I'll be darned.

I went through the correct way, all down to 'Piero Magni PM.1/PM.2 Vittoria/PM.3 Vale/PM.4 Supervale [4]' and then clicked the 'Italy Fascist', and got something that had wrong tail. So I thought, why would the '? Fascist - Other' be any different, without understanding that the ? meant civilian (no roundel) .

Ach ja. At least I learned something today that I can forget tomorrow .

HP Your challenge is Plumber's Delight Mk. I

Well, try to pick this one right then, Heinrich...

Plumber's Delight Mk. I
That made my day, I'm still laughing!
To be fair, the silencer is a quite recent addition, and I've seen it only on this particular airframe, as far as the photos can tell.
...and doncha Tampere with the pipes...

Yeah, the builder must have stolen the muffler from his brothers motor cycle, Shirley.

Yep, that one
Hinu = dialectal form for Heinrich
Photo shot at Tampere (EFTS)
Even the "PIcK this one right" wasn't accidental...

Well, you got it almost right. But if you call a Heinrich 'Hinu' in Teisko Airport (EFTS) or elsewhere, watch out the brother in your picture. He might think you mean something else…. The name Hinu was given to this aircraft type before urban slang PIcKed that expression into another use…..

'Soon' has now expired

Well... I'm not a native Finnish speaker...
Hinu - Nordic Names Wiki - Name Origin, Meaning and Statistics
That's the authoritative source

I am not an authoritative source. But as little as I know about the subject, I would assert that Hinu comes from hinuri (hinaaja) meaning a tug. Today, the urban use of hinuri is homosexual, gay.

So just you watch out.

You are definitely on the right track Brian. Something the you'd expect Batman to fancy.

Edit: In response to #1900.
