Blimey,

This could end up as the longest running "non challenge" ever.....

If you knew the answer Richard, this would be a great challenge.

Walter Karl please phone home.

Hi Guys,

Just to add fuel to the fire...

aircraft in the background look like He111...maybe CASA built?

undercarriage on the arcraft in question looks like Percival Procter.

could it be a more recent picture (1960s) of one of the Procters dressed up as Stukas for the BoB movie..?

Regards

John

Doubt it - I'm the sly sod who has done that before.

This is not a challenge either, but let's keep ourselves entertained while we wait:

Life's a funny thing. Only very recently I thought I'd use that image for a challenge but then decided against it believing that it would go in a snap having so many European members on the forum. Instead I decided on making a front line view challenge of the same sircraft...but never got a chance to use it.





Both depict the SPARMANN P-1.

I'm sure that was an irritating AviaQuiz challenge some time ago?! Tupolev?
I'm not going to hunt it down!

Pretty good thanks Ken. Yourself? Is Brown in or out? I didn't realise voting isn't compulsory over there, it is here. Judging by tonight's news there was an unexpected turnout of voters that couldn't be accommodated?

Thanks David! Hope this goes quick as I'm not around tomorrow...
