Mel's Challenge

This one will cause no problems although it is not quite what it seems
It does have links with Caproni but this one is not built in Italy. The bait is there LM.

Carson1934 has it it is indeed the Kaproni Bulgarski KB-6.
The Kaproni Bulgarski was an aviation company in Bulgaria, a subsidiary of Italian Caproni, and manufacturer of aircraft Caproni licensed as well as variants designed internally.
The Caproni Ca.309 designed by Cesare Pallavicino, based on the Ca.308 Borea transport. The aircraft was also produced in Bulgaria. That variant, 24 of which were built, was known as the Kaproni-Bulgarski KB 6/KB 309 Papagal (Parrot).

You have control Carson1934.

Hi everybody
I'll try to submit a silhouette within the next couple of hours as I'm packing up my meagre belongings right now (departing for holidays day after tomorrow).
See you soon!

Carson,

Please don't go on holiday and leave this one unanswered.

Methinks Noyade might well be correct.

What's the retiring age in Britain, Mel? We've in the process of increasing ours to 67.
