Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 16:10

Welcome back Reg. :ok:

Nothing's wrong mate - I didn't want to appear a hog!

RegDep 30th Aug 2011 16:14

Maybe one of the some 60 Slignsbys……

Edit: my post above was after your challenge, so the time machine is still coughing…..

Scrap the Slingsbys

Reinhard Cumulus 1951

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 16:54


Reinhard Cumulus

This particular one was 1953.

Your thread. :ok:

RegDep 30th Aug 2011 17:13

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2011 17:19

You are the slowest wingman in the West!!!

They called you Ernie you know.


......and he flew the slowest fighter in the West..........

Evening Reg....your's is an interesting looking machine. Trying to work out what the lump is under the fuselage....American?

RegDep 30th Aug 2011 18:04

Skytrain, yes, American.

Sorry for my slow, just grilling Irish rack of lamb…..

irishair2001 30th Aug 2011 18:19

:eek:RegDep ,you mean a rack of Irish Lamb :ok: lol

RegDep 30th Aug 2011 18:45

Irishair, my first language is not English (nor Irish), but one of my first preferences is Irish lamb. I'll leave the details to the experts :). Whichever way, the outcome was perfect. Need to go back for seconds….

skwinty 30th Aug 2011 19:06

Curtiss Wright CW-22/ SNC Falcon?

RegDep 30th Aug 2011 19:14

Skwinty, correct.

I have it as Curtiss-Wright CW-22 but it is the same, I believe.

Over to you skwinty! :ok:

Edit: I see you edited it so there you go! :D

skwinty 30th Aug 2011 19:25

Thanks RegDep,
Try this one, should be easy.:hmm:

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 19:45

Evening skwinty....the Vultee XP-54.....?

SincoTC 30th Aug 2011 19:45

Evening skwinty,

I do believe that's a Vultee XP-54 "Swoose Goose"

Just got in and going to get something to eat now, so Open House please if correct.

Edit: Snap!! well done Ken :ok: (I shouldn't have stopped to ask for the OH)!! At least both answers came AFTER the Challenge post :rolleyes:

skwinty 30th Aug 2011 19:56

Hi SincoTC and skytrain.

skytrain has control.:ok:

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 20:21

Thanks skwinty...and well done Trevor.. just pipped you at the post:)

Here's the next challenge:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/cf3dd4bf.jpg

SincoTC 30th Aug 2011 21:22

Is it a Robin Alpha ?? Not sure which one as there seems to be a lot of them! There's a similar angle shot in Wiki of an HR200/100

The horizontal tail looks about right, but I haven't found one with that aerial wire!

Will have to ask for an Open House if it is please, as I'm off to bed soon for a 5am start tomorrow!

Good to see you're light on again Reg :ok:

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 21:48

Evening Trevor...not the Robin Alpha or the HR200/100. You are very close:ok:, but this is an earlier design, originating from the late 60's, and quite different in its appearance.
Edit to say, I think the wire aerial is a red herring as others of this mark do not appear to have one.

SincoTC 30th Aug 2011 22:02

Back again Ken,

I wasn't entirely convinced about the Alpha, so I just had to have another look!

I found this photo that rather looks like the one you used:

Photo Unknown Robin HR.100/210D Safari D-EHPL

the caption says it's a Robin HR.100/210D Safari


But then again, the photo of the Ambrosini I found after LM posted, was your picture, but the Italian website captioned it as an Ambrosini F4 Rondone, I should have zoomed in as it had F-7 painted on the cowling!!

Really off now so OH please if it's correct this time!

skytrain10 30th Aug 2011 22:44

Got there in the end Trevor:ok:. Yes, its the Robin HR100/210 Safari, a variant of the original HR100/180 Royal of 1969.

Here's a side view which shows its rather distinctive design.

SincoTC has declared Open House

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 07:22

Morning / morgen / evening. :)

We have not had one of these for a while.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 07:32

Good morning to you Mate :)

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 08:14

Busy sleeving.....

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 08:27

Not me :(.


one of these
You mean motor gliders?

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 08:29

Yes I do.

(also preparing the Christmas Special)

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 08:57

That picture taken at Turweston?

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:01

Dunno!

I'l try to find out - standby.....

No - it's in Belgium mate.

skytrain10 31st Aug 2011 09:15

Its a Schwammle HS-3 Motorlerche I believe?

If so will have to be Open House

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:20

Bingo!!! :D

Pity mate, but it's OPEN HOUSE again.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:30

Boohoo :{

My PERFECT site is silent about it, but somewhere else I see that it is a motorised version Schleicher Ka-4 Rhönlerche II . . . .

And, of course as always, the web is full of its pictures…...

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:44

Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread. :}

Got anything Reg?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:49


Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread.
When your adrenalin level is back or close to the safe level, please make a stab at this one, too:

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...Dep/3108-1.jpg

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:51

Looks like it's time to go to Aerofiles.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:54

You might Mate, but what a pure waste of time.

Took a look at Military. Did not see much adrenaline there, though :ok:.

Ridge Runner 31st Aug 2011 10:05

Hi Reg! Would the "step" in the top of the fuselage actually be the wing? RR

Edit: I'd say its a re-engined Junkers?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 10:10

"On top of the fuselage" is an antenna - behind the challenge aircraft is another aircraft.

Why re-engined? This aircraft came with at least seven different engines.

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 10:10

A good day so far - please standby.....
