Whist there appears to be a lack of interest in taking part in Silhouette Challenges judging by the number of people who have logged onto the thread over the last couple of hours there still is an interest in the topic.
The aircraft at post #10294 is the Parnall Plover http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6.../plover1-1.jpg As an experiment I would like to post the following challenge. It is not a Silhouette but certainly an aircraft of Aviation History and for some people I should imagine also nostalgic. Open Houses are acceptable. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6.../Airquiz01.jpg |
Does that have a Wright R-540 radial engine?

As an experiment I would like to post the following challenge As you know mate we did incorporate AviaQuiz style images and photos on this thread some time back, but in the end there were howls of protest based on the thread title. Cockpit shots from the "outside" and Aircraft Carriers as aerodromes were other suggestions, but not to be. I'm more than happy to participate and think of ways of maintaining enthusiasm, after all it's all about having fun, and learning. It is a shame that you all find it necessary to move across to Google as this thread was renamed "Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge" in memory of Heikki who was a keen follower of the thread. So.... European? :) |
Karlark. You could well be right, I have been unable to confirm the engine type, it certainly looks like a 5 cylinder radial.
Graeme. I think the main howl of protest came from a member of the new group. Let us try it. There have been over 380 visitors this evening. This one is not European |
Well, I'm glad you didn't "Mortenise" it to just a wheel or a float.
This one is not European Collapses to a convenient size for a submarine? |
This was not designed as a submarine aircraft. A variant of this aircraft was the subject of a silhouette challenge sometime ago.
|
I have been unable to confirm the engine type A variant of this aircraft was the subject of a silhouette challenge sometime ago. But I'm onto it!....well maybe a bit later....gonna find me a Delta first. Cheers for now. |
Midday and still looking for a possible country.
The guy lurking in the background on the far right...is he wearing a Turban? http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/4589/airquiz01.jpg |
Or Chinese??...
The more SC sites the merrier, in my opinion. I enjoy looking at aircraft. Don't care if they are or are not a silhouette as long as the image is ungoggleable. Is that a word? :) |
Graeme.
is he wearing a Turban? Karlark as long as the image is ungoggleable. Is that a word? |
He comes from the4 west. |
Good afternoon Mel :),
I think I'm right in saying that's the navalised version of the Azcárate E-1 Sesquiplano (AKA Sesquiplano E) from Mexico ?? I've just got back from a business trip, thanks for filling the breach; I was going to reclaim my OH last weekend but my Internet was down again! I'll continue to post on this thread for the same reasons as you gave above and like Graeme, I may well post on the new site if I have the time to spare, but I'm very busy at the moment and have a few emails and PM's to answer! Edit: Evening Graeme :) How are the fingers? You shouldn't have been making that gesture to a passing motorist when you fell off your bike mate :ok: |
Azcárate E-1 Sesquiplano (AKA Sesquiplano E) from Mexico ?? G'day Trevor. Still broken mate, but I can still stick one finger up. In fact I'm sticking my finger up at you now, see? Bloody Azcarate...... :ok: |
Hi Trevor. Great to hear that, like Graeme, you will continue to post here as well as the Google Groups. You have it,:ok: it is indeed the Azcárate E-1 Sesquiplano (AKA Sesquiplano E) from Mexico.

Thank you Mel, a most timely reply as I've just knocked off for the day and am off home shortly, nothing prepared up my silhouetting sleeve at the moment, so I'll follow the trend and offer an AviaQuiz type challenge :)
http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/.../TC_wtf252.jpg Will check back later after "walkies" and getting in some provisions! |
Somebody here has just been very, very, very nasty.
:mad::mad::mad::mad: |
Somebody here has just been very, very, very nasty. Mel |
Trevor. A Renard RSV 18/100 I believe.

David has taken action on my behalf Mel, not that I asked him to, but he has chosen to out of anger.
Those on SC who have also joined my google group will no doubt be aware of the reason for that anger. I have no fight against anyone on SC and I thought I had made it clear in my PM to regulars that there were certain reasons why I had chosen to leave. There is no more for me to say. Suffice to say I am so disappointed in the attitiude of a certain SC player - I really thought that everyone on this forum had a good relationship. Sadly someones true colours have been displayed. There is reference to Heikki's name further back. I think its safe to say he would be disgusted with the comments made to me and I would like to think he would be right behind me. This is my last post, and I wish MOST of you all the the very best. |
David has taken action on my behalf Mel, not that I asked him to, but he has chosen to out of anger I would just like to make it plain to any casual observers that I thoroughly condemn such an attitude and wish you well in the new thread and I will be posting on there as soon as time permits and I've had a chance to get to grips with the interface! Edit: Mel, see my reply to you on next page!! |
