I thought you might have found the Koolhoven FK57 while researching the De Schelde but , looking closer, the fins and u/c don't look right , unless.........

Not a Koolhoven one11...

Closing down shortly for the night...no clues as both WK and Bradenav are so close...!

I think it is the THK-10????? This was an improved version of the -5A which, I guess, included the different window arrangement? RR

RR has it :ok:....it is the THK-10, an updated model based on the THK-5A.

Over to you Martin

Oh joy, ok, lets start the ball rolling...how about a Petrolini El Boyero?

Noyade 20th May 2010 09:06

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ how many fricken aircraft have been built that resemble the Piper Cub!?! Maybe we should start a thread to document look-a-likes? LOL. :)

Check Silhouette Challenge page 101......

That boy from the valleys has it. I have it as the IAe El Boyero of the 1940s but it seems to have been known under a number of builder's names. Over to you Ken.........

Yes, I saw that, sorry. However the image on 101 is not an El Boyero. Look at the windshield etc. If you look at a number of other photos of different aircraft it doesn't match. Anyway, right or wrong it (my image) is the El Boyero. RR

Cabin windows gave it away!

Morning Graeme....perhaps we should have a timed contest....one of us puts up say 6 Cub lookalikes and see how many can be guessed in say an hour!

Talking of which....here is a very easy one!

Read, steady..........go!

It looks like a home-build?

skytrain10 20th May 2010 09:37

Nope, not a home build.

Canadian......

skytrain10 20th May 2010 09:46

Was it something I said? Seems LM and Noyade have dropped off....!

Incidentally RR, the 3 view you've posted is the IAE 20c model of the El Boyero.

skytrain10 20th May 2010 09:48

Ah, you're back....care to expand on that LM?

Lightning Mate 20th May 2010 09:51

A Fleet...?

skytrain10 20th May 2010 09:52


A Fleet...?
Keep going.......need a model

Lightning Mate 20th May 2010 09:54
