Good one :ok:!!

Was having doubts about the P as they all seemed to have cowls, but I could only find photos of the Playboy with open cockpit and then noticed it started life as closed!

Thanks Karlark. Not very "silhouetty", but here goes No.3...

Speaking of which...

AviaQuiz - Name That Plane!

Re-register?! What's going on?

Afternoon Graeme,

I'll go with that mate seeing as it's topical (dunno WTF is going on at AQ though, an unnoticed cock-up I hope)

The caption to my source actually give it as the Douglass A-24 Banchee, but that just seems to be the Army name for the SBD Dauntless, so I think that both should noew go on Mel's list!

Noyade has control :ok:

Thanks mate. Should have looked at the site more carefully where I found your image. :( Very generous, thanks.

Next one...

Not been around of late....first chance to look in for a while. Looks Curtiss'ish, but not quite right. A US machine Graeme?

G'day Ken. :)

Yes mate. But not from Curtiss. Two-seat fighter...

'Artnoon Graeme,

Is the Plan-view silhouette conceal a closed cockpit?

Welcome back Ken :ok:

Yes mate. I think you're onto me. :)

Here is the cockpit detail....

Evening Graeme...my other thought late last night was a Vought. Now I see the cockpit that also has similarities to Vought, but again nothing that quite matches. Time for a coffee and a closer look.
Edit...keep looking at the XF3U...close, but not close enough.:ugh:
Going to have to resort to Aerofiles....

Douglas XFD-1?
My Midland Counties book US Designations and Serials came to the rescue:)

Sorry for the delay mate, your control! :)

Just had a look at that - it does look very similar!

Cheers Graeme...good challenge:ok: Just never thought of Douglas! Hope all is well?

Will have one ready shortly

Here is the next challenge

Kawasaki T-4?

That was easy, yes the Kawasaki T-4 it is:ok:

Just thought it was a nice picture:)

Back to you.

Thanks Ken, but the silhouette cupboard is bare mate. Sorry. Open House. Put up another? Trevor? Anyone? Otherwise I'll start scrambling and look for one...
