Challenge

[Noyade]

I thought I'd try another Douglas!

Your control Brian.

[evansb]

Thanks! What is this ??

[Noyade]

Looks very much like the Victa R-2?

[evansb]

Yes, the Victa R2, designed by Luigi Pellarini, who also designed the Transavia Airtruk. Your control.

[India Four Two]

who also designed the Transavia Airtruk

Ah, that would explain the "Pawnee struts". Just couldn't keep away from ugly!

[Noyade]

Thanks Brian, here's a bit more (from 1988) on the R2...



Here's another challenge - a better looking Australian....

[TheiC]

Is that the FSRW?

[Noyade]

It is indeed the Smith FSRW-1. Well done TheiC, your control.

[TheiC]

Thanks...

I do have a challenge but can't post until this evening UK time at the earliest.

So I'll say OPEN HOUSE but will pick it up myself if I can.

[evansb]

The next challenge:

[Noyade]

I'll go with the Cessna 407 Brian. I did a bit Googling and I was very surprised to learn it never flew?

[evansb]

The Cessna 407 is correct. Noyade has control.

[Noyade]

Thanks mate.

Another...

[Noyade]

Here's the original, should be easier now....

[irishair2001]

Kawanishi H8K2 Emily

[Noyade]

Your control....

[Noyade]

Not exactly a fair challenge

C'mon mate, are you serious? The only "clever" thing I did there was take a famous photograph, pump up the contrast and darken it. Smoke still pouring from the outer port wing, where the fourth engine was shot off, with a hint of Japanese roundels still visible and it sat there for nearly two days with no questions asked. So then I posted the original.

Perfectly legit to me!

[Lightning Mate]

Oh dear...............


Personally I don't see what was wrong with Noyades' challenge.


But still, I don't play here so my opinion is worthless.

[evansb]

You're right. I flew off the handle. Sorry.

[Noyade]

Not a problem mate, can't let the Japs get to us! Here's another to make up for Emily...

my opinion is worthless

So, why the long face?
