Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Karlark]

Did I miss it looking through Miles or Boulton Paul aircraft?

No picture but one of the Miles M-18's was tricycle gear for a while...??

[Noyade]

Did I miss it looking through Miles

Yes you did mate. Go to the wiki site - see the list - 10th from the bottom.

[Karlark]

Ah, M.64 it appears . You should have let me chase my tail for a little longer, I was having fun.

Gotta run. O.H... I'll see if I can find anything for later tonight.

[Noyade]

M.64

Well done Karl. Adios mate!



Open House.

[evansb]

Identify the aeroplane:

[Noyade]

G'day Brian.

Looks like the LFG (Roland) C.II...?

[Karlark]

'evening Brian,

Is it an LFG Roland C.II "Walfisch"?

Edit: Graeme got me again by a minute
Well done

[Noyade]

Note the big fat knuckle above (no, not you Karl!). Still sore, but it's come a long way since September...

[Karlark]

Yikes!

I do have a couple knucklehead kids... they are nuts that didn't fall far from the tree!

[Noyade]

is that your hand? Bicycle accident?

Yes. Getting too old for the mountain bike mate.

[Noyade]

If we're both agreed on the Roland, would you like to post something? I'm sure Brian wouldn't mind.

[Noyade]

But if not Karl, and in the event it is the Roland - Open House.

I do have a couple knucklehead kids... they are nuts that didn't fall far from the tree!

Same here mate. Knucklehead tree out the back with three nuts in the house...

[Karlark]

Here's something to look at until we hear back from evansb. I took the picture myself at a local airshow this Summer:

[evansb]

G'day Noyade!, its still dark, cool and Nov.30th here... Yes, it is indeed the L.F.G Roland C.II Walfisch (Whale). As you say OPEN HOUSE.

[Noyade]

Not a Challenge. Repeat, not a challenge.

I took the picture myself at a local airshow this Summer:

Nice. B-17 going by the turret?

Got one for ya - or anyone who's interested. I'm not sure what aircraft this is, although I do know it's a Mark 8 nuke. However, it does provide proof that Zombies exist! - look at the extreme left...



...ahhhhoooooahhhhh....

[Lightning Mate]

There are not many aircraft with close-coupled twin weapons pylons on the inboard fuselage.

For what it's worth I think it's a Banshee.

[Karlark]

I think Banshee, too... with unidentified bigfoot-like creature lurking in the background.
Yes, belly shot of a B-17 further above.

Still Open House

[Noyade]

Yes, I believe you're both right. Me being a dummkopf, thought I was looking at the fuselage. No mate, that's a zombie...

Alright, try this, following on from Brian's WWI theme...

[Karlark]

Nieuport 12... maybe?

[Noyade]

You're just about there mate. A little higher with the designation, and you have it.
