Afternoon all - looks like I've been missing the fun this morning!

Modified Bristol Bulldog in a wind tunnel by the look of it.

Mr Colditz! Welcome!

Ken, you typed that like "oh...it's just a such and such". I've never seen it before and thought the caption was erroneous!

Your control mate...

Back to silhouettes....

Where I did, but he beat me to it.

Whilst we wait, RD has requested that I post this, which is not a challenge.

In my case a book, but you could just google "RAF serial K3183"

LM knew because he's probably flown it!!

Gentlemen, just a thread diversion: the picture above has been taken by Yours Truly from a Cessna Caravan on a Christmas Eve some years back. Just a pax I was.

So my challenge had a personal point in it.

BTW, the Caravan in question crashed some years later at the airport closest to Angels Falls.

So, an Open House..................

If you've got one David go for it - I'm still researching new challenges so nothing to offer at present.

There is some similarilty to the Aeronca C3, but the tail is all wrong for that. American though?

Good evening - a couple of you are back.

Not Aeronca.

Originally USA but no longer.

Is the a/c flying left or right? What is the thin line behind the wing: antenna or a string of some sort?

It may only be purchased as a kit, but has no connection with Europe.

It is classified as amateur-built.

It is flying from right to left and is viewed from below.

The thin line is a strut.
