Silhouette challenge

[Ridge Runner]

Its French though?

[skytrain10]

Or Italian possibly? A project or was it actually produced?

[Bradenav]

It's French , and not only a project : It flew ...

[Mechta]

Sikorsky S-45 ???

[Mechta]

Sud-Est SE.200 Amphitrite

[skytrain10]

Struggling on this. It is similar to te SE200/H49 but the tail is flatter and the fuselage more streamlined. The only other not Lat design I have found is the Potez 161....and its definitely not that!

Time to do some more in depth searching!

[Bradenav]

Mechta is right / SUD EST SE 200

Control is yours ,Mechta .

Thanks Bradenav, A good challenge. I couldn't find a picture with that 'MAD Probe' on the back, but there couldn't be too many six engined french flying boats!

Here's the next. I'm afraid its a bit wee. I tried making it larger but it just blurred it:

[one11]

Muscariello ( or Ali Viberti) Musca.

Open house if I've finally got one again.

[Mechta]

It is Open House, as one11 is spot on. The Ali Viberti Musca 1 of 1948.

Morning, tag, bonjour.

I found this interesting piece of kit on the web:

[evansb]

Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) Red Wing ?

[Lightning Mate]

Excellent shooting mate.

Please take the thread.

[Lightning Mate]

I calculate the local time in Lethbridge to be 0345, so we'll have to wait a while for evansb to finish .

Time to get some more challenges sorted out.

[evansb]

Yes, thanks LM. Here is the next challenge:

[Lightning Mate]

Blimey mate - not sleeping well??

[skytrain10]

Hi Bri, hope all is well out west? As you are no doubt about to go to sleep, just one question. From the lack of detail, would this be a project, or did it fly?

[Bradenav]

It looks French ,don't it ?

[trucky04]

The smooth lines give it an Italian feel??

[evansb]

Insomnia is keeping me at the keyboard. Yes, the aircraft did fly. Only three were built. Originally designed as a retractable tricycle gear.
