I made the silhouette from an illustration from what I've now dubbed "The Book of Morten".

Maybe catch Graeme's before he goes to bed, but I have good reason to believe that this is a Junkers S36 !!

Better be OH if he confirms, as I will be too busy in the workshop this afternoon to put another one up

Junkers S36
Well done Trevor, it is indeed the Junkers.

The workshop demands his attention = open house.

To keep things moving try this easy one. Manufacture and designation required:-

Interesting aircraft. It look as as though it is pretending to be something else.

Not a radial and with fixed undercarriage. Some type of racer perhaps and possibly French.

I like your Fokker Mel. I had a quick look late last night and thought it was Russian!

The one above (I think I posted this a long time ago?) is the Max Plan PF.204?

Judging by the panel on the side of the engine cowling it is from Tommy Sopwith's stable. The F.1 Camel perhaps?

Welcome back Mel.

Indeed it is mate, the Sopwith Camel. A new one for your list.

Immediate thought was the Nanchang CJ-6.

So therefore.......from the USA?

NAMC.
I'm thinking that would be Japanese? A Japanese version of the Yak/Nanchang?

I keep seeing the name Haiyan - but I think that's Chinese.

Sorry Graeme I was being too pedantic. You had it the first time it . The photograph was captioned the NAMC (Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company) Haiyan.
NAMC decided in 1985 to undertake a conversion of the CJ-6 basic trainer to produce a multi-purpose agricultural and forestry aircraft. The prototype Haiyan A flew 17 august 1985.

From that shot of the aircraft it could have been either.

You have control

Thanks mate. There is an American aircraft on Aerofiles (I forget the manufacturer) with a designation 225, (I think) which is what I thought it may have been.

Let me know if the cropping is excessive....

No cropping is fine. This one is also American I think.
