Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Off we (I) go again then...............

edit: Was it German?

I ask that because I have found something the description of which appears to match the image. It refers to a Dietrich.

[SincoTC]

Back on watch!

Not German, but it was operated by them!

[sabredog]

Possibly an RWD-8 ?

[Lightning Mate]

Impossibly I would say, because that had sweepback.

[SincoTC]

Not by RWD sabredog

[Lightning Mate]

After three hours of going around in circles, TC, I think I'll bail out of this one and hope that the night shift might appear.

I'm fairly sure it was from Eastern Europe as we know it.

Sleep well mate.

[SincoTC]

It was European, bordering on, but not Eastern!

Sleep well LM

Evening Trevor. From the clues I'm guessing Austrian. So how about the Hopfner HS9/32?

Edit to say, if correct will have to be OH as calling it a night (early start tomorrow)
Good night

[SincoTC]

Hello Ken and goodnight, sleep well

It is indeed the Hopfner (Hirtenberg) Hs 9/32

My dear Ridge Runner,

please tell us what was this twin boom aircraft ?.

[Karlark]

Here is one to consider for the OH:



I also am curious about the twin boomed one that RR posted, HHH, We have had plenty of time to identify it with no success!!!

Edit: Usual rules apply.... US aircraft... .

[SincoTC]

Good morning Karl

I've gotta be in and out all day so not much time to trawl

Is your challenge a single seat racer? late twenties/thirties?

I'd call it a mid-wing but most racers are what I'd call shoulder-wing.

Maybe the Cessna CM-1 aka MW-1 (Reg X9860)??

I doubt it's that, as all I can find with a quick search is a photo of a kit and I don't think you'd say usual rules if there wasn't many photos on the web!

Gotta go now, try and get back later.

[Lightning Mate]

If Aerofiles is correct, then I reckon it's the GC-2.

[SincoTC]

Back in for a few minutes and had a proper look at Cessna and it looks like it's the Cessna GC-2 ?

Gotta go again, so OH if confirmed or seconded as I'm not sure when I can get back

Edit:

Morning again David, I will second that mate, (I didn't look far enough down the list)

I just found Karl's piccie here, so I'd say it's your thread mate

[Lightning Mate]

I think you did all the work mate - I just stole it.

I do not accept the win.

[SincoTC]

I do not accept the win.

Oh well, gotta keep things moving (I'm still in and out for the rest of the day, but will try to monitor from other computers when I can)



Edit: to pre-empt the inevitable question as it not obvious from the silhouette issa two-seater

[Lightning Mate]

No questions Your Honour.

Leopoldoff Colibri G-AYKS.

[SincoTC]

Leopoldoff Colibri G-AYKS

Correct in every detail



Lightning Mate has control! Catchya later

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks TC.

Whatever you are doing (work I suspect) please get back soon.

Since your previous to last challenge was a parasol, I would like to reciprocate.

[SincoTC]

I'm back

That looks familiar!

Edit:

Ah, the Aviatika MAI-223 and the reason it looks familiar is 'coz it's been up before. I put it up for it's second appearance and my excuse was that it was too fresh to have been on Mel's list (Pages 1230 and 1244), so what's yours?
