I propose that any future challenge should only be answered by someone who is prepared to contribute a challenge of their own, unless that's being a bit too demanding? Here's another: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....e4af6d33ec.jpg |

|
'Tee Hee' is my rendering of a 'Snicker' and a Snickers chocolate bar in the UK used to be called a?
One was allocated to RAE Farnborough and used on the Farnborough - Westcott - Bedford ferry service (occasionally stopping at Twinwoods Farm rather than Bedford itself.) I was told that with a full load of passengers it could not climb very high and that the passengers hated it in winter as there was no heating. |
Is that a Snicker or a Snigger ? !
|
Yes it's a Marathon. I only met one navigator who'd received training in a Marathon and he wasn't very complimentary about it. Slow and with a very poor rate of climb (30 min to 15000ft if light enough) and they often bumped around at 5-7000 ft in and out of cloud.
There was a nasty fatal accident following probable loss of control leading to an overstress - it was later established thet the stick force per 'g' at high speed was much lighter than the RAF requirement. All yours Noyade |

I think I know but I won't say just yet.

looks Russian to me - a Lavochkin?

Not from Hughes.
But it is American and it is a racer. |
Marcoux-Bromberg R3?
|
Nicely found Zaxis. :ok:
Over to you. |
Thanks Noyade. It was a fun wet Sunday morning tracking that one down.
I'll offer this.... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b8937e1154.png |
I'm not sure why - last night the correct answer was given by Strablanik (spelling?) but now his post is gone?
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3cd0c4104f.jpg |
yes - he got it right......................
|
Yes, I was confused by the mystery disappearance of the post! I looked after 24 hours and it was gone.
Strablanik was correct so it's over to them if they want to set a challenge otherwise OH?. . |
Looks like it needs to be Open House.
Just to keep the thread trickling along.... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....46d88b48c7.jpg |
1.9 Strutter?

I don't want to join the party but I couldn't resist offering Thomas Morse Scout.

Yes - artwork depicting Howard Hughes crashing the S4 Scout during filming of Hell's Angels. He survived with a fractured skull.

Kamov A-7 gyroplane.
|
Chevron has it. You have control.
Kamov A7 Fighting Gyroplane. The rear gunner must have had to be very careful where he pointed the weapons! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a096b7841d.png |
Open House.
|
|
I think I know it but let somebody else have a go.
One seen on telly recently. |
|
If someone said s/he knows the answer , but won't tell, then I'll be shy to contribute my guess, I may be wrong compared to the other poster.
Wouldn't it be better, not to post at all that you know the answer? |
Washoutt: I only said that because I've had some other successes recently but having said that, the follow - up picture is not the aircraft I was referring to.
|
quite a few of these were built - but I've never seen one in the flesh................
|
|
Ok, Chevron, thanks.

Jodel D140.

(NB Nearly stol has noted his/her contribution is on the wrong thread - it should have been on WhatCockpit)
24 hours has passed and I confirm Noyade has it correct Yugoslav KB-6 Mataju - quite a lot built - also known as the LIBIS The aircraft design office of LIBIS brought together teachers and students of the Ljubljana technical high school in modern Slovenia . The design office designed the KB-6 Matajur which was a two-seat light trainer and tourer that first flew on 4 June 1952. The KB-6 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and an enclosed cockpit with side-by-side seating and dual controls. The aircraft was produced for use in aero-clubs until the mid-1960s. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2d26adce50.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6f44975b4a.jpg |
