Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Is that the same as the Socata Rallye ?

[skytrain10]

Hi Martin...sometimes its worth the risk of going with the obvious....I was hoping everyone would think it was TOO obvious, but yes, its the MS880B Rallye



RR has control

Edit to say, LM, just seen your post...this particular one is the MS Rallye but would have accepted SOCATA....but RR was there first.

[Ridge Runner]

it certainly is

[Ridge Runner]

Thanks Ken. I'm afraid its an OH from me again

[Karlark]

I just happen to have one ready to go;

[skytrain10]

Good morning Karl....unusual looking...twin engine?

[Karlark]

Good morning Ken. Yes, twin radials.

[Ridge Runner]

It looks like it from the land of snails and Sauternes!! ?? RR

[skytrain10]

Thanks Karl...the tail looks like it came off a C-119!

[Ridge Runner]

was it built and did it fly, Karl?

[Karlark]

Not French, not from that side of the pond.... it has a nose mounted gun turret.

Edit: RR, one was built and flew.

[Karlark]

And to be not so cryptic with the clue, US Navy prototype!

Hall Aluminium XPTBH-2?

Hall Aluminium XPTBH-2

It it is, it is a repeat……

[skytrain10]

Not on the list Reg, or was it a recent one?

[RegDep]

Not very recent

Hall Aluminium Aircraft Corporation XP2H-1 193, page 232, post 4622, 26/11/2009

Aaaa, that is not the same. My apologies .

[skytrain10]

That's on the list, but it was a 4 engine biplane! This current challenge is 2 engine and high wing!

[Karlark]

There were a couple of Halls on the list, but I did not see this particular one.

Skytrain has control!

[RegDep]

Yes. A pusher-puller, was the 2009 one .

[skytrain10]

Nice challenge Karl...
