Silhouette challenge
 
Hi all, not visited here for a while. I've been working on a new 'name the a/c' to test your skills. This time, no pic of the a/c just the silhouette.

Good luck...............

Liffy 1M 22nd Jun 2008 00:16

Douglas C-74 Globemaster I. The civilian version, had it been built, would have been called the DC-7.

evansb 22nd Jun 2008 00:17

Liffy is correct. It is a Douglas C-74. Your turn.

Piaggio/FW149

RETDPI 23rd Jun 2008 11:45

Wassmer Baladou?

Mel's Challenge
 
chiglet. Not the Piaggio/FW149.
RETDPI. You are correct in stating it is a Wassmer aircraft but not the Baladou as that had a fixed undercarriage. Can you get closer to the actual type?

RETDPI 23rd Jun 2008 12:49

Whoops.
How about Wassmer WA-40A Super 4 Sancy or therebouts ? :8

Being a bit presumptious I know - but assuming that's close enough Mel, here's my opening Challenge.

. You have it. :ok: :D. The Silhouette was reported to be the Wassmer Super 4-21 Presige which differs from the Sancy in having an aerodynamically refined cockpit canopy, raised aft fuselage decking.

Quite correct of course Mel
