Evening Ken,

It looks like it may be a Gotha-150 ??

Edit, Oh bummer!! And I'm not referring to the Ameican President

G'day Graeme, looks like a good call to me

You're sorry I got there first? Well that's a fine thing...

Unfortunately, I still have some American silhouettes but hopefully Trevor the Aerofile Code Cracker has gone to bed, and hopefully you're not as good a Cracker as he is.

Hi Graeme....looks like the Palomino from 1965?

Edit to say, calling it a night now, so if I'm correct it will have to be Open House.

Good night

A'rtnoon Ken,

Just checking for any responses after coffee, your look-in was a productive one, it is indeed the Bleriot 195

A one-off Long-range mail plane that was changed to a float-plane and then back again.

Blériot 195 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Afternoon David. More of a one-off really. Not listed as a LSA, although it would have predated that category anyway.

Yes. 1990's.

Morning Graeme
American?
Yes, but it's not in Aerofiles.
Not designed as a racer although reasonably fast...just over 190 mph.
Looking in more detail I see the design originated in the late 1980's although it did not fly until the early 90's.
