Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

see boyo - Wales innit look you.

Need to light the fire beacons on the hills and convey messages.............

[skytrain10]

I'm here...sorry only just finished work.

Taking up the OH......an easy one



Offline for a while but will check back in soon.

[Lightning Mate]

That smells of Cessna - bad news is it ain't.

[Noyade]

Evening Ken.

Kitplane? USA?

[skytrain10]

Not a Cessna - as you surmised David.

Morning Graeme, not a kitplane, but it is from the US

[Noyade]

Looks familiar mate. Does Skylark or Wren have any involvement?

Say.....late 60's...?

Time for a another coffee.

PS...your island is getting smaller?...

It must be in the back of your mind mate....you are close

Say.....late 60's...?

Yes, first flow late 60's but adapted from an older design.

PS...your island is getting smaller?

Missed that news item, but yes, we get a lot of that....more on the east coast rather than the white cliffs - check out Hunstanton in East Anglia.

[Noyade]

you are close

I don't think so mate. The coffee has ignited a few more brain cells and I think the aircraft I'm thinking of, I think, () is an experimental STOL conversion of something with various winglets everywhere. But it was sleek looking and not unlike a Cessna....

[skytrain10]

Ah...this wouldn't fall into the experimental category, and to the best of my knowledge was not subject to any mods such as winglets/STOL conversion etc.

Try another cuppa.....

[Noyade]

I don't think so mate. I'll let you get some sleep.

Besides, Julie is watching the Country Music channel and the music is blaring...I have to get outta the house...

This is in the background...

Toby Keith - Red Solo Cup (Unedited Version) - YouTube

Goodnight mate...

[skytrain10]

Not my sort of music either. I'll be on line a little longer in case you have a sudden flash of inspiration and make the connection with your earlier suggestion

But just in case, good night. Usual rules apply if you think you've got it

Aero Commander 100-180 Lark Commander ?

[skytrain10]

Apologies have been out and about today. Guess no one else around to second Brian's guess. Yes of course it is the Rockwell/Aero Commander 100/180 Lark Commander. Well done Brian - nice to see a mass produced aircraft can keep people guessing



evansb has control

[evansb]

Thank you. Here is the next challenge:

[skytrain10]

Hi Brian...is it the IST XL-15 Tagak from the Philippines?

[Lightning Mate]

Good evening Ken.

I had some fun with Graeme this morning on Challenge and I'm waiting for him to cease .

Excellent call here mate.

[Noyade]

Guess no one else around to second Brian's guess

Well there was mate, but I wasn't 100% sure, and I couldn't find your source. I was even finding some machines from the late fifties that looked similar.

On the other hand, the Tagak - confirmed kill there.

[Lightning Mate]

It seems my wingman agrees.

Hit it Ken.....

[Noyade]

wingman

I fly alone...

[Lightning Mate]

.....then you will die......

fighter pilots look after each other.........
