Hi Mel,
I think you are mistaken. My posts #1877/78/79 are blanks while I was trying to put images thru.
I never placed a challenge for the Norecrin.
By the way sofar I didn't succeed in transmitting images though I followed your instructions to the letter.
I will seek advice from a friend of mine who is a real expert in PC, in the meantime I will just watch your threads and learn a thing or two.
Ciao

Not sure what the problem is carson as I was able to see all three images that you posted. Please check your PMs.

Actually found a real silhouette this time, although I suppose to be pedantic a real silhouette would only show the outline.....................Doug

[drawbarz]

Doug,

Could it be the FFVS J22...?

John

[one11]

Indeed it is. Back to you Drawbarz

[drawbarz]

Thank you...

How about this one...

[skytrain10]

PZL-106 Kruk?

[drawbarz]

Skytrain 10 you have control

Ken's challenge

Thanks John...here's one for the night owls to consider.

[skytrain10]

Time for a clue....this is one of the earlier amateur build aircraft from this particular European country.

[S'land]

DAR-21 Vector from Bulgaria?

[skytrain10]

S'land, not the Vector and not from Bulgaria.

[skytrain10]

It's very quiet so I guess more clues are in order.

Albeit a homebuilt design the aircraft was manufactured by a division of an aircraft company that was founded in 1918. This aircraft first flew in 1979.

[carson1934]

Is it german? Arado maybe?
carson1934

[skytrain10]

Carson1934, not an Arado or German product.

As its still rather quiet, another clue....the prototype aircraft visited the UK for the first time in 1983 where it attended an international fly-in.

[S'land]

As so few are biting let me try the Ssimunek Kamaryt FK-1?

[drawbarz]

Is it the Czechoslovakian Letov SK-1 Trempik...?

John

[skytrain10]

Well done S'land and Drawbarz. It is indeed the Ssimunek Kamaryt FK-1. Designed by Messrs Ssimunek and Kamaryt but actually built by Letov who used the name SK-1 Trempik. It made its appearance in the UK at PFA International Rally at Cranfield in 1983. It still flies today.

I would have accepted either name, so S'land, as you were first, you have control.

[S'land]

Thanks skytrain10. If I might say so that was a pig of a challenge (challenge being the operative word in this case), I only found the answer by accident. Well done.

Here is the next one.
