Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme,

I-spy lamblin radiators!!

Farman F-120 ??

[Karlark]

Is it German?

[Noyade]

Sorry Karlark, it is as Trevor says, the Farman F.120 bomber. David posted the Farman F.120 Jabiru early last year which is quite a different aircraft. I forgot that Trevor solved that one and he has a good memory. Plus I think he has a secret list of Lamblin Radiator equipped aircraft!

Your control Trevor.

Not the Challenge

Ken.

....from a magazine or a book?...don't recognise the format.

Hi Ken. Thought I'd answer that here. From an annual magazine called AeroCrafter. I bought a few of them in the 90's, don't know if they're still around. Largely American content, but what interested me most was the projects or "In Development" section. I've always wanted to use them here but could never find them on the net. I guess the World moved on and they were forgotten? If you're interested I can e-mail some to you or post them here for others to try?...during quiet periods?

eg....

[Karlark]

Thanks Noyade regarding the F.120 information.

I somehow wanted to believe it was related to a DFW Floh or a Linke-Hoffman R1 type of aircraft.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Graeme,

I haven't got a list, but the radiator makes a one word search much easier on Fright global archive (about the only one worth using with its lousy search engine!!)

Sorry mate, this one's not WWII

[Noyade]

Good morning Trevor.

I'm going for an Autogyro GMBH Calidus? Could be a quiet weekend on PPRuNe mate?

IF correct, make it open house. I'll pop back later and re-assess the situation.

Are you working today? God I hope not - between that dog and work do you get any leisure time?

[SincoTC]

Evening Graeme,

That's good enough for me mate, it's the Auto-Gyro GmBh Calidus 09



Noyade has declared Open House

Edit: Morning Ken Weather OK here at the moment, so I may be in the garden!!

Could be a quiet weekend on PPRuNe mate?

Evening Graeme, morning Trevor....I'm around off and on today....planned work in the garden cancelled due to weather!

Graeme, thanks for the info on AeroCrafter and your kind offer to forward on....certainly a new one on me. I'll see if I can find out someothing more about them through my brother in the US.

As its OH:

[Noyade]

That dog looks mean mate. Cujo?
I'm in the bedroom with the T-Hub watching telly.
Slow typing. Observer's close by....
Centre Est-Jodel DR.1050 Ambassadeur?

(Edit - Kicked No. 3 son off MY computer. Given up on watching telly.)

[skytrain10]

Centre Est-Jodel DR.1050 Ambassadeur?

Kind of figured you would go that route. Not a CEA/Jodel but follow that line of thought!

I was thinking the dog looked kind of cute!

[Noyade]

I was thinking the dog looked kind of cute!

That's how they get close...then tear your throat apart. Don't you watch the horror movies mate?

follow that line of thought!

Sooo...French?

[skytrain10]

That's how they get close...then tear your throat apart.

I'm just a softy really! And the throat is still intact...mind you I have one less arm than most people.
Only joking...

Sooo...French?

Wrong line of thought mate But there is a Jodel connection.

[Noyade]

Wrong line of thought mate

I have a lot of wrong thoughts. European? Can I ask how old this is? Put the '61 back on the shelf and reach for.........?

[skytrain10]

Not European....I am pretty sure its not in any Observers book...late 60's kitplane. Based on.....

[Noyade]

Many built mate? Popular? Or a one-off obscurity found only deep in the bowels of a place like...Aerofiles?

[SincoTC]

I was thinking the dog looked kind of cute!

That's what she thinks (or do I mean knows)!! Not at all like Cujo Graeme, you watch too many horror movies mate; thanks for the PM

Sun is out here and the wind is blowing hard, hence lots of connection drop-outs, but it's drying the grass, so I may dissapear to give the lawn its last cut of the year !

Edit: looking at the clues, is it a Falconar F11A

[Noyade]

Trevor.

Suspect you're an engineer?

Bought this today at an antique shop for $8. Fascinating! I now know the dimensions of the hole to dig to trap a tank!

[skytrain10]

Many built mate? Popular? Or a one-off obscurity found only deep in the bowels of a place like...Aerofiles?

Quite a few around, and it is in Aerofiles, but no piccie. I don't think they are still available but I have seen reference to people still building them within the last few years.
