Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[RegDep]

A racing version of a fighter? Italian?

[Spit161]

Percival Mew Gull?

[skytrain10]

Not a Percival product...in fact not British, not Italian, not a fighter variant. But a racer...yes.

[skwinty]

Caudron C.450 or C.460 Rafale?

[skytrain10]

Not French skwinty.....head west!

[RegDep]

Northrop Gamma 2G with its original 745hp Curtiss SVG-1570-F4 Conqueror in-line engine.

[skwinty]

Delgado Flash with pants on.?

[skytrain10]

Spot on Reg. Yes, its the Gamma 2G (with its original Curtiss Conqueror engine) designed for the 1934 MacRobertson air race.



RegDep has control.

[RegDep]

Thanks Skytrain!

I probably will not be long enough on-line today to properly monitor a challenge, so Open House. I'll be back in the morning (at the latest).

Identify this mystery design:

[RegDep]

Brian, the small pieces in the (rocket?) exhaust remind me of the graphite pieces that were used to steer the V-2 rocket. Would this be one of the projects of manned rockets derived from, or developed along with, V-2?

"A rocket powered interceptor proposed by Werner von Braun."

Open House if correct.

[evansb]

ReDep is correct. The Von Braun Interceptor. Obvious inspiration for the Bell X-1. As he says, it is OPEN HOUSE.

[skytrain10]

As it's open house, here is a quick one to get things moving:

[skwinty]

HS 125 or BAe 125 ?

[skytrain10]

Morning skwinty....neither of those.

[Ridge Runner]

Dornier 328 Jet?

[skytrain10]

Morning Martin....almost....but you may notice some differences in the rear fuselage and tail. Its modified from the Dornier.

[skwinty]

Morning mate, Emivest SJ30 ?

[skytrain10]

Not the SJ30 skwinty.

[Noyade]

Morning.

Ken was this built recently? Say, the last five years?
