No RR. 22 - 25 hp, Hirth or Zenoah.

Max Holste Broussard ?

This one is not French.:(

what are you hiding above the fuselage? A central fin? I'd say those boots look Russian or eastern/central European?

Nothing hidden, WYSIWYG.

The boots may be Russian or eastern/central European, but not the aircraft.;)

triple fin/rudder?

Twin not triple.

OK, so what is the black blob above the fuselage covering?

ta da !!!

Hi skwinty....would this be the Chrislea Skyjeep with its back open?

Hi Skwinty,

I posted AFTER Ken. Its just Pprune that timed it wrong.

RR

skytrain10 has control:D

Damn, RR why didn't you type the name in your post.:confused:

Thanks skwinty.....believe it or not it was the open cabin door that gave it away!
Despite the timing of RR's post it did not appear until after I had posted my answer (honestly!).

Please bear with me as have only just got in...will have one prepped in 15 mins give or take.

Looks like the pprune clock probs have returned!

Here's the next challenge:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/5ea8551c.jpg

:ok:hello skytrain , is it the Valmet Leko-70 Vinka

Hi irishair, not the Leko-70.
First clue, European homebuild from the 1970's.

My first thought was a Firefly, but it can't be..

cheers,
Jake.

Morning....not a Firefly Jake, but you're in the right country:ok:

Morning Ken,

Just a quick stab before going back to work; is it the Coates Swalesong ?

Open House please if correct.

Morning!

I did not jump the gun!

I posted this after Ken confirmed! :ooh:

Noyande - C47?

Morning Trevor
Yes, it is the Coates Swalesong...well done:ok:.
First flown in 1973, just 2 aircraft built; G-AYDV (below) is still in existance. The other one (G-BAAH) cancelled back in 1991.

SincoTC has declared Open House.

G'day, No mate.

I was thinking the other day....when we turn perfectly good illustrations into black, should glass/perspex areas such as the cockpit, observation domes, windshields, passenger windows, etc...remain white?

Edit. Thanks Reg! It's all in the wrist! :ok:

Edit 2. Out of sequence....again...

Hi Graeme....Bloch MB.220?

Yes mate....short and sweet. :ok:

Your control.

Edit. Sydney Harbour Bridge must be very heavy...always drops below the last post!

Trying to go under the bridge...here goes...

Edit. Yes!

Your control Ken! :) See above the bridge!

Thanks Graeme....here's an aircraft that could easily go under the bridge:

Graeme, my view is that its down to the individual. Traditional 3-views from Observers' books etc show all the features you mention, but arguably these are not true silhouette's, which technically should only show the outline, not the the detail.

Immediate thought was a Gotha Go 145.....but no.

The reason I asked is the Bloch had a lot of windows and I thought should I try and leave them...but too hard.
