Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Cheers.

[Noyade]

Blackburn Pellet?

[Lightning Mate]

That will do nicely mate - see you tomorrow (today).

[Noyade]

Thanks mate, but heading to work now, so Open House.

[Kitbag]

Wish you'd left that last challenge up I was going towards an early Hughes 500. Anyway, to get this thread back to the top have a look at this one:

[eckhard]

NA B-45 Tornado?

[Kitbag]

Indeed it is, you have control

[Noyade]

Wish you'd left that last challenge up

Sorry Kitbag. It slunk to the bottom and then over to page 2 without a nibble of interest, so I pretended it never happened. Sometimes it's hard to assess the degree of interest in these sorts of threads. I will put if back when the situation allows.

Cheers mate.

[Kitbag]

No worries, looking forward to its reappearance, probably need loads of time to work out what that ring of 'nozzles'? was for anyway

[Noyade]

Not sure if eckhard is returning, so in the meantime...



Not a Hughes kitbag, but it is a helicopter.

what that ring of 'nozzles'? was for

Smoke generator!

[Lightning Mate]

Hughes UH1.

[Noyade]

Hughes UH1.

I'm sure you meant Bell?

It is indeed the Bell UH-1H in the "smoker" mission. Your control.

[Lightning Mate]

Open house.

[Noyade]

One for the injun buffs...

[MReyn24050]

The engine looks like a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 so possibly the aircraft is a Pilatus PC-9.

[Noyade]

Good morning Mel.

Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6

I believe so mate. Physically, the challenge machine is much bigger than the PC-9. Normally powered by a piston engine there were models powered by a turboprop.

[MReyn24050]

From your statement

Normally powered by a piston engine there were models powered by a turboprop

I take it we are looking at a single engined aircraft. Howabout the DHC2 Beaver conversion?

[Noyade]

Yes Mel, it is a single engine aircraft, Canadian and from De Havilland, but not the Beaver....

[evansb]

The DHC-3 Turbine Otter then?

[Noyade]

That's the one Brian. Your control.
