The thing is though that when I clicked "Submit Reply" I got a message along the lines of "Your post will not be visible until reviewed". A short time later Tu-114's post appeared with no sign of mine.
Is this because of my probationary status? Anyway, here's another...

Toyo TT-10 for your current challenge ?

OK, thanks for that info Doug.

Doug, that's impressive! From a fifties Jane's, I thought that might have been a stumper!

All yours mate.

Noyade ...yes my source was 1950s too , although not Janes.

Seems high wing single prop lightplanes and modern kit-builds have so many look-alikes that at least people have to take time sorting through all the sources, so here is another one of the former...........

No problems here seeing One11's pictures. If you are using Adblock it is worth checking to see if you have pictures from One11 blocked.

Regarding the current challenge, let's start the ball rolling with an Aeronca K.

Somehow this plane makes me look to Denmark... By any chance the Kramme and Zeuthen KZ-VII?

Doug,

It is at this end. I am at work and for some strange reason known only to the IT department they are blocking your photobucket...I can log on to mine and all the other images are appearing on the thread...and as usual the IT guys are out to lunch...

I'll have to wait til I get home before I can play..

one11,

One of the consequences of having been a member of the Royal Observer Corps!

Good and obscure post!

Can I throw it open for the next post?

I'm sorry to jump ahead and I don't mean to disturb your policies but I will be absent on business for several days and I was anxious to challenge this silhouette if somebody can see it.

Am I right in thinking that Noyade's challenge is still open and, therefore, the one to go for?

If so may I suggest the Porterfield 35?

Sorry S'land, not a Porterfield, but it was American. Despite the promising brochure blurb which included the line "The finest light airplane on market regardless of price", only one was built in 1938 and it was eventually donated to a local high school as a vocational airframe.

Is the design related to Luscombe, Monocoupe, or the Howard DGA-6?
