Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Noyade]

Evening Ken.

Not an IL-103 and no connection that I can see.

We're shattered mate.

So, is there a dorsal fillet?
Many built?

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken, I had my doubts!!

In that case, how about the Indian Mahindra-NAL C-NM5 ??

[Noyade]

Trevor got it last time.

Then Trevor can have it again.

Your control Trevor (see the previous page mate).

[Noyade]

All, apologies guys, perils of not checking properly.

(Ken, your making us look bad in front of the old people....)

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken, no need to apologise, we've all done it!!

The memory bells began to jangle when I found the photo of the Mahindra, I think Reg posted it and I remember it had a curious "toasting fork" on the wing!!

Your control Trevor (see the previous page mate).

Thanks Graeme, I had missed that!

Another on the way, I guarantee it wont last 'til the new day!!

Ken, your making us look bad in front of the old people

I know. It's funny when I was looking at it I thought it was familiar. I did my usual check of the the lists, by doing a search for NAL, nothing, then NM-5, nothing, then NM.5, nothing. I forgot to do NM5

Incidentally thought you would have got it bearing in mind where it did its first flight....Australia. It's registered owner is Gippsland! Look up VH-XNM

Trevor....I agree, control is yours.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken,

Here's another lamb to the slaughter!

[Noyade]

Looks Polish?

[skytrain10]

I agree Graeme...the wing is very similar to the RWD-8. Unfortunately the rest of the aircraft isn't!

Edit, take that back. I think.it is the RWD-8. Seems its design changes depending on where you look.

If correct will have to be Open House as hitting the hay now.

[SincoTC]

I said it wouldn't last !

Well done Ken, you beat the Wizard to it

It is the Polish RWD.8 it does seem to have quite a lot of variations, this one has beefed-up U/C struts!



skytrain10 has declared an Open house

[Karlark]

'morning all. Here's one for the open house....



I suspect it won't last long.

[SincoTC]

Afternoon Karl,

RWD.6

[Karlark]

Of course it is Trevor.
Your control.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Karl,

[Lightning Mate]

Morning Trevor.

The fin and tailskid are pure Halberstadt, but the cockpit is a long way aft.

I'll shoot for the CL IV.

[SincoTC]

I'll shoot for the CL IV

Good shooting LM, just as we would expect from a true fighter pilot!!

It is the Halberstadt CL IV

Lightning Mate has control

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Trevor - a good start to the day.

A nice old sepia photograph....

[SincoTC]

Is the background original, 'coz it shows British made cars circa 1960 ?

A single seater and British ?

[Lightning Mate]

The background is original apart from the fact that I have brushed out the words on the building.

Single seat but not British, and I'll be very surprised if the cars are.........

Wot you fink the cars are?

[evansb]

The Swedish built BA-4 ?
