I'm going to hand it back to you. I really didn't mean to get involved in posting photos, just couldn't resist answering, since I know the guy who built it.

I'll take that as being an OPEN HOUSE!

Hi! I'd say you're very welcome to guess the challenges but always make it clear that if you are correct it is OPEN HOUSE. That way the thread can move on in your absence..... Stick with us, it is fun and quite an education.

Alternative fighter pilot definition

Hi RR,

First time on since Saturday, it seems a bit quiet and what's that all about from JP !!

Talking of fighter jocks (although he would no doubt dispute the "jock" bit), where's LM got to ??

I think that you're challenge is an Aermacchi MB 323, if correct, then please declare Open House as I've got to get back to work now.

Hi TC,

Not sure about LM. Skytrain10 mentioned some difficulties but no idea what. I hope he returns soon..... It is just too dead at the moment!!! No Graeme (I know why), no W-K, no Teusje, no Sablatnic, no Bradenav, etc, etc...... Having said that we have a new recruit... Strega!!!!

Back to the Challenge. Yes, the MB323. The Aermacchi MB 323 was an Italian two-seater basic trainer aircraft produced as a prototype in 1952 as a contender for a new Italian military training aircraft. However, the Aermacchi MB 323 was not selected and was subsequently never produced.



OPEN HOUSE has been declared!!!!!!!!!

PS: LM might dispute more than that!

Too right, all bar the first of JP's list I would think!!

Newbies: In fact, we've got two new recruits! chazchaz joined on the same day as Strega and both have been pretty active since plus maybe stepwilk too.

I don't suppose WK will be able to compete until LM returns as Dave has been acting as his pRoxy poster recently. As to the others, I guess it must be the holiday season!

Oh well, I'm off now until coffee break tomorrow. Let's hope the evening/night shift shows up and posts something!

Reminds of a Cessna P260 aka C-106 but the wing trailing edge doesn't fit very well.

One11 is correct, of course.

Only about 14 were built before WW2 production took over the factory.

One11, the control is yours.

It's a pity that such an exciting, interesting forum can sometimes grind to a complete, lengthy HALT because people don't use the quote "if correct open house". We must consider that participants live all over the globe within different time zones so perhaps we should consider this Thread as 24/7 and before we 'sign off for bed/work' consider who might still wish to participate. This is in no way directed at anyone in particular and I hope no one finds my comments impersonal or critical.
