the HAL Agri plane prototype
A nice one, Karlark!! :)

Thanks Terrence. Dive-bombing in a glider sounds like a one-way trip.

Also, that HAL Agri-plane seems to have been inspired from the Partenavia Aeroscooter.

Here is the next challenge:

Evening Brian, Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat?

Edit, not around this evening so if correct will have to be Open House.

Ridge Runner 11th Jan 2012 17:50

I'll second that, mate!

evansb 11th Jan 2012 17:55

skytrain10 is correct.:ok: The quick Grumman F7F. As requested, it is

OPEN HOUSE.

One for the open house...
Good man :ok:, dunno where they all were this side of the pond yesterday, 'fraid I was too busy to look in!

Can't stop now as gotte get ready for an early start to my day :sad:, but I'll ask this now and maybe catch you before bed! Is this one from you're side of the pond??

BTW, there'e an open cockpit available now :)

Karlark 13th Jan 2012 03:25

Yes TC, this side of the pond, only no dihedral compared to the Tigercat. :)

SincoTC 13th Jan 2012 12:29

Morning Karl,

Hurried look at lunch break!

Three-bladed props, radio mast, is it a Curtiss Y1A-18 or possibly the later production A-18 Shrike II ??

Karlark 13th Jan 2012 13:12

Afternoon TC,

Yes, it is the Curtiss A-18 Shrike :ok:.

Thanks Karl,

Sorry for the delay guys (I know you're out there somewhere), I've been in a meeting since lunchtime :ooh:!!

It'll have to be an Open House now, as I'll be busy for the rest of the afternoon. If no one takes it I'll put one up later when I get home!

Ridge Runner 13th Jan 2012 15:55

I'd love too but I can't guarantee that I can monitor over the weekend. Sorry!

SincoTC 13th Jan 2012 16:28

Hi Martin,

No need to apologise mate, I know/think you're still in faraway places and time-zones :)

SincoTC 13th Jan 2012 17:53

Just going home, will be back to monitor in about an hour:

Martin MB-1/MB-2/NBS-1 bomber?

SincoTC 13th Jan 2012 19:15

Good afternoon Minnesota!

It looks like it's turning out to be the Karlark and TC show doesn't it :)!


Martin MB-1/MB-2/NBS-1 bomber?
I thought the MB-1 had splayed interplane-struts (but I could be wrong though), but the other two are identical in silhouette, I think because of this, it ought to go on Mel's list as the Martin MB-2/NBS-1

Karlark has control :ok:

Karlark 13th Jan 2012 19:46

Thanks & Evening Minehead! :)

Just multi-tasking here at work... one more before the buzzer:

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i..._2008/33-3.jpg

You are correct Trevor, I should have left the MB-1 out of the carpet-bombing of answers.

Noyade 13th Jan 2012 20:28

G'day gents.

A Kinner product mate?

Kinner R-5?
Kinner-P?

I Kinner make up my mind!

SincoTC 13th Jan 2012 21:06

I'd have a Pee if I were you Sportster, I think that's a good call mate, but I may be wrong :)!!

Karlark 13th Jan 2012 21:21

Morning Noyade! :ok:

I have it as the Kinner R-5 Playboy. So it is kind of both an R & P

Still at work. The buzzer must 'ave broke. :bored:
