Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

G'day mate.

Never seen anything like that!

Was it Russian?

[Noyade]

Heeeeeey...David! How are ya mate?

No, sorry mate not Russian.

[Noyade]

Never built. You know what that means don't ya....?

The dreaded project!

I personally hate projects, too many of them...

[Lightning Mate]

I'm fine - at least I was until you posted that!

[Ridge Runner]

I think it was a yank? Martin design?

Hey, how come you "expected" me to solve that? Something I'm missing?

Because you seem to have a great "library" of WW2 types, or maybe that's my perception?

[Lightning Mate]

Are you being spoofed by the image properties?

[Ridge Runner]

Actually I normally don't check those things. In this case maybe Graeme's being sneaky?

[Noyade]

BTW, if you want to see the whole show, you can see it here:

Thanks for the informative post Sinco! I dabble in wood turning but the concept of metal tearing into metal scares me.

Ever heard of BorgWarner?

Martin design?

Quite possibly influenced by the Martin flying-boats mate but honestly have no idea. Not a yank.

[Noyade]

Because you seem to have a great "library" of WW2 types,

Ahhh..I see. Tis a myth mate!

[Ridge Runner]

OK, I would then say that it is either Jap or a SARO design? Not sure which!

[Noyade]

Neither.

A country famous for pasta and pizza.

[Noyade]

The manufacturer, from the country of pasta and pizza, made a large 4-engined bomber during WW 2. Narrows it down...?

[Noyade]

( Turboprop version)

[Ridge Runner]

Bloody hell, an Italian! It looks good but, you know my philosophy regarding that nation ......... Nice girls though!

i guess it was Aeritalia, then?

[skytrain10]

Evening Graeme...a Piaggio design maybe?

[Noyade]

Aeritalia

Nope.

The manufacturer, made a large 4-engined bomber during WW 2.

And a sleek twin pusher called the Avanti...in the 80's.

[Noyade]

Evening Graeme...a Piaggio design maybe?

Sorry Ken, yes. I missed your post right at the bottom....no offence intended, I wasn't intentionally ignoring you!

[Noyade]

A dud challenge? Happy to reveal and end it, just say the word as I won't be around tomorrow.

[SincoTC]

Evening Graeme,

It seems like Ken's gone offline and my coffee break's a little delayed this morning!

Your latest looks like the Piaggio P.155 SAM-1

It'll have to be another Open house at the moment, as I'm back at work now.

Glad that the Top-Gear link was useful and yes I have heard of BorgeWarner. Our machines are pretty safe as they're all fully guarded and interlocked.

[Ridge Runner]

and, yes, I'm a dunce .....

i guess it was Aeritalia, then?
