Yes, it was - the trail's warming up now!

Nakajima Kikka? just another wild stab....

Sorry, Aviate1138 - this was piston-engined.

Kawasaki Ki-45 perhaps? :)

No 'perhaps' about it, aviate1138 - spot on!
:D
Steve.

It has to be "Open House" as I have to dash but will be luxuriating in getting one right! At last. :rolleyes:

I have another "instant easy" post for you all .... Keith.

Something Russian-early Yak ?

Ah, good evening Sycamore, Sorry but not a Yak ? Keith.

66 views, and one attempt ! mmm ? must go to bed will be back soon, keep em coming ! Keith.

Maybe a Petlyakov Pe-2/3?

Aviate 1138, Sorry you had to wait so long, work ! but sorry your not there yet ! First cluette its not Russian ... Keith ???

And another shot of the same thing ?????

Hey Keith, you got a good cockpit going. Is the turn-and-bank a good clue ? How are your 'chips'n eggs?' mate ??? Whass upp b'out your question marks ????

Norwich's challenge
 

Has an Italian look about it perhaps?
Mel

Good afternoon Mel, You are very astute, (or are you) where does your assumption lead you ????
Keith.

Norwich's challenge
 

Good Afternoon to you to Keith. Not that astute I am afraid. The instruments led me to Italian and the cockpit window layout leds me thinking it may be to this version of the Ambrosini SAI S.7

But that is just a hunch. Be back later must go and mow the lawns.
Mel

Well Mel ! It is not that aircraft, sorry. But some of your thinking is in the correct area ? It is not that obscure ? I think the photography is not doing any favours ? What can you make of Evansb's earlier post ?? I cannot reconcile that with what I have in my head ?
Keith.

Norwich's challenge
 

Thanks for that I was thinking it might be from the Breda stables. I think Evansb was referring to the markings on the turn and bank guage S and D which are Italian for Left and Right i.e. Sinistra and Destra.

As I said earlier, I think the perspective in the previous photo's is off putting ! So I have "engineered" this third shot, which will make it so easy for you all ???
Keith.

Breda Ba 65?

Were getting there, but not there yet, sorry Aviate1138. Keith. ??

How about a Savoia Marchetti SM-85? Perhaps........maybe.....

Ah, A very elegant name, but not the one you strive for ? Keith.

Has something of the Fiat G50 about it I think

What about the Piaggio P7?? Hmmmmm.......

The circle is closing ! in the last two posts there is one signifcant manufacturer ! "but not necessarily in the correct order" Keith.

Damn! I was going to suggest the Reggiane Re 2000 Falco but now I am going for

the FIAT BR.20 Cicogna ? Can't find a Piaggio anything suitable.....

Piaggio P-119?

Aviate 1138, Well, what can I say, ummm no, but ever smaller circle, in your last post there were "2" significant words, but in the wrong places. Looking back at previous posts several have had one too many engines and not enough wings ! I'm making it too easy for you to get your second consecutive win am I not ? ..... ha ha .... love it. Keith

Deep breath....

Fiat CR 32 ?

My last remaining brain cell is in need of deep majooberizing! :)

Correzione! CR 42 :rolleyes:

YES YES YES !!! Aviate 1138 .... your last minute change of mind has won it ! Well deduced ! for that I give you two :D :D Looking forward to your challenge ! Keith.

Ha! Only Mr Google has the brains, I just tap the keys! Thanks for the clues! :)

Wild guess, WACO UPF-7?

Aeronca Arrow Sport. Keith ;)

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...arrow_cpit.jpg

Actually not an Aeronca but [and you are correct!] an

Arrow Aircraft & Motors Corp, Havelock NB. Arrow Sport - Kenner radial, the first of a number of variants.

Well done Keith

You have control :)

Thanks aviate, phew ! This is a really really easy one, as I need bed ! Keith.

Douglas Skyraider?

asw 28-866, Yes it's a Douglas A1H Skyraider, It's your choice next ! Keith.

It's been 20 hrs ! so just to keep things going another easy one ? Keith

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...pits/cop22.jpg

Hmmm...

Looks like a Fleet 80 'Canuck' to me, but its been a long time....
