US design, late '30's?

RegDep 1st Mar 2011 19:53

Hitachi TR.1?

Noooo!

The 1957 Lascurain Aura, Mexico (how could I miss it :()

This is what happened to it http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...Dep/V44092.jpg

Real Aviation History and Nostalgia stuff, if you ask me.

Excellent find RD....Mexico, of course it makes sense when you think it through. New one on me :ok:

HappyPass 1st Mar 2011 20:24

Thought about Mexico too (hot, high...) but then I couldn't find any manufacturer's name other than the ones listed in Wikipedia... :E

Edit: oh and btw (where are my manners...), congratulations!

RegDep is spot on:ok:. The Jacobs powered Lascurain Aura. A tragedy.
Over to you!

An Edgley Optica, maybe?

RegDep 1st Mar 2011 21:21

Correct HappyPass! :ok:

Edgley Optica

You know the procedure? Either you post a new challenge or, if you have nothing prepared, declare Open House. Open house is not preferred, but acceptable. If you wish advice on how to prepare challenge silhouettes, other PPRuNers are happy to help. Lightning Mate is now having vacation, but he will be back soon and, I believe, will be happy to tutor you.

The theread is yours, HappyPass :D

HappyPass 1st Mar 2011 21:28

Ok, since I will be able to access my pc in the foreseeable future, I'm game! :E
My first time, hope to blend in well, but, as they say, only practice make perfect, apologies if it is too difficult/too easy/too stupid/too anything.
First and foremost hope to get the tags right...

An' then it's all yours, gentlemen.:ok:

RegDep 1st Mar 2011 21:32

Attaboy HappyPass!

I am going to turn in now. Se you guys in the morning! :zzz:

Noyade 2nd Mar 2011 09:12


An' then it's all yours, gentlemen.
G'day mate. The PZL P.45 Sokol (Falcon).

Sorry, but it'll have to be Open House. Cheers.

HappyPass 2nd Mar 2011 09:30

G'day to you (or good evening Down Under)!
Your answer is, of course, spot on. :ok:

Noyade has requested Open House.

SincoTC 2nd Mar 2011 12:37

Good afternoon HappyPass and a somewhat belated "Welcome to the thread" from me and congratulations on your first "kill" and challenge. Keep it up :ok:

I'm sorry that you've been ploughing a rather lonely furrow today, with more than the usual number of players being absent for one reason or another. I've been very busy during my usual "breaks" during the day and plagued with an unreliable connection at home!

Anyway, enough excuses; here's one for you to play with!

skytrain10 2nd Mar 2011 13:01

Good afternoon Sinco...the Maeda Ku-1 from Japan I believe?

And if I may just add my belated welcome to HappyPass. As Sinco has said its very quiet at present, but you will see if you look back over the thread, it can get very hectic! Hope you stick with it and enjoy the fun :ok:. Ken

SincoTC 2nd Mar 2011 13:06

Good afternoon Ken,

It is indeed the Maeda Ku-1 Troop Transport/Trainer Glider from Japan Well done :ok:

I didn't think it would last long, but I coulldn't bear to see HappyPass marooned with now't to work on! I'm off back to work now, but will try and look in at coffee break and with luck when I get home, as OpenReach are threatening to fix my line today!!

skytrain10 has control

skytrain10 2nd Mar 2011 13:12

Hi Trevor
Thanks for that. Unfortunately I've been pretty busy workwise to so not really had a chance to look in until now. At least I'm working from home this week, so life is a little easier! Anyway for HappyPass and yourself, plus anyone who may be looking in, here's a snazy little number:

HappyPass 2nd Mar 2011 13:13

Thanks, SincoTC!
I've been quite busy today, so don't worry too much about me (by the way I think I forgot to log out...).
Just casting an eye from time to time.
Best regards

HappyPass 2nd Mar 2011 13:17

An Icon A5, perhaps?
gotta declare it an Open House if right however... busy afternoon...
Cheers

RegDep 2nd Mar 2011 13:27

Good shot HappyPass!

Interesting to see that skytrain has redacted one picture from his silhouette but left small marks of the folded wing-tips in to the lower right corner :8.

Having a household day today, maybe back later. Cheers.

skytrain10 2nd Mar 2011 13:36

Well done HappyPass, it is the Icon A5 from the US:ok:
