Silhouette challenge

[sablatnic]

Good one.
I considered the KZ at first, but to my knowledge it was just a project, so hunted on. Then again, I knew, that I had seen it somewhere. Should have looked anyway ;-(

[Ridge Runner]

An observation plane project by the looks of it - plenty of glazing and the high tail to keep rear views clear.... no idea though!!! RR

[Noyade]

The web gave me nothing!

I picked up your clue that skytrain10 mentioned and concentrated on Danish KZ products, but Jane's only mentioned the KZ X in 1957 and then for a few years there wasn't even a Denmark section!

[Noyade]

Very crafty skytrain10!
Back to Fletcher before the "dust settles."

The Fletcher FL-23.

[skytrain10]

Spot on!

Just making sure you had done your research on the previous offering!!

Over to you Graeme....

[Noyade]

Just making sure you had done your research on the previous offering!!

Well I certainly tried! Now would you believe this?!...I had an old scrapbook open in front of me with an old Air Pictorial article on the FL-23 when you posted your image!

Now what are the chances of that ever happening again!?



Well, sadly I'm imageless and It's getting late..so.."Open House!"
Cheers fellas!

[Ridge Runner]

Nice!

Curiously I saw N122A, a DC-6 of All American Airways, at Gatwick in the 1970s....

As Noyade declared Open House, here's something a little more unusual:

[SincoTC]

I think it may be the unbuilt? "Model 8 Exectutive" version of the Vanguard Omniplane.

If correct "open house" as I have nothing ready at present!

[Lightning Mate]

Hello SincoTC, and welcome to our world.

I do believe you have won.

So now we wait for Skytrain.....

[skytrain10]

Hi SincoTC and may I also welcome you to the forum. It is indeed the Vanguard 8 Omniplane. This was an experimental ducted fan executive aircraft design based on the Model 2C (the latter did fly...picture below).



As declared, Open House.

[Lightning Mate]

Very occasionally I am up late......

[Lightning Mate]

Mel,

Thank you for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

evansb,

Blimey, you were up later than me!

Correct ID - good call.

It's all yours Mate.

[evansb]

Thanks. The challenge: Six silhouettes shot soaring in the sky over a sea shore.

[dazdaz]

Sea Otter?

[Lightning Mate]

These look twin-engined.

Was not the sea Otter a single?

[evansb]

Sorry, not the single engine Sea Otter.

[dazdaz]

Was there a double? I failed to notice your post of a/c was a twin. Although, I'm sure it's Supermarine.
