Evening Graeme. A quick coffee break....is it the Hanriot H.220?

If so will have to be Open House as going to be pretty tied up for the day.

Morning Ken. Productive coffee break mate. It is the Hanroit H.220. :ok:

Open House.

Good evening gentlemen!

Been in hectic today plus meetings all afternoon; so first time on SC today and it seems to have been a quiet day.

here's one to try and keep things moving!

Off home soon, but will turn green light off when I go and will put it back on when I get home :)

Hello, is it an M.150 Schulmeister training aircraft?

Edit; Open House if confirmed correct. Thanks!

SincoTC 16th Nov 2011 19:19

:D:D:D:D I reckon that's a good Challenge and a great call from Karlark :ok:

evansb 16th Nov 2011 20:07

Karlark is correct. It is the Continental C.90 powered Meindle (Burgfalke) M-150 Schulmeister. As per request, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Karlark 16th Nov 2011 21:07

No takers on the O.H. has bought me time to gather up a new S.C...
Here it is;

Evening Karark,

I think that's a Canadian Fairchild 45-80 Sekani ??

Karlark 16th Nov 2011 22:55

Evening SincoTC. Yes it is the 45-80 Sekani! :D:D:D:D

Another obscure one lost in history. It was the largest "bush" plane ever built. It was fit with both skis and floats. It nearly bankrupt Fairchild!

Here are a few pages of photos:

Image Bank – Canada Aviation Museum


You have control Sinco.

SincoTC 17th Nov 2011 02:44

Thanks Karlark,

An interestig challenge; most of the photos on the web show it as a floatplane from the side; which looks nothing like your silhouette, fortunately I persisted because the description seemed to fit, then I happened across the Canadian Aviation site and found the image yuo had used (even that was captioned as a floatplane)!

Another early start for me, but I don't want this one tto linger as monitoring time will be limited, so here's an easy one for those on trailing or leading time zones ;) !

Morning SincoTC, looks a little like a Loire et Olivier 45 series aircraft.

SincoTC 17th Nov 2011 04:25


looks a little like a Loire et Olivier 45 series
And we know why that is don't we, 'coz it is :ok:

The caption says it's a Loire et Olivier LeO.451

I came across this almost ready-made silhouette while looking for images of the post-war flying laboratory 451E variant, which are quite scarce on the web, and being a lazy sod I couldn't resist using it despite that give-away tail

Karkark has control :D:D (or is too near bed-time?} :)

Oh well, back to work now for me, sleep well :ok:

Karlark 17th Nov 2011 04:36

Yes, it is time to hit the sack. I leave this impromptu one, please move forward once confirmed by anyone.

Thx Sinco, 'nite.

Noyade 17th Nov 2011 04:50

Quick afternoon stab. Tupolev SB 2....?


looking for images of the post-war flying laboratory 451E variant
(Hi Trevor, did you find a name for that winged bomb thing? :()
