Not Italian Martin.

Challenge re-posted.

First prototype was shoulder-wing, thence high wing.

This is the first prototype.

Moving buildings now - back very shortly.

You poms crack me up! :)

Stabbing blindly and intoxicated - Polish?
You're a strong bugger!? :ooh:

Getting close mate. :)

OK, so Polish????

That's what Graeme asked and I said he was getting close.

Certainly is eastern Europe.

Go SE.

Is it the SFKB KB-11 Fazan from Bulgaria?

We have a winner gentlemen.

All yours mate.

(lost me smileys)

Thanks David:ok:

Next one:

Have to go shortly.

If that's a high wing I assume it's cantilevered.

er no.... looking at the fillets more like mid or low wing.

Low wing:ok:

A ULA, Ken??

Catch you later ken. :ok:

No, not a ULA Martin.

Cheers David....hope you can look in later:ok:

single-seater?

Yes, a single seater:ok:

amateur built?

No, a production aircraft, albeit in a comparitively small quantity.

OK

European?
Lyco engine?
Sports category?

RR

Yep:ok:
No
No
Just realised there was a 2 seat variant, but that never went in to production.

I came - I saw- and :mad:

I've had a good day here today, but my luck has just run out!

Well I see your light is on so maybe you are still around for a clue. A European design as Martin has established, but fitted with a Russian engine.

Thanks mate.

I can't stay around because up at 0600 in order to get to the Goodwood Festival of S p e e d.

Needless to say I won't be around tomorrow.

Got complimentary tickets to the Festival and all kinds of stuff.:ok::ok:

I wonder how many people there have moved at 1450 mph ?????

Cheers. :)

Enjoy the day mate...hope the weather is kind:ok:

Not quite that fast, but I can at least claim to having flown at speeds approaching that figure courtesy of a well known, but sadly retired, airliner:)

Greetings Ken. :)

May I ask what year it was built?

I reckon my bowels moved that fast two weeks ago. Gastro. :(

Morning Graeme

You may...1967.

Too much information mate:)

Thanks mate. Looking now. Could be a while. Don't feel compelled to wait up.

The sun is just coming up, presently 4.8 deg and looking cloudy.

That's cold! It's nearly dark here but the temp is still over 17 deg! Humid and cloudy thought with more rain on the way.

Yeah, predicted max is 16 deg.C. Don't like winter and the cold. Don't like the rain. Don't like cloudy days.

I feel a song coming on. :)

Got today off - gonna paint a bedroom. Not sure if that's a good idea, temp/paint wise?

The IAR-831?

Right company, but it's not the 831.

No probs paint wise, but guess you'll have to have the windows open so you'll be a little chilly!

I was thinking there was a minimum temp. for the paint chemistry to work? The tin instructions says it should be between 10 and 30 deg.C. Maybe I should wait for summer? :)

IAR-821?

Ken, I have to stop fart-arsing about and start this.

Open house if it is the IAR-821. I'll take a break after the first coat and re-look at your jet intake.

Cheers.:ok:

That's the one:ok: 20 examples produced of this agricultural aircraft plus one 2 seater.

From Observer's 1969:

Correction....Graeme has declared Open House. Hope the painting goes ok Graeme:ok:

Quick one....

a nice one, Ken! i was tempted to ask if it was an ag machine (as I had earlier in the day for another) by wrongly didn't!!!!!

Hi Graeme! Not sure about yours - piston??

Morning Martin.

Yes mate, piston.

american, I guess?

Not American mate.

The sentence above it reads, "The Togolese Air Force operates its aircraft in the counter-insurgency role".
