Evening Graeme...not Polish either.

In terms of "geographical" suggestions I guess you and evansb have been closest :).

Would never have got the WC challenge...went through all the HB models I could find yesterday evening - closest I could see was the CC, but that was definitely not a bomber. Wish I'd said it now!

OK. Thanks.

Just looking at my 1987 "Times Atlas of the World"....East Germany? :)
Should I update?

Hungary?
Austria?

Morning Gents,

First break of the day!

Ken, is it the Hopfner / Hirtenberg HV.15 ?? (or maybe WN-15)

OH if correct please, as I'm back to the grind now!

Could be worse...could be Prussia!
I got a newish Times Atlas last year...lots of changes from my previous one, which was from the mid 60's. A lot less pink on the world map these days!

Worth looking closely at the other two countries you've mentioned:ok:

Morning Trevor

Bingo....well done Trevor, it is indeed the Hopfner (or Hirtenberg) HV-15 from Austrian:ok:

SincoTC has delared Open House

Is "Sinco" Indian for one who swoops?

Did you see that coming Ken? I certainly didn't.

Could well be mate...:ok:

No, didn't see that coming...but we should know by now!

Got something to post Graeme, or Martin?

Try this Ken. (I've just gotta find where I got it, what it is and if it's on Mel's list - gimme a minute. :))

Please tell me its not a German seaplane Graeme:(

Found it.

Not a German seaplane Ken. :)

Just want the manufacturer's name for control.

Clue..."Schneider"

Nieuport VI?

Excellent. Manufacturer and designation! :ok: My source just called it the "Nieuport monoplane of 1913''.

Back to you Ken.

Thanks Graeme. Initially I thought it was the 1913 winner...a Depurdussin, but didn't look right so had to do a little research. Found a good website in the process thats list ALL the competing aircraft - sadly no pictures though.

Here's something a little newer:

Edit to say challenge withdrawn.

How new is that Ken? Looks like a pusher prop version of the Gulfstream Peregrine?

New....21st century! No connection with the Peregrine.

Not East German then. :)

Well, oddly enough....you are correct...its not. Not from the Austro-Hungarian Empire either.

No idea mate, too modern for me. Probably best if I leave if for "the one who swoops". :)

At the back, two horizontal tails? Contra-prop?

Listed here?...

Category:Pusher aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just the one horizontal Graeme. What looks like the 2nd one is the starboard wing. Single 4 bladed prop

Not that I can see.
