Silhouette challenge

[RegDep]

G'day, good evening gentlemen. Who says that this thread has withered down to just a handful of players? It's a winning hand for sure.

Been down, but only in bed. Flu of the half century (not the Porky one though).

There is one to cheer Graeme up

G'day Reg!

Plenty of Panadol and lemons handy?

Clue...

What do ya call the guy that carries your bags to your hotel room? (not that I've experienced that).

[Lightning Mate]

an adaptation of a single engine aircraft which.......

Would that aeroplane have been used a lot in Canada?

[Noyade]

Canada?

No mate.......

Hang on, did you mean IS this Canadian? No.

[Lightning Mate]

Found it on the makers' site, but all it says is "xxxxxtwin".

Pilatus PC-8 twin Porter?

[Noyade]

Pilatus PC-8?

Your control David!

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks for the clue mate.

Apparently it had stability problems.

Don't go to bed yet - standby for an easier one to keep the ball rolling....

[Lightning Mate]

Strewth - wheressa intake jobber.......

[Noyade]

The designer/pilot was killed on it's first flight.

[Noyade]

Strewth - wheressa intake jobber.......

Guilty.

I selected (from the net) a photo that didn't show the pusher prop very well!

[Noyade]

They would look at me quizzically and say "no, don't have any, sorry".

The only place where I had any success with second-hand aircraft books ( bought some Flight magazines from the 50's ) was the Victorian town of Benalla. I believe Von Braun was born there....
