Obviously vintage, made of trees, guessing German as they had a liking for the panelled glazing...Rheinland?

As for the previous one, who would have thought the 'concrete swan'? Mind you there wouldn't be many gliders to hit 1,000+ in number.

In the unlikely event of being correct, open house as working soon, called off standby!

'866

asw28-866 is correct. :ok:The FVA-10B Rheinland. The FVA-10A had a different instrument panel. He says it is OPEN HOUSE.

I had to think about that for a minute. Is the origin of the nickname in any way related to the two-seater G103 we had in Alberta in the 90s being referred to as the Plastic Pig, because of its weight?

I thought the name was familiar! So am I, everybody must have gone Christmas shopping!!

I wouldn't rate those wipers any good for much IAS, so it's a hovercraft, nice glass displays so it's probably a USN LCAC ?

Open House if correct please

Lightning Mate 21st Dec 2010 10:48

Well I've seen a cockpit of an Ektranoplan, and it's ancient compared with this.

Lightning Mate 21st Dec 2010 10:50

Well well - look who just pitched up. :)

Sure is mate. :ok: Back to SC......

Good morning evansb,

A single seater, with four "Motors"; I think it's the Solar Impulse "Around the World electric flyer" ?

If correct then Open House please!

evansb 21st Dec 2010 17:57

SincoTC is correct.:ok: The SOLAR IMPULSE is not nostalgic but certainly historic. As you say, OPEN HOUSE.

Single-engined gun armed fighter - probably sixties and American.
