Silhouette challenge

[S'land]

Still no takers? Here are another couple of clues.

The engine was a 100hp Hispano-Suiza 6Pa. When the first prototype proved to be underpowered the company improved it and used a 120hp Lorraine 5Pc unit. This new model was still underpowered and the project was abandoned.

Sab Db 80?

Morning everyone! Still no idea.. just to say hi! RR

I would say that LM has hit the nail on the head.

As Mel says, Lightning Mate has hit the nail on the head, it is the SAB DB 80. Designed by the firm of Dyle et Bacalan as a Mail 'Plane, it as one of the last to bear the DB designation as they were taken over by SAB. However, this project continued under the DB name.



Over to you sir.

P.S. Afternoon to you too RR.

[Lightning Mate]

Good evening gentlemen.

Thank you kindly S'land.

Knowing my luck this will not last long.....and it took ages to draw.....

Hi LM! A Fairey product I'm guessing..... Unfortunately I have to dash so I can't look it up! Good luck.. RR

Hi LM. Do biplanes make the job harder? This one looks like the Letov S328.

[Ridge Runner]

Mornin' all! Yes, Noyade, you look to be right. My initial thoughts were way off! Ah well..... Looking forward to the next one.... RR

[Lightning Mate]

Good afternoon/evening Noyade.

"Do biplanes make the job harder?"

It's all the detailing like the struts etc.

It is indeed the Letov S328.

Over to you.

[Noyade]

Good afternoon/evening

Thanks LM. Yeah, the time zones tend to throw me at times. Unfortunately I can't respond to posts until approximately 1600 HRS tomorrow (18th), so if the answer is obvious, just frog-jump me and press on regardless.

[Lightning Mate]

Now that looks oh so familiar.....

[sycamore]

Great Balls of Fire ,Ryan.... OH if it is ..

[Lightning Mate]

Methinks not a Ryan Fireball.

[Walter-Karl]

Maybe the Kaiser-Fleetwings XBTK-1 ?

[Lightning Mate]

I think it may be an aeroplane which was in competition against the Kaiser.

Curtis XBTC-1 (model 96) ?

[Ridge Runner]

oo er.... I think LM was referring the to aircraft type. See WK's post... RR

[Lightning Mate]

er....has a post just evaporated?

[skytrain10]

Been absent for a while due work commitments...

I would agree with Walter-Karl, the Kaiser-Fleetwings XBTK-1.
