Norwich's challenge
 

Keith's Post # 166 is a Blohm und Voss Bv222A Wiking and as I say above
Opssys Post #167 is the FMA I.A.33 Pulqui II. Opssy, let us stick with one challenge at a time please.

Norwich
Got me beat:ugh:

Hello Mel, Yes it's the B und V 222A :ok:

Looking forward to your next challenge ! Keith.

Thanks Keith. As chiglet identified the Manufacturer before I did I will pass the honour to him, however if he hasn't a challenge then I will give way to diesel addict as he correctly identified Opssys challenge. Could I just reiterate do not post challenges unless it is open house or one has won the challenge.
Mel

Following my last challenge, should you be interested, I found a fantastic video clip of the B und V 238, an advance on the 222A, which should be at ...

YouTube - Blohm Voss BV 238 II

Keith ?

diesel addict. Correct and in five minutes according to the thread headers!
Honourable Mention to MReyn24050 for finding such a good picture.
I will now retire from the fray and just watch the geniuses at work!

"Could I just reiterate do not post challenges unless it is open house or one has won the challenge."

With respect, I started this post. I would like to post a further comment on your above quote, but I shall decline.

My idea for this post was a 'free for all' 'all join in' whether one has not identified an a/c or one has.

I'm sorry, I never knew there were rules posters had to abide to.

Daz
I appreciate that you started this thread. However, if you do not instigate the simple rule of only posting a fresh challenge after the current challenge has been identified and confirmed by the poster chaos will reign. As you say you started the thread so if that is the way you wish to play so be it. Forgive me for interferring, my comment was certainly not made to take over control of the thread merely to assist you in its smooth running.Hence my posting of a list of silhouettes posted so far.
I will withdraw my comment and leave you to run the thread as you intended it to be run.
Mel

Here is the next mystery silhouette:

Um, I feel a bit of a vacuum here ? would be nice to see a new challenge, but maybe that will only happen after we have an agreement to how it should be conducted !
This is only my view, the answer surely lies with, not just Daz and Mel, but with everybody who has enjoyed, questioned, answered, and enjoyed this thread ! So could we not have some input from all ? I want to enjoy this and hopefully not get involved with arguments etc. Keith.
Edit.
Sorry evansb, all this written before your post, but posted after ! Keith.

Keith
It is ok please do not let me spoil the thread, if that is the way Daz want his thread to run fine. Evansb aircraft is I think the Piaggio P.148. Please check your PMs Keith.
Mel

It sure is Mel!:ok: The sweet P.148 'Piaggino'. You have control.

Next Challenge

Mel's Challenge
 

Keith, that is the one :ok:. You have control.
Mel

Thank you Mel. I have one "teed up" and ready, but would like to offer the oportunity to others, should someone want to post. I will watch the grand prix on tv, if, after that, there are no offers I will post. Keith.

Good day for Hamilton and Mclaren ! Here goes ........ Keith.

Fairey Aviation FD1

Chilet, right timescale, same "type" of aircraft, but not a Fairey Delta ?
Keith.

Boulton Paul 111A

saberdog has it, Boulton Paul P111 :ok: the floor is yours ! Keith

Thank you.
Open House

As nobody has taken up the "Open House", here is the next challenge.
http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h...e86d/quiz1.jpg

OK my immediate thought was that this was a Boeing P26 'Peashooter' until I noticed the peashooter is not there, nor is the built up fairing aft of the headrest and the wheel fairings are the wrong shape!

Is it an early prototype of the P26?

Severski? [fore runner of Republic] P35
watp,iktch

Sorry, but it is not the delightful Boeing P-26, or an earlier mark of the same.
Correct era, and it was possibly obviously built to the same specifications.

No, Chiglet, it is not the Severski p-35.

Mitsubishi A5M?

Neither is it the Mitsubishi A5M. Sorry.
But there is a link between the two aircraft!

Some more clues;
First flown in1933.
The makers of this aircraft also produced railways trains!
Only 14 aircraft built.
Sold to one country only.

sabredog's challenge
 

We seem to be stuck on this one. To recap:-
Is the link between this aircraft and the Mitsubishi the country of origin i.e. Japan?
If not was the aircraft manufactured in the USA?

How about the Breda Ba.27 from Italy?

The aircraft was turned down by Italian Regia Aeronautica, but was later sold to the Republic of China for use in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Thank you,S'land. Well done. The Breda ba.27. is correct.
The link was the Mitsubishi A5M, as both aircraft fought against each other in the 1937 Sino-Japanese war. Breda also produced railway trains.

You have control.

Thanks Saberdog, that was difficult.

OK, here we go. Please bear with me as this is the first time that I have done this.

Arado 234?

Spot on, Saberdog.

You have control again.

... I saw a Globemaster in 64 AOG at Athens in the hot summer,load platform lowered and cows wandering round the tarmac .I gave them water when our own aircraft was topped up. Sadly I heard they crashed soon after in the Middle East mountains. I always thought till today that it was a sort of Boeing.

Thank you,S'land.
"Open House", as I have nothing to submit.
