Evening Gents, and greetings from Luxembourg.

Would this be the Lisa Akoya semi-amphibious aircraft?

Will have to be OH if correct.

Evening Skytrain, and thanks for the greetings.

You seem to be in the money.....

I'll turn in now. Good night, see you tomorrow :)

Evening RD. I have a challenge ready but it would be unfair to post as I wont have the opportunity to monitor.
I'll check in again tomorrow evening and see what's happening.
Good night

Nice one Ken. :ok:

The Lisa Akoya it is.

Open House has been requested.

RegDep 13th Jan 2011 09:14

To whom it may concern: I am not going to take the OH because that would prevent LM from playing.

'Tag Reg,

Regarding Silhouettes; I'm in the same position as you, I can't do them at the moment and will have to get it sorted soon.

Here's something LM can play with, It's not very good I'm afraid and I doubt it'll last very long!

Bugger, forgot to crop the background, it'll have to do as I'm back to work now, but will keep an eye on things!

French, per chance???

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 10:16

Morning RR,

Sorry mate, it's not French!

Ridge Runner 13th Jan 2011 10:19

OK mate, but European, right?

Lightning Mate 13th Jan 2011 10:19

Morning everyone. :)

Lithuanian?

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 10:26

Morning LM; it's playtime!!

'Tis European, but not from Lithuania!

Lightning Mate 13th Jan 2011 10:31

I appreciate your sentiments and those of RegDep.

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 10:46

You're very welcome mate, it's the least we can do!

drawbarz 13th Jan 2011 10:50

Morning All,

Is it Polish...?

J.

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 11:06

Morning John,

Not Polish I'm afraid, but at least that's another country ticked off the list :)

Ridge Runner 13th Jan 2011 11:22

it looks like it has a window ahead of the cockpit? It carried passengers?

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 11:36

No windows show in photo's and it's described as a single-seater.

What's shown is possibly a fuel tank between the wing supports, but dunno really!

Lightning Mate 13th Jan 2011 13:32

No mains power for two hours. :\

Was this aeroplane modified for some kind of record?

Looks like it has an unusual amount of sweepback for its' type and year.

SincoTC 13th Jan 2011 13:58

Oh dear,

You know the year!! That's more than I've been able to find out, but it's obviously 'tween the wars!

No record attempts mentioned, it did have a specific "testing" purpose, but was otherwise regarded as a good handling sporting type.

RegDep 13th Jan 2011 14:16

Just a question: What happened to Albatros 61 through 64? Or the two L 67s?
