Vought XF8U-3 Crusader III perhaps?

Very nice timing Mel! :D:ok: Your control.
Cheers.

(running to the front door now...)

Thanks Graeme.
Very interesting challenge. Here is the next one:-

Hi Mel,

1930s, German, low-wing monoplane?

Edit: with Bosch magnetos, I see.

Hi I42
You are in the right neck of the woods and era, i.e. late 20s early 30s.
Mel

That is the one Bri, the BfW M.23c also known as the Messerschidt M.23c.:ok:

You have control

Thanks Mel.
Here is the next mystery cockpit:

Possibly the DH 112 Sea Venom. However, the canopy does not look right for that aircraft.

Sorry Mel, not the DH Sea Venom. Not from the U.K.

American? Purely based on the rotund looking canopy maybe the Douglas F3D Skynight?

Sorry, not the Skyknight.

Douglas F6D Missileer perhaps?

Convair YF-102?

The prototype and pre-production models designed and produced before the incorporation of Dr. Whitcombe's area rule fuselage with the coke bottle wasp waist of the F-102A.

This is a Douglas aircraft but not the project that never flew ie the Missileeer. However I think it might be the Douglas Skyraider AD-5N. The wide-bodied Skyraider.

Yes Mel, it is the Douglas AD-5N.:ok: You have control.

Bachem BA349 Natter?

Not the Bachem BA349 Natter but the right part of the world.

Blohm und Voss BV.40.

Ciarain.

Not the Blohm und Voss BV.40 Ciarain.

Messerschmitt Me.309 ?

Not the Me.309. However there was a connection with Messerschmidt.

A Henschel of somekind?

Blohm & Voss Bv.155 ?

That is the one Bri.:ok: You have control.

Quote:

The saga of the BV 155 began at Messerschmitt in the spring of 1942. At that time, it was known under the designation of Me 155, and was a company proposal for a carrier-based single-seat fighter. The Me 155 was intended to be based aboard the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, then under construction. In the interest of economy and simplicity, the Me 155 was to use as many Messerschmitt Bf 109 components as possible, being basically a navalized version of the earlier Messerschmitt fighter.

In August 1943, the Technische Amt decided that Messerschmitt was over-committed, and they decided to transfer the work on the design to Blohm & Voss. After some initial study, the Blohm & Voss design team deemed that the existing Messerschmitt design had too many weaknesses. Several months of argument and finger-pointing between the Messerschmitt transition team and the Blohm & Voss designers followed. Friction between the two teams got steadily worse. In the event, no meeting of the minds was possible, and the Technische Amt eventually decided to throw Messerschmitt off the project entirely, and turn it entirely over to Blohm & Voss.

Thanks Mel. Excellent challenge. I shoulda went with my gut feeling on that one. Here is the next mystery cockpit:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WCP101124.jpg

Sorry, not the ADAM M309.

Rutan's M-133? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Both are proof of concept. Only one produced so far, a prototype powered by PT6 engines.

It looks like it may be the Evektor EV-55 Prototype ?

If correct, please declare Open House as I have nothing prepared and was just finishing lunch break, no time to pursue the current Silhouette Challenge and couldn't resist a shot at it!

SincoTC is correct. The Evektor EV-55 Outback.

No takers? I did not think it was that difficult, the image came from the same source as my previous three challenges.
Mel

Sorry Bri. This one is not the Junkers Ju-86B.

Is it a twin push-pull ?

G'day Mel. Twin-engined German, pre-1939?.....

Sycamore and Graeme.
German single engine pre 1939.
