Thanks Noyade. Below is a picture of the X-18 tilt-rotor in transitional flight mode.



My offering to follow shortly.

Here's we go...apologies for quality.

[carson1934]

Is it Miles?

[skytrain10]

Carson, no, not a Miles (nor a UK) product.

[Afblijven]

My gues is for the Yun-An-1 from the PRC. It may be known under different names (Red Banner 1 etc.).

[Afblijven]

I correct myself. The Yun-An No.1 and the Red Banner are not the same.
I believe the the 3-view depicts the Red Banner (Hong-Chi No.1) as it has V-shaped wing struts and small struts on the horizontal tailplane, whereas the Yun-An No.1 had single struts and cantilever tailplane.

Appears to be a near-copy of Edgar Percival's design. No tail wheel?

[carson1934]

I was thinking like Evansb of a Lancashire Prospector but evidently it isn't as this is not an UK product....still in the darkness for the time being

No tail wheel?

Good observation. It certainly had one so I wonder why they left it off the line drawing?

[skytrain10]

Been traveling this morning so only just catching up.

It is indeed the Red Banner No1 (ie Hong Chi No1), so Afblijven has it. Well done.

And welcome to the forum...it is customary for the winner to set the next challenge...so over to you Afblijven.

Mel,

Your first post, 23 June 08 gave age as 70.
Your post today gives age 70.

Nice to be correct with the Red Banner 1. Please note I changed my forum name to Walter-Karl (Walter was already taken).
As I am in the middle of reorganizing my papers (meaning emptying the shoe boxes and putting the papers in other shoe boxes) please consider it OPEN HOUSE. My turn will come again
Best regards, Walter

[Lightning Mate]

Open House!
Then downwind, in hot.

[OBAman]

Caudron, but which one? I'll go 760

[skytrain10]

Beat me to it OBAman, but yes, I would go for the CR760..Ken

[Lightning Mate]

Sorry gentlemen, but not the 760. A Caudron though.

LM

[one11]

How about a 714 ?

[MReyn24050]

Not quite sure why the difference, I certainly was 70 at my birthday in May.
