Silhouette challenge

[Ridge Runner]

Does it actually have transparent wings or is it the way you've editted it?

[Lightning Mate]

Yes, it does.

All I have done is darkened the original, nothing else.

Wanna nuther clue. Just ask.....

Good morning skytrain.

[SincoTC]

Morning all,

Is it a Rumpler C.III ?

The C.I appears to more of a sesquiplane, I don't think they buit any II's and the C.IV had elliptical tips on the lower wings. I think that one III had a different engine fitted for an altitude attempt.

Helluva day yesterday, couldn't get any free time at all.

Back to work now, so OH in the unlikely event of it being correct!

Morning LM...it looks like a Rumpler, but the engine is wrong....something from AEG?

LM, please check you email.

[Ridge Runner]

Talking nonesense but is it an Aviatik?

[Lightning Mate]

e-mail received Mate - thank you.

The challenge is not a Rumpler or AEG or Aviatik.

You all know it's German, so all you have to do is add something as per:

Germanxx.

[skytrain10]

Something from Germania....?

[Ridge Runner]

I'll throw it is for good measure.. a Dornier?

[Lightning Mate]

That's good enough for me.

The Germania C1.

All yours.

[Ridge Runner]

I looked up Germania C1 and got this!!!

[skytrain10]

Thanks LM....your clue gave me the name, but the tough bit would have been the model number..I had ruled out Germania largely based on photo's of aircraft I could find! Not really sure I deserve the "win".

Ok, stand-by.......

[Lightning Mate]

I posted what I believe is the only photograph of it, from Breguets'.

PM RR, and e-mail for you skytrain.

[skytrain10]

Nice one LM.....will have to investigate Breguets further!

Nice easy one....


Clock is ticking!

[Lightning Mate]

Now that really does look British.

[Ridge Runner]

It looks DH but I bet its not, I bet its Italian!!!

Actually I'll withdraw that - Japanese?

[Lightning Mate]

It certainly ain't a DH, but I was looking at the engines.

Looks like a two-seater as well.

[skytrain10]

British, Italian, Japanese...where to next? You're wrong on all 3 counts though!

[Lightning Mate]

Doesn't look armed, more like built for speed.

Civilian I bet.

[Ridge Runner]

I suspected as much! I'd suggest central European, maybe Yugoslav or a Czech? Give me time to look around over my lunch!!!!!

RR

[skytrain10]

Doesn't look armed, more like built for speed.

Civilian I bet.

Wrong on both cases!

Looks like a two-seater as well.

Wrong again!!

Yugoslav or a Czech

Neither of those
