Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[evansb]

Noyade is correct. The unsuccessful St. Louis XCG-5. Well done

Your turn.

[Noyade]

Thanks Brian.

Fire bucket and beer tonight > open house.

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning BE.

[Noyade]

you won't resist a look tonight.....

Sorry mate, plenty of beer and wood.

Looking now....some sort of Culver? Looks odd at the nose?
Another droney thingy?

American?

[Lightning Mate]

Good afternoon Graeme.

Not a Culver.

I will not be able to get back on thread for ten hours, so to be fair to everyone I am withdrawing the challenge. You take it mate.

[Noyade]

I will not be able to get back on thread for ten hours

Well, it's your call mate, but it's fast approaching 2100 hrs here and I'm on an early shift tomorrow, so I estimate I won't be back for....19 hours. I wouldn't let time interfere with your challenges in the future - very few are watching/playing lately. I'm a patient guy.

See ya then, then.

Here we go....

[Noyade]

Actually, it probably doesn't need to be that black. The original was dark enough...



Night.

Looks a little Pembroke/Sea Prince or perhaps more logically, a Prince 3E?

[Lightning Mate]

Good call Ken.

Wish I had been around when it was posted.

I think you should take control - a seconder might be a long time pitching up.

[skytrain10]

Thanks David. Initially I thought the nose was all wrong, but of course its blocked by the starboard engine. Rest of the aircraft certainly looks right, and Shell operated a number of Prince's, so hopefully I'm right

As you say I don't think I'm going to get a seconder, so here goes:

[Ridge Runner]

Hi!!!! Interweb at home!!!!!!!!!

Seconded!!

Is the latest an Italian?

RR

[skytrain10]

Interweb at home

Excellent

Not Italian Martin, but it is a European design

[Lightning Mate]

Pizza and Chianti ?

[skytrain10]

Pizza and Chianti? Sounds a nice idea mate, but nothing to do with the challenge

[skytrain10]

Apologies all but have to withdraw the challenge as we've had it before. It's the ICAR Commercial from Romania (aka BFW M.36).

I'll therefore take the liberty of posting another one - this was my previously withdrawn challenge from last week:



Closing down soon so usual rules apply

[Noyade]

Good call on the Percival Prince.

this was my previously withdrawn challenge from last week:

Hi mate. From memory, built in 2000 and not a homebuilt/kitplane?

[skytrain10]

Evening Graeme

From memory, built in 2000 and not a homebuilt/kitplane?

Your memory is good - although built in the 2000's - not specifically 2000.

Thanks regarding the Prince

[Noyade]

Your memory is good

Not really David, I mean Ken.

And from memory we dispensed with the Aerotec idea, but I'm wondering if it could be non-European and non-USA?

[skytrain10]

but I'm wondering if it could be non-European and non-USA?

Good idea to wonder like that You should perhaps look a little closer to home

[Noyade]

closer to home

The Whitney Boomerang?
