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
carson

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

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, 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.

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.

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.
