Is that the same as the Socata Rallye ?

skytrain10 17th Oct 2011 12:09

Hi Martin...sometimes its worth the risk of going with the obvious....I was hoping everyone would think it was TOO obvious, but yes, its the MS880B Rallye:ok:

RR has control

Edit to say, LM, just seen your post...this particular one is the MS Rallye but would have accepted SOCATA....but RR was there first.

Ridge Runner 17th Oct 2011 12:22

Good morning Karl....unusual looking...twin engine?

Karlark 17th Oct 2011 12:58

Good morning Ken. Yes, twin radials.

Ridge Runner 17th Oct 2011 13:10

It looks like it from the land of snails and Sauternes!! ?? RR

skytrain10 17th Oct 2011 13:13

Thanks Karl...the tail looks like it came off a C-119!

Ridge Runner 17th Oct 2011 13:16

was it built and did it fly, Karl?

Karlark 17th Oct 2011 13:20

Not French, not from that side of the pond.... it has a nose mounted gun turret.

Edit: RR, one was built and flew.

Karlark 17th Oct 2011 13:31

And to be not so cryptic with the clue, US Navy prototype!

Hall Aluminium XPTBH-2
It it is, it is a repeat……

skytrain10 17th Oct 2011 14:07

Not on the list Reg, or was it a recent one?

RegDep 17th Oct 2011 14:10

Not very recent

Hall Aluminium Aircraft Corporation XP2H-1 193, page 232, post 4622, 26/11/2009

Aaaa, that is not the same. My apologies :uhoh:.

skytrain10 17th Oct 2011 14:11

That's on the list, but it was a 4 engine biplane! This current challenge is 2 engine and high wing!

Karlark 17th Oct 2011 14:12

There were a couple of Halls on the list, but I did not see this particular one.

:ok: Skytrain has control!
