Not just one, but three views! By gosh I make'em easy!

You're a better man than me mate!

Curtiss? P-71?

[evansb]

Noyade is correct. Well done The planned XP-71 pusher-prop heavy fighter. You have control.

[Noyade]

Thanks Brian. Hmmm...that photo looks familiar? No.8?

Here's No.5. Sorry, not a silhouette, but the fin is black.

[SincoTC]

G'day Graeme,

Is that an Argus As10 engine ? It also has an Arado looking tail fin, the Histaviation Arado page has a lot of broken links on it, any point in looking elswhere?

[Noyade]

Evening Trevor!

Is that an Argus As10 engine ?

No mate, a Ranger V-770. Not German, don't go there.

Morning Graeme...the Clark Duramold 46 (aka Fairchild 46A)?

[Noyade]

Engine ID help?

You have it mate and control.

[skytrain10]

Engine ID help?

Nope! Just looked like a Fairchild - engine just confirmed it - honestly

Not had a chance to look in until now...busy day. Will prep something before I hit the hay.

[SincoTC]

Thanks for the info Graeme,

I just found this on Fright Archive

1939 | 1- - 0817 | Flight Archive

Says it's the Clark Cabin Monoplane

Edit: Too late it seems, well done Ken (slight sense of relief as I don't have to find another challenge)

Engine ID help?

Not on Aerofiles it didn't; wasted some time there, but it did find it on the F Archive (another one word search)

Edit2: Strewth mate, NZ thread is so slooow: only added about 65 pages in 13 months and we fret when there's not many about

[Noyade]

Thanks for the info Graeme,

Yes, I thought I was talking you! Didn't realise till now Ken answered. A new swooper?

Caption calls No.5 the Fairchild-Clark-Duramold F-46 of 1938.

Time for the electric-blanket mate?

[SincoTC]

Yus mate, off now before it's time to get up again!! I might listen to the match if I can find a streamed commentary, (I always have the radio on anyway so might as well listen to summat interesting between ZZzz's)

Catchya later

Thanks Ken, just in case you're tied up again today, I'll second Karl's answer and say that it's Open House as he requested

[skytrain10]

Thanks Trevor, yes another busy day.
Just to confirm, Karl is correct, the Hongdu (Nanchang) N.5A from China.
Open House is declared

[Noyade]

G'day Ken!

Hongdu N-5
