Silhouette challenge

[RegDep]

I'm around but for the most part prohibited to sit in front of the screen by The R.H. Missus.

Technical question for the thread: Drones out-of-season here?

Nope, it's all fair game here mate except models.

Not a lot. Might vacuum the Merc and polish it. Might vacuum the Merc and polish it.

The life you lead, eh? You fly boys!!!

[Lightning Mate]

....and I see you edited your post.

[Lightning Mate]

Is the challenge the Ion 100?

Either that or the 120.

[Ridge Runner]

Tyres down... off out with the scythe now (its what us poor people use!)

[skytrain10]

Close enough LM, its the Vulcan Ion 110:



You have control.

[Lightning Mate]

Just for you RR



Thank you skytrain. Please standby.

[skytrain10]

You missed a bit!!

[Lightning Mate]

skytrain,

What got me about your silhouette was the jobbie between the mainwheels.

Now I see that you silhouetted a green field as well...............

You missed a bit!!

Wot?

[Lightning Mate]

An easy one for Saturday afternoon:

[RegDep]

Sukhoi Superjet-100

[Lightning Mate]

OPEN HOUSE

[Lightning Mate]

The easy ones go too fast.



PS sorry about the wheels - rush jobber.

LM, incidentally your comment:

Now I see that you silhouetted a green field as well...

Suggest you take another look....that "greed field" is part of the aircraft. Here it is from another angle:



And as for your motor....check that door...looks like bird poop to me!!

[skytrain10]

Tell me this is not from Breguets!

Is this pre-WWI?

[Lightning Mate]

And as for your motor....check that door...looks like bird poop to me!!

It's not actually my motor. Just an image of exactly the same vehicle, because the photo of mine is somewhere on a portable hard drive which I can't locate.

Apologies about the "fuselage jobber".

My challenge is indeed pre-1918 and no, it's not from Breguets you will be pleased to know.

American.

[skytrain10]

Well, been through Aerofiles without any success.

Now going through my books.

[skytrain10]

Found it...and guess where....Breguets! Its in Aerofiles but I had ruled it out on first inspection as in the picture they had used the cockpit area bore little relation to the silhouette. I guess the aircraft was modified somewhere along the line.

Anyway its the Laird Baby Biplane....at least I hope it is!

Here's the picture I found in Breguets.
