Another bipe?

That looks familiar...sure I've seen that very recently.....

Not a biplane David.

Not sure it's a biplane David....thinking more of a high wing mono? American Graeme?

Not American Ken.

Looks very similar to the Broussard, but the cowling is wrong.

Cowling might look odd, but it is the Broussard mate. :ok:

Your control David.

Good grief :eek:.

Standby please........

Easy one.......

Yes, of course, the Broussard. Now I know what I was trying to remember!

Graeme, do you want the calculated radius of turn of the Valkyrie?

Well, answer the man Ken. :)

(Rocket job - stabilising rails, so ah, hmm, vertical launch?)

Vertical launch it is mate. :)

Yes mate! I've got a Trivia Night coming up soon. :ok:

(Have you also got a range figure for a B-17 with 17,600 lb of bombs?)

The Rocket, looks a tad F-105.....Republic?

Uh....um....not one I recognise. A project?

It's not a rocket - at least I think not because it has intakes.

Not Republic.

Valkyrie...

Assuming M3.0 at 70,000 ft and a true airspeed of around 1800 knots and using 30 degrees of bank:

radius of turn about 80 nautical miles. :)

Project ya.

Hmmm....won't be able to "corkscrew" when the night-fighters arrive then? :)

Project. British Point-Defence Interceptor (I think you guys were into that early post-war). Piloted. Rocket to reach speed, then jets take over.

How'd I go?

Nein mein freund. ;)

Check PM.

Oh dear...not Luft '46?

Not in Luft 46.

....who, Me Sir?....

Where were we?...

American?

Nein, nicht Amerikan.

Have to go and invigilate an examination.

Here's a re-post to avoid back-paging.

I say again - ....who, Me Sir?....

OK, OK, I get the massage :)

I think it's the Messerschmitt Me X1-21 Tailsitter ??

First chance of a look in since Monday (internet down at home and up to my eyes in it at work :ugh:), off into a meeting in a couple of minutes and not sure when I can get back, so Open House please if correct! All lights are off at the moment anyway :O

Nice shot TC. :D

TC has requested Open House (unless he can get back soon).

....schhhhhh

Before that pin makes too much noise, as its OH:

Another :uhoh:.

I'm off. :)

Oh great - saw your post and thought you'd like something to keep you occupied....instead you take one look and leave:)

Don't be offended mate - I'm in the kitchen and busy..................

I'll be back soon and try - honestly....................

Evening gents.

Is it a Piper product Ken?

You mean a Piper PA-25 Pawnee ?

Well, I think so Brian. But my Observer's Pawnee looks a little different?

See here...(lower silhouette)

It is indeed a PA-25-235 Pawnee. In this instance taken from the Observers Basic Aircraft Civil, 1967.

Yours does look a little different Graeme?

evansb has control:ok:

He's older - 1960. :ok:

Well done Brian. :ok:

Ah, the 1960 Observers Aircraft shows the PA-25-150 :)

Thanks gents. Here is the next silhouette challenge:
