RR,

The answer was on the pic mate.

Should have gone to SpecSavers or sent it to me first

Would it have looked better like this?.....

We seem to be tripping over ourselves. sablatnic's aircraft, which I appreciate is not a silhouette, is the , Monsted-Vincent MV-1 Starflight.
Was it intended as a challenge?

You are right. Didn't notice till you said so. Wasn't sure till I messed it up a bit.

Handasyde Light Monoplane. Don't know if it ever did get a proper name. For the Lympne trials 1923?

That is the one. As I understand it the Handasyde was not given a civil registration and its ultimate fate is not known. The aircraft was painted in the Handasyde racing colours of yellow and grey. The Aeroplane editor C.G. Grey thought the aircraft was something to do with the Wills cigarette company and from then on the monoplane was known as Goldflake

You have control.

Thanks MReyn24050!

Those 3views? Do you did you get them? out of a book? They are much better than the ones in the 1923 Flight!

I will have to find something for the night shift.

Not a book but a magazine.

Which magazine, if I may ask. The Aeroplane?

And for the night shift. Good night!



It seems that I cannot attach pictures in opera. Had to start Firefox. Or is it just me?

Tough one evansb. Could it be italien. Caproni something?

Don't hate yourself, Ridge Runner. My guess is, that Lightning Mate was the only one to notice.

Not a Couzinet. Yes, it is Italian. Only one was built.
