Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Noyade]

Only just past 2200 hrs here Ken, but it's been a long day. Hopefully others will be along shortly to continue the search. Found one tricycle homebuilt biplane, but the cockpit joins the upper wing. I'll keep that for a future challenge.

Cheers/Night.

Your personal photo?

No - from the web

Aerofiles?

It's listed, but no photo

Tricycle biplane?

Yes - not too many of those around.

This picture was taken at Oshkosh in 1990 - which was a good year for this aircraft

See you've gone now - perhaps catch you in the morning

[SincoTC]

Afternoon Ken ,

That would appear to be the Panl Pan 1, powered by what was intended to be a vertically mounted helicopter engine!!

[skytrain10]

That would appear to be the Panl Pan 1,

Close enough Trevor - I have it as the Panzl Pan 1 On the face of it an unusual choice for an engine, but the end result looks good - in fact good enough to win the EAA Champion Custom[Plans Built award at Oshkosh in 1990.



SincoTC has control

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken; I didn't spot my typo, I'd been sodding around with different combinations after mis-reading the Aerofiles entry and goggling Panzi Pan for images without much luck, and then I noticed it was an L not an i (should have gone to heck savers) and finally dropped the z when I posted

Here's the next!

[diesel addict]

Looks a bit like a Grumman "Avenger" with the wings at about 10° folded. . .

In the very unlikely event - Open House !

[SincoTC]

Sorry DA; it does, but it isn't !!

[diesel addict]

Hmmmm . . .

Can I try a similar airframe from Consolidated - Seawolf ???

probably TBY.

[SincoTC]

Good try DA

It is the Vought/Consolidated TBY-2 Seawolf



I presume diesel addict still wants an Open House

[diesel addict]

Thank you

Open House is indeed affirmed .

[Karlark]

Here's one to try during the open house intermission ;

[irishair2001]

Looks like a Saab B18A ?

[Karlark]

It is not the Saab B18, irishair, not Swedish.

[Noyade]

Afternoon/evening Karlark.

The double-step reminds me of the Romano R-110, so I was thinking French?

Or Romanian
Or Hungarian

Or...

[Noyade]

French!

SNCAO CAO.600 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



(A pity that rare WWII aircraft site "Grey Falcon" died.)

[Karlark]

Yes , the SNCAO CAO-600 is correct, one prototype produced.

I didn't even have a chance to post up the rear view as a clue:


Noyade's control

edit; I'll be darned, greyfalcon is gone, hadn't looked there in awhile.

[Noyade]

Thanks Karlark.

This is similar to your Panzl Pan Ken, but I'm not sure if it's illustrated on the net...



...but since I had so much trouble GIMPing it, I'm pressing on with it.

[skytrain10]

Hi Graeme....this looks familiar. I wonder if I've seen it in Janes? American? My first thought was the Durand Mk V, but not that. However it looks like a negative stagger along the lines of the Durand?

[SincoTC]

Morning Ken and Martin ,

Just paying a flying visit to judge my Challenge, I've got a very busy day ahead and not sure when I can get back. Have fun with Graeme's bipe, a bit worried that he isn't sure if it's on the web though, 'coz he knows its name

Catchya later I hope!

[Noyade]

Sorry gents. Probably the best clue is the rego...
