that many Americam biplane/triplane "sisters", so I'll take a quick punt at the Boeing Engineering Division GA-2 ? Dunno if we've had the GA-1/GAX Tripe and the piccie in Aerofiles isn't Reg's view, but the tails the same shape and there's a thingy on top of the engine cowl.
Third attempt at posting this! I copy my post to the clipboard 'cos if the con drops it's gone when I get back
Don't worry Reg, I'm sure LM was referring to my intermittant broadband connection, not your comments!

TC, yes, we have had Boeing GA-1 in August 2010. LM posted it and Skytrain busted it in two minutes. This is the biplane Boeing GA-2. Piccie is not from Aerofiles 
All yours!
All yours!

Thanks Reg,
Oh bugger!! Well the wind has dropped a bit and the line seems a bit more stable, so I'll try and get another one airborne. Sorry LM, It'll have to be one of yours again!
Gorrit, got a con to PB!!
Edited to say, Just taking dog for a walk (chasing leaves really), back in less than an hour

TC I wish my memory were better and I'd remember what I was looking for when every other aircraft that I found looked exactly like your challenge

LM, seen my edit above?
Reg, I thought that it looked too similar to Mel's Welch challenge that you got the other day, which is why I put the Stal up out of order! You'd better go and check out all the ones you rejected to find that Welch

OK, so you maybe don't want to go back to check like I said and I agree that they do all look similar!
Well, this one hasn't got a pesky little flat twin: it's much bigger than that, but speaking with my engineer's hat on, it's very very much bigger than its name implies!
I found that one with the 2-cyl engine

Engine. Sure. Had that in mind. Just saying that my experience with the Welsh was on hunting for a 2-cylinder thing. And Aerofiles.
Need to call it a day now. Nite. Seeyall tomorrow.

Sorry Reg, I have been offline for half an hour.
You won't find this one by the engine, or on Aerofiles, in fact the only use of finding the engine is that it's from the same country as the Challenge aircraft, which should help a lot!
