:{Just a quick guess LM, what are your findings?

skwinty 29th Aug 2011 19:06

This is the picture I silhouetted.

I obviously made a lousy silhouette and for that I apologise.:O

But, Volpar Turboliner it is.

SincoTC 29th Aug 2011 19:49

Had to go out for a while; back now, but heading to the kitchen.

Looks like the infamous "Prune Clock Bug" has been upsetting things again!!

Not the best silhouette skwinty(as you admit), but obviously good enough for irishair2001 to ID the Volpar Turboliner correctlly :D, as skwinty confirmed in Post #2000. Got anything to post irishair??

skwinty 29th Aug 2011 19:51

Moar, Irishair2001, Moar!!!:ooh:

Lightning Mate 29th Aug 2011 19:52

:ok:Thanks guys ,but as i have said before ,i have not been able to manage to post anything on SC,so if anybody wants to take over my OH ,please be my guest :D

irishair2001 29th Aug 2011 20:50

:=Actually LM the way to confuse an Oirish Man is to stand 3 shovels against a wall and tell him to take his PICK, :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

As no takers for the OH, here's a quick one for the night shift:

Skwinty, your silhouette was perhaps not perfect but good enough, and well recognisable as the Volpar....other than an exaggerated kink in the nose couldn't see much wrong with it. All I would ask is that you try to make them a little larger...if the image is a low resolution you can enlarge it using Paint...or at least that's what I use.

trucky04 30th Aug 2011 11:08

OK. Can I start the ball rolling? this is a 70's design, probably Czech? Clues are welcome:)

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 11:12

Trucky, nice to see someone having a go:ok:

Not Czech (but is is a European design), and not from the '70's. Try the 1950's.

trucky04 30th Aug 2011 11:14

IAR 827 of Romania?

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 11:28

Good afternoon Ken. :)

Some of us are busy.

Yours reminds me of the Ambrosini F4 Rondone somewhat.

trucky04 30th Aug 2011 11:35

I meant the 823. Yeah Ii know I was wrong but I'm sure you'll agree now that I am 'less wrong'!

skwinty 30th Aug 2011 11:54

Blume Bl.502

SincoTC 30th Aug 2011 12:20

Good afternoon gentlemen :)

Lunch-break!

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 12:35

Looks as if Ken is having to do some w o r k .....

This post was made at 1345 Prune time!!!

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 12:47

Been working, so first opportunity to take a look.

LM, not the Ambrosini F4 but you are very close :ok:

Not the Blume or IAR823.

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 12:52

The Ambrosini F7 Rodone it is David:ok:. Early version with the F4 tail. This particular aircraft still flying today.

Lightning Mate has control

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 12:55

It must be the F7 then.

I-ADRE.

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 13:08

Thanks Ken.

Simple typo on my part. I found the photo above and there was no mistaking your silhouette and the background detail.

Here's an interesting ship....
