Did I miss it looking through Miles or Boulton Paul aircraft?

No picture but one of the Miles M-18's was tricycle gear for a while...??

Yes you did mate. Go to the wiki site - see the list - 10th from the bottom. :)

Karlark 30th Nov 2012 21:41

Ah, M.64 it appears :*. You should have let me chase my tail for a little longer, I was having fun. :)

Gotta run. O.H... I'll see if I can find anything for later tonight.

Noyade 30th Nov 2012 21:44


M.64
Well done Karl. :) Adios mate!

G'day Brian. :)

Looks like the LFG (Roland) C.II...?

'evening Brian,

Is it an LFG Roland C.II "Walfisch"?

Edit: Graeme got me again by a minute :{
Well done :ok:

Noyade 1st Dec 2012 01:46

Note the big fat knuckle above (no, not you Karl!). Still sore, but it's come a long way since September...:ouch:

Karlark 1st Dec 2012 02:02

Yikes!

I do have a couple knucklehead kids... they are nuts that didn't fall far from the tree! :)

Noyade 1st Dec 2012 02:09


is that your hand? Bicycle accident?
Yes. :( Getting too old for the mountain bike mate.

Noyade 1st Dec 2012 02:11

If we're both agreed on the Roland, would you like to post something? I'm sure Brian wouldn't mind.

Noyade 1st Dec 2012 02:17

But if not Karl, and in the event it is the Roland - Open House.

Same here mate. Knucklehead tree out the back with three nuts in the house...:)

Karlark 1st Dec 2012 02:45

Here's something to look at until we hear back from evansb. I took the picture myself at a local airshow this Summer:

G'day Noyade!, its still dark, cool and Nov.30th here... Yes, it is indeed the L.F.G Roland C.II Walfisch (Whale). As you say OPEN HOUSE.

Noyade 2nd Dec 2012 11:03

Not a Challenge. Repeat, not a challenge.
 

I took the picture myself at a local airshow this Summer:
Nice. B-17 going by the turret?

Got one for ya - or anyone who's interested. I'm not sure what aircraft this is, although I do know it's a Mark 8 nuke. However, it does provide proof that Zombies exist! - look at the extreme left...

Lightning Mate 2nd Dec 2012 12:40

There are not many aircraft with close-coupled twin weapons pylons on the inboard fuselage.

For what it's worth I think it's a Banshee.

Karlark 2nd Dec 2012 23:34

I think Banshee, too... with unidentified bigfoot-like creature lurking in the background.
Yes, belly shot of a B-17 further above.

Still Open House

Noyade 2nd Dec 2012 23:44

Yes, I believe you're both right. Me being a dummkopf, thought I was looking at the fuselage. No mate, that's a zombie...:)

Alright, try this, following on from Brian's WWI theme...

Karlark 3rd Dec 2012 01:02

Nieuport 12... maybe?

Noyade 3rd Dec 2012 01:07

You're just about there mate. A little higher with the designation, and you have it.
