Well. 21 hours, 75 "views" and no offers ? must be clue time !

Lycoming 0-235 powered.

Manufacturing Co established in 1974.

Keith. ????

Norwich's challenge
 

Too many clues methinks. Please check PMs.:)

AS202 Bravo?

An Off-Topic question....
 

Because I may not be the only one with this question, I'll ask it openly rather than with a pm.

How can one find the number of "views" of a challenge that one posts? Is that a forum feature or a PhotoBucket feature?

So far, nothing found in the FAQs.

Cheers,

Glenn

Good morning all, Windriver it's not one of those, sorry ??.
Ozbeowulf, If you use the "back button" from this page, once, the previous page lists the number of views in the right hand coloumn, as this is an ongoing thread, you have to record the number at the time of posting a challenge, hope this explains ????
Keith, be lucky. ????

Thanks, Keith...

Glenn

One of the Socata Rallye family perhaps?

Stevef, sorry not a socata, not built in France, possibly built in a garage or shed ?????? Keith.

It's the Zenair/Alarus CH2000, so it is!

Never heard of that one before either!

Nice clues, Norwich.

Once again, Open House.

Yes indeed, Agaricus bisporus has it ! Zenair CH2000 ! seems to be a popular, all metal, self assembly aircraft ! Ab has declared open house so I will sit back and enjoy. Keith.

A quickie to keep the show on the road...

To win: Name the pilot, the significance of the aircraft, the date and location.

Let's have a go at Glenn H Curtiss, in the Model D, winning the Gordon Bennett Cup in Rheims????

Just a shot in the dark.

No.. Sorry. (no more clues just yet)

A.V.Roe ,1908...? Play thru !!

A.V Roe.. Yes
1908 (Close enough) 1907 at Brooklands according to the caption.
Play thru... not sure... It was the first aircraft he built...

You have control:ok:

PLAY THRU, golfing term -meaning `carry on`,can`t find my balls`,etc etc.

Would anybody mind if I posted another "easy" one ? Keith.

OK, this should last for nano seconds ??

Tupolev Tu134?

PaulC, spot on. :D The floor is yours, Keith.

nothing to hand so open house

Okay, this won't get too far, but it will keep the thread moving for a little while...

Sorry about this part, though. It's into the wee hours here in Oz, so I'm off. Back on deck in 6 or 7 hours.

Glenn

Is it the Douglas X3 Stiletto?

Something says `Navy`,and Grumman single seat twin piston,but before the F7F Tigercat....XF5F-1 perhaps ?? and if it is, carry on..Syc

I don't think it is jet powered. X-3 was my first guess as well until I saw the Mag. switches on the left side of the instrument panel. At least they look like Mag. switches.

Yup, piston powered, primer pump on right side.

Definitely the XF5F-1 Skyrocket as Sycamore said ! just found same photo elsewhere ? Keith.

Please carry on guys...incontinent..errr incompetent at down err uploading !

Well done, Sycamore! The X5F-1 it is.

"Open house," the man said.......

Thanks Glenn, going to post this, which I think is a lovely pic ! Keith.

Please stand by. New challenge coming!

OK! Here we are. Start guessing!

Sikorsky S51 or the licence-built Westland Dragonfly?

Brantly-Hynes B-2 ?

Umm Sikorsky H 5 Dragonfly ???? Keith.

edit..
Sorry SteveF just read your entry, same thing different numbers, its yours if correct ! Keith.

Stevef was the first to correctly identify the Sikorsky S51/H-5/HO3S that is in the Army Aviation Museum at Ft. Rucker, AL.

This won't be unidentified for long!

Bit of a mystery ship ,but a few thoughts; twin-engined piston,boost gauge at top,possibly rpm gauges mid-left, prop synchroniser top left,other engine stuff right,,a/h lower,so probably not `important`,no visible ASI,unless it is the `tape` at left,radio callsign in middle,and what looks like a `dymo tape` note` u/c inoperative` next to the cowl flap handles down the centre....
could it be the CH-Vt V173/XF5U Pancake ?

This aircraft was not from the USA, Sycamore. Prototype first flew in 1940. Two engines as you say. Two crew.

Was it a `War `trophy from Germany or Japan ?
