Silhouette challenge

[one11]

As its been quiet for a bit, how about....

[Tu.114]

There is a little similarity to the Supermarine 224... is that coincidental or was it built to the same spec F.7/30?

Tu.114

[S'land]

Bristol 133?

[one11]

S'Land has it - and control

[S'land]

Many thanks one11, an interesting challenge. I always thought that the Bristol 133 looked more French than English, probably because of the gull wings.

Here is the next challenge.

[one11]

Nord Norecrin - with an accent on the e!

[S'land]

Bloomin' 'eck, that was quick. It is indeed the Nord 1203 Norčcrin one11.



You have control.

[one11]

How about this one ...................

[diesel addict]

Gloster F9/37 - Peregrine engined version in lieu of Taurus.
Was it built to the same spec as the Whirlwind ?

If correct - Open House

[one11]

Was it built to the same spec as the Whirlwind ?

Apparently the Whirlwind was earlier, to F.37/35 , although it superficially looks a more advanced design.

Open house now.

[Tu.114]

May I?

[S'land]

Nitkin-Shevchenko IS-2?

[Tu.114]

Sīland,
yes, itīs the foldable fighter. An innovative attempt to get the speed of a monoplane and the field performance of a biplane. Flaps are SO last year...

Back to You.

[S'land]

Thanks Tu.114.

Here is the next one.

[Tu.114]

Grumman G44?

[S'land]

Hmm, I see what you mean, but no. It is not a Grumman product.

[barit1]

Clearly related to this one

[S'land]

You had me worried there barit1, I thought that I might have used it already. I can see what you mean, but they are not only different boats, they are also from different countries. The old challenge was a Honningstad from Norway and had sponsons instead of floats.

[fire-fox]

it's not a Beriev is it (sorry carnt remember the model, but sure there was one like that)

[S'land]

Sorry, not a Beriev product either.
