Gave up on AviaFrance mate - loading pages too slowly.
I'll try for a Cauldron?

skytrain10 6th Jul 2012 08:26

Good morning. Looks like the Block 800P?

Karlark 6th Jul 2012 11:16

Yes Ken, the Bloch 800P is correct. :D.
Also known as a SNCASO SO.80.

Bloch 800-P - Transport postal - Un sicle d'aviation franaise

MB 800

Skytrain10's control

skytrain10 6th Jul 2012 19:47

No guesses? To help you a long a recent (2000's) design. Not a homebuild.

Edit, challenge withdrawn.

skytrain10 6th Jul 2012 22:33

No interest today and not around much over the weekend so challenge withdrawn.

Open House.

Noyade 6th Jul 2012 22:41

Evening Ken. :)


No guesses?
Plenty of guesses mate, but none will be close. My problem I think is my brain hasn't moved on much from the mid-80s regards light aircraft. I see your image and still think in terms of Beech or Piper. In fact my first thought was the Aerotec 122, which it isn't.

Sorry mate, need a lot more clues. :(

Karlark 6th Jul 2012 22:43

I thought Beech 23 but I know that was wrong.

Noyade 6th Jul 2012 23:06


Edit, challenge withdrawn.
Happy to have it back if you want mate. :)

Well, in the meantime, just for a laugh...my youngest son recently went to see Battleship...
Battleship (2012) - IMDb

Since then, much to my disgust (:(:)), he now builds warship models. The latest Revell kit he built has this illustration in the instructions..

What do you think the seaplanes are?
And what's the warship?

:)

MReyn24050 6th Jul 2012 23:20

USS New Jersey with Vought OS2U Kingfisher perhaps, if not the New Jersey then the USS Missouri.

Noyade 6th Jul 2012 23:24

G'day mate, sorry, but no.

(This seaplane is already on your list)

Here's my 'ghosty' silhouette of the model piece. Eat ya heart out David. :)

Noyade 6th Jul 2012 23:33


then the USS Missouri.
Just saw that mate. Yes indeed. :ok:

The seaplane?.......

MReyn24050 6th Jul 2012 23:47

Curtiss SC Seahawk?

Noyade 6th Jul 2012 23:53


Curtiss SC Seahawk?
I believe that's what it's meant to be Mel. But I guess with scaling around 1:540, aircraft get distorted.

:ok:

MReyn24050 6th Jul 2012 23:54

That is true Graeme. It must be Open House I am afraid.

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 07:36

Morning/evening/g'day all.


Here's my 'ghosty' silhouette of the model piece. Eat ya heart out David. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif

Is this better?....

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 11:28

A'rtnoon LM,

Apologies for absence, just back from a business trip!

That looks like the Focke-Wulf F 19 Ente, the prototype that took the Wulf out of FW :ooh:!!

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 11:48

....and good 'artnoon to you TC.

That will be the one - all yours. :ok:

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 11:54

Thanks David,

This one should be fairly straightforward

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/.../TC_wtf244.jpg

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 12:01

Things often should be straightforward!

Is it Polish?

Appears on first inspection to be a two-seater, but I have my doubts.

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 12:07

It is a two-seater, but not from Poland

evansb 7th Jul 2012 12:14

Fokker S.11 ?

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 12:17

Fellow Challengers. :)

Nord N.3202?

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 12:20


Fellow Challengers.
Good morning Brian, good evening Graeme :)

Australia has it, it is the Nord 3202 :D

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/.../nord-3202.jpg

Noyade has control :ok:

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 12:30

Thanks Trevor.

Don't have a silhouette mate, but I've got a photo which may help you with the Cockpit Challenge...

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 12:33


Don't have a silhouette mate......
Then get yer backside into gear.....

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 12:36

The one in the background is black. :)

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 12:37

Thanks mate,

I hadn't seen the the new cockpit yet, a bit hectic here, the cupboard is bare, so gotta nip out and get some provisions shortly.

This looks familiar, is it one of those fan-in-wing jobbers?

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 12:43

Mock-ups on display at the El Toro Airbase in 1986. V/STOL jet fighter project.

fan-in-wing jobbers?
Not sure how it was suppose to work mate.

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 12:49


Not sure how it was suppose to work mate.
Big lifting wing and intakes. Engine (fan) buried inside.

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 12:57

Trevor, an expert source tells me it had a big lifting wing and intakes. Engine (fan) buried inside.

:)

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 13:14

...and I can't find this thing on the net.

Tell ya what - just after a name.
Complete this sentence...

Saint George and the _ _ _ _ _ _

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 13:16

Even with the name I can't find it!!!

...apart from the fact the the Dragon is a twin tilt-rotor helicopter.

Noyade 7th Jul 2012 13:23

Well, lets just forget it then. :)

Make it open house.

I have it as the Phalanx Dragon, then renamed American Aircraft Corporation Dragon.

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 13:35

Guess what is on the web..................

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...lanxDragon.jpg

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 13:41

I knew I'd seen it somewhere!! Never have got there without the name though, but at least it is on the Web mate:ok:

1986 | 1650 | Flight Archive

Edit: I see you found it too David :D

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 14:41

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 18:05

Bl:mad:dy Trolley :\

Still OH, try this one then!

Edit: OooPs just beaten to it

Challenge removed 'tiz one up my sleeve now :)

Lightning Mate 7th Jul 2012 18:06

Just as I say the TC, you bounce back.

SincoTC 7th Jul 2012 18:14

Sorry mate, shops took longer than I thought, then I cocked up my gimping and had to redo it :ugh:

Fairly high AR wing there, a glider or is that some ventral jet there/
