Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Nah mate, not that one - check the wingtip planform.

[one11]

I think your last float-plane was a Loughead so I started there first

Well spotted. How about a Commonwealth Wackett Wirraway for yours

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme,

Good to see you back mate, I hope you had a great holiday

I wonder if your silhouette is a Tachikawa Ki-36, Type 98 (Ida) with the fixed gear hidden by the angle ??

[Noyade]

check the wingtip planform.

Sincere apologies. I had a look at the photo I hurriedly silhouetted and it turns out it's a flying replica (not very accurate) of the aircraft I thought it to be...does that make sense?

At least I'm consistent...at stuffing up simple silhouette and cockpit challenges.

Here's a more accurate plan view....



Not Japanese or Australian.

G'day mate.

Busy today so a quick hip shot.

Something from North American?

NA50 maybe......

[Noyade]

G'day David!

Something from North American?
NA50 maybe......

North American. Very similar to the NA-50 but this aircraft had a Pursuit designation...

[MReyn24050]

That could possibly be the North American NA-68 originally for the Royal Thai Air Force.

[Lightning Mate]

Then all I can think of is P64.

Sorry Mel, completely missed your post! The NA-68/P-64.

Your control. But I didn't see your post, only David's P-64.
The NA-68 as I understand it is the P-64.

While waiting I had a quick Google and they seem to use the NA-50/P-64 for the same aircraft when describing the replica?
The source of the photo silhouette says it's a P-64 but that can't be right as it's adapted from a Texan but the internet also says it was built to resemble the NA-50, so as usual I'm somewhat confused.

David has posted a challenge. Mel, are you happy to press on with that?

Oh well....

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Graeme. How are ya?

I'll be back in 50 minutes:

[Noyade]

I'm somewhat confused.

Sorry Mel and David...

How are ya?

Dumb as ever.

[Noyade]

I'll be back in 50 minutes:

The background looks crystal clear, like a modern photo so possibly in a flying museum. First thought was the General Aircraft Genairco...now looking for another thought...

[Lightning Mate]

like a modern photo

It is indeed, but the aeroplane is airworthy and privately owned.

Back again soon (about another 45 mins).

[Lightning Mate]

Now I'm confused!!!!!!!!!

Graeme, in your post 20094 you gave me control. I note that it now gives it to Mel.

Would you both like me to withdraw mine?

[Noyade]

Graeme, in your post 20094 you gave me control.

I did. I missed Mel's post. By the time I corrected it, you nipped back and posted a challenge.

I don't think Mel would mind? Press on? What do you think?

Sorry.

[RegDep]

How about Ford Silver Centenary 1930. Ozzie. Pic one above Genairco. Restored by Rob Felton and Rod Edwards, Rod being the grandson of the designer Selby Ford.

[Noyade]

Nice call Reg....

[RegDep]

Nice call Reg....

Just hitchhiking again. Started looking why would you say first Genairco, and found mine next to Genairco on a list, with the pic that LM had used. Does not need much .

[Noyade]

Still, you did good.

I on the other hand have caused enough confusion/chaos for one day, so I'll bid you goodnight.
Gotta get some sleep so I confuse you all again tomorrow!

Cheers
Graeme.

[Lightning Mate]

Graeme,
I suppose you owe Mel one.

Nice call Reg - the Silver Centenery it is. Nice call.

You have the thread.
