Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
Surely ther's no way the French could have designed something that revolutionary in 1918.
Going home - back shortly.

Well, you haven't said it's not French!. The tail designs reminds me of something Nieuport produced - but sadly the rest of the aircraft doesn't match
. Time for a closer look.

Evening Gents

First look of the day, playing catch-up for trip away, sorry for no-show yesterday but sodding Internet at home went down Sunday morning and don't know when it'll be back up
David, I think that's a Stout Batwing, but it'll have to be OH if it is 'coz of above problem, sorry.

Oh well, no overnight takers and as suspected no home Internet yet. At work now so I'll take my OH back, I'm gonna be busy today and that may make monitoring difficult as I've got a couple of longish meetings, however I'll do my best, but and I'll turn my light off if I know I'll be unable to monitor for a while, so let "usual rules" apply if seconded 
To quote LM, this should be another easy one, it's not on Mel's list in any of it various designations, a one-off special version of it is on the list, but that had obvious visual differences!

Morning all. Interesting one Trevor...there are not that many light aircraft around with parallel underwing struts. Off the top of my head I can only think of 4 or 5 makes. American....a Funk design?

Must admit I couldn't find that photo David after searches for the 31-42...the source I was using just referred to Pacemaker, with the 31-40 and 31-42 as Pacemaker's. I see they are referred to in Aerofiles as Pacemaker Senior's. The JE-1 military variant also fits the bill.
I can't get into Photobucket - I think the site is down.
I've stored the image.
Can you try and see if you can get in ?
If you Google Bellanca Senior Pacemaker it's down on line 11.

Hi Guys,
My source has it as the The Bellanca "Senior Pacemaker" Transport Monoplane (420 h.p. Wright R-975E-3 engine).
So it looks like David got there first
I believe David also put up the one-off Special large-winged Packard-Bellanca Pacemaker last year.
Lightning Mate has control (or maybe not) see my new post on next page!!

I cannot accept that mate.
Ken did the work and took me to it, so with respect I think it should be his.
edit: in any case I cannot access Photobucket.
