Not too long after though - looks like a radial.
|
First flew 1939. Trainer.
|
Culver Cadet
But tail does not look right? |
It doesn't look right because it isn't a Culver..
|
Still no other takers?
Harlow PC-5A |
That's some vertical stabiliser...must have knicked it from a B-17.
Radio antennae looking like a spindly nose gear strut missing a wheel? |
The Bear cracks the Harlow PC-5A.
|
Well done Bear.
dook - may we see the photo non-silhouette? - an interesting looking aircraft. |
|
The Harlow photo is on wiki.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlow_PC-5 I think it is New bay in the background. Now this 2D silhouette: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7ed8efc3a.jpeg |
It looks positively twitchy...
Wouldn't like to stall it - even though it's a Trainer. Round and round and round you go - having said that - with that rudder authority - you'd probably get out of Dodge in a trice. Looks like it's related to the T-6 - when the designers came off the whole big tail trip. If someone had thought up Uber Air Taxi in the 40's - this is what they would have depicted on the advertising garb; "Arrive relaxed at your destination, in our fully equipped aircraft - ready to satisfy all your air traveller needs, etc..." Nice. Any still flying anywhere? |
Probably the same with the L......
I don't know if any Harlows are still airworthy. You can Google as well as I can. |
Unfortunately I can no longer Google on the Internet.
I can only refresh pages that I have recently visited - including this one. My PC appears to be - without my authority - to be self-isolating... |
I believe there are some search engines who like to put themselves on top as standard opening page.
There are some PCJ-2’s still flying. Other PJC-2s That Still Exist Also contains the story behind the ultra large fin. |
Now then Bear, tell us about B/A ratios.

I am just a deep sunken shipbuilder spinned out of his education. Please elevate me (and others) |
Not enough space here to go into pro/anti-spin characteristics and recovery.
I think the challenge is the Lockheed Alcor but I'm not sure exactly which model. |
Further investigation indicates it is probably a DUO-4 or DUO-6.
|
Dook scores again!
the Alcor (Olympic) Duo. This is clearly the Duo-6 as anyone can see due to the difference in air slots in the engine cowling! remarkable engine set-up. Which forced me to only post a side view. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2052f7045.jpeg |
Just a curious question having observed, but not taken part in these threads over the last decade or so, who or what is "Heikkis' " ?? I've looked back, but there never seemed to be any posts with that name. Just curious tis all ;-)

But that might be pure coincidence. |
Lake Buccaneer per chance?
|
It's not Lake Buccaneer. Check the tailplane position.
|
Re SHJs question (#11700) my post #10830 of 24th Oct 2012 may provide a clue. Ned
|
The challenge was American and only one was built.
|
David Thurston involved?
Referring back to the Harlow, it seemed familiar and I think I saw one at Oshkosh. The name that sprang to mind was incorrect! |
No involvement by David Thurston.
|
|
|
At last we have a winner.
John Eacott has found the Bunyard BA-3X Sportsman. All your JE. |
A self created silhouette; should be easy :hmm:
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....eb2ade63a.jpeg |
Looks like something from the Mad Max.
|
I believe it is the Saunders Roe Skeeter Mk6 G-AMTZ fitted out as an air ambulance.

No John I did not find that photograph of the aircraft, but from the cockpit shape and nose wheel I thought it was possibly a skeeter with side litters and then found a side view of the aircraft. I understand the aircraft was fitted with a 200 hp Gipsy Major engine. I also understand the tank on top of the main rotor hub contained HighTest Peroxide for rocket booster system to the main rotor. That must have been a nightmare, good job the Bell turbocharged Sioux came along..
Here is the next:- https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....d033d4d396.jpg |
Curtiss Model 54 Tanager?
